We started fairly quickly after one restart from the opponent.
111 - I see an external dwelling of birds, two Dragon Fly Hives, a necklace +3+3 to magic, a Pandora's Box for gr. ogres, a Dragon Utopia. Seems decent, especially since Gunnisson came in and there's a place to level him.
112 - I light up the view. Another external dwelling of birds, Cloak of Abdication, Dragon Fly Hive, Sphere of Air, Spirit of Despair, a couple of Pandora's Boxes. And I even found a log cabin in a hut! And Gunni gets earth magic.
113 - I grab the Pandora's Box for troglodytes, 5k experience, leveled up armor. I take a village - a Dungeon, which is very good. The second road to a secondary is blocked by medusas with Shackles of War. Another Dragon Utopia, though, I won't get to the Dragon Utopia. Problems with gold are looming.
114 - I break myself, grab the log cabin. I reclaim a sword +3 and a shield +4.
115 - I run to the ogres. I have nothing and no one to fight with...
116 - I hit 30+ ogre magi. I get a perfect, as it will turn out later, Pandora's Box - for 10k gold. I run to the first external dwelling, set a chain to the second.
117 - I set and buy birds. I hit crusaders for the external dwelling. An unlucky pair of moralities - and minus one bird. In frustration, inside the external dwelling I waste everything except the bird and a water elemental (I unsuccessfully burned myself). The chains are stretched tight, no room to deviate; large Dwarf Cottages and Medusa Dwellings along the way, it's dangerous to take them with 3 birds. But it's necessary; I attack the dwarves, fortunately, it turns out to be a score of them. With the earned 5k I set up a portal in the Dungeon, buy birds, 10 trogs, transfer them to Bron. He breaks 70 griffins without losses, successfully gets tactics, and grabs the external dwelling itself without significant problems. Total - in the army 7 birds + in the castle, earth elementals and fire elementals are not bought. I also scouted some comfortable boots.
121 - I reclaim the boots, Spirit of Despair, and the necklace of magic. Gunnisson breaks towards the library.
122 - Crypt, Cloak of Abdication, Dwarf Cottage 15, library, Sphere of Air, Dragon Fly Hive for 12 Wyverns. Maxi-Medusa dwelling, Dragon Fly Hive for 4, Dwarf Cottage 20, a grave with junk, Shackles. Turis runs a bit further along the previously blocked road and sees another Dragon Fly Hive with a Pandora's Box.
123 - Gunnisson breaks, doubles his mana, breaks again, and runs to the GO. Turis runs a bit further, sees the third external dwelling of birds, and grabs it.
124 - Dragon Fly Hive +6, Dragon Fly Hive +8, I buy the last birds from the external dwelling. There's no money for any kind of burn. So I leave the spawn - 19 birds, 28 Wyverns, and single fairies. Right at the exit I immediately grab Dragon Fly Hive +8, upgrade my shield to +6. And here Galtran is standing nearby. By and large, I was ready for the encounter, because I saw from the log that the parameters were roughly equal (16-12 vs 16-14), my army even had more on the loser than Galtran's, and I had the Cloak against magic. However, he still had only 15 points of mana. In the army - 1+31 gr. Wyverns, 12 black knights, and 100 skeletons. I positioned a bit awkwardly, but 20 birds dominate anyway, I have no fewer Wyverns, and as a last resort I had a bolt for 300+. Overall, it was easy to win, and the Shackles gave not the slightest chance to continue the game.
Thank you for the game!
