On day 1, Crag Hack and Mephala spawned. I was thinking who to take. Went with Mephala along the stat-boosters, and Crag Hack took the road. Starting with 13 Elves, 50+ Centaurs, a Griffin Conservatory near the Castle, a Stable, and an Observatory. Took the Observatory with the horse, spotted an interesting chest above the Castle behind 20-49 Pits, and a second Conservatory. As for mines, it was rough, of course, but it's a random template after all!)) Decided to play on. On day 2, I upgraded the Elves, cleared 10-19 Greater Demons on the road, and took a Dwarf Cottage with 1 upgrade. Spotted a third Conservatory on the road.)) On day 3, did nothing, built a Mage Guild because Crag Hack got Air magic expertise.)) Burned 20-49 Birds at the Obelisk :( On day 4, spotted movement boots, grabbed them, and cleared the path to a secondary hero behind 20-49 Greater Gargoyles. Broke into the Castle, built Pegasi (Crag Hack already had Air expertise), bought a spellbook.)) On day 115, killed a hero for a pile of gold. Uland with an Archer's Quiver and 5 Dwarves attacked 20-49 Gnolls — and I was exactly 700 short for Dendroid Soldiers, so I sniped him.)) Took the secondary town (Tower). On day 116, I wasn't done — decided to take the same pile with Coronius, Archers, and Centaurs, now behind 4-9 Gnolls.)) Got myself killed too.)) Crag Hack cleared the Underground behind 20-49 Hounds, found some gold, a Prison, +1 Attack, and a Coliseum.)) On day 117, Crag Hack cleared the Prison (freed Uland with Centaurs and Dwarves), went along the stat-boosters (Arena, Camp), cleared another secondary town (Inferno), broke into the main town, built Haspids. On day 121, bought all the meat (didn't even build a Citadel because of that accursed pile of gold!) except the Haspids, and cleared the second Dwarf Cottage via the Stable — also 1 upgrade. Built a Tavern in the Tower. Day 122 — bought the Haspids, cleared the Conservatory (1 upgrade). Day 123 — cleared the chest behind Pits (5k experience), experted Earth magic. Day 124 — took the second Conservatory (1 upgrade) on the upper path. Day 125 — took the Grail building (8 upgrades), cleared the passage to the treasure zone, sat in the Tower to replenish mana... opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game!
After 3 restarts, got a rotten spawn — only 1 road to a secondary town, filled with Fanatics. Broke through wasteland, killed the Griffins. Up top, a horde of Beholders and Sand... Killed what I could, no Serpent Flies at the respawn. Miraculously found Haste at the end of the week. On week 2, took the secondary town, cleared what was there. No Conservatories, no Hives. Reached the one remaining treasure zone — snow there. No point stalling. Thanks for the game.
