We took all the restarts.
I got a decent draw, but when your opponent has a free sword +5 to everything at their resp, a 5th magic hat, boots, and mana doubler near the ГО, you need significantly more.
In general, my swamp was placed close to the ГО, so on the first day I bought few heroes and barely made it to open space. On the second day, Deesa arrived, which gave some hope. However, the resp was quite rich in troops. 3 Griffin Conservatories, a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, external dwellings of wyverns and hydras.
I took the first minimum-level Griffin Conservatory with a hydra on day 5. On day 6 — an external dwelling of wyverns and another angel. After that I made a big mistake by attacking the orcs with two major heroes. It turned out there were a ton of them, close to 100, and, most sadly — a gr. stack numbering 15 units. I had 2 angels, a hydra, 4 wyverns, about 20 lizardmen, 4 basilisks, and a few gnolls. Somehow I managed to win the battle, leaving 2 angels and 3 wyverns. Next I had to urgently buy troops from the dungeon to have at least single units for the external hydra dwelling. The guard of Az 18 minotaur kings was also not pleasant — minus another wyvern. Well, the external dwelling itself was easy. I built the hydra den in the castle, but I have no money, and there's nowhere in particular to get it.
At the start of the second week, I take a medium Dragon Fly Hive, then a level-2 Griffin Conservatory. Deesa leveled mass slow, so the slow-footed ГО was taken down without issues. In the center, I managed to spend two days. I captured the sword and shield of the titan, and the shackles. I didn't have time to find magic, and then Gundula ran in. She had somewhat fewer troops than me, slightly higher stats, but I had absolutely nothing to counter her implosion.
Thank you for the game!
