Pretty slow and poor start after a day 5 suicide vs 40 plus lizard warriors. But got some free gold and week 2 I got the necro cape and made a decent amount of skells before taking a con with 3 angels. Then moved to t-area, but map was bugged, so opponent came from the other side. I left all army on a scout after beating some giants for boots and only 4 angels on main when I saw he had cleared some of it and I lacked one step to get the army back, but luckily he had left the area. I Found a scroll with DD and built guild and got TP, which decided the game. Went to a couple of t-areas but didnt find much. Then found all parts of AOTD and same turn kyrre showed up. I attacked and killed half his army. A couple of days later I went for a t-area that kyrre had just entered. I attacked again with 5 angels, 11 ABS, 120 demons and 1600 skells and won easily. Thanks for playing.

A bugged map was generated, two neighboring spawns were flooded, thus bugged roads. But nonetheless a brisk start, on the first week I grabbed a comp, 8 heroes, 2 conservatories, training 2 heroes, Fyur and Paiyr. They level up like crap, one has Intelligence the other Literacy.
On the second week I take conservatories 1+2 in the snow, I push back the swamp and run to the sandy treasure zone, I free Kyrre level 1 and switch to her. For the entire second week I eat the treasure zone... result: 6 Dragon Flies, a nagabank and a medal +3 morale and luck, THAT'S IT!
On day 131 I clear the second treasure zone, there are 2 boxes and an external dwelling of efreets... In the first box experience, in the second all air.... advanced Wisdom, I almost threw the monitor out the window. And then in the distant wilds Maretti appears (in that same sandy treasure zone), well I think it'll take him at least 3 turns to get to me, I'll just clear the snow (third) treasure zone and meet him.
Then Strike (Maretti's main) moves. From the length of his move I understand there's at least a Log with Boots! Kyrre nervously smokes! I thought for a long time whether to meet him with the chain or not. The army is roughly equal, only I have 12 efreets and 100 mana, he has 14 mana and 500 skeletons and slightly higher stats. I think screw it, let him stomp around the swamp, I need a couple of turns to eat 4 Dragon Fly Hives. And then Strike demonstrates Control, TP and Dimension Door :eek: and runs off somewhere after pushing the swamp.
I try to find/build Control, about 70% of the map is revealed, I shook out 2 more treasure zones, empty, just empty.
Kyrre, by the way, leveled up terribly, never offered Air or Earth once, I leveled a scout hero with expert Earth for transportation. On day 213 I got TP... but on day 212 there was the first FB, I set up on tactics to strike with magic and army and buyback, but there were both mass Haste and oil from AOTD, it was damn painful, -50 demons, -40 Dragon Flies, -4 angels and something else. I bought back, went into a treasure zone, in one turn I recruited another 50 demons, 20 Dragon Flies, bought some efreets, but Strike with 2 DDs and 3.5k mp came to the same treasure zone and finished me.

Thanks for the game.

P.S. There were only two Dragon Utopias level one on the map :eek:

P.P.S. Interesting fact: when Fyur with two efreets and meat was killing a rather tough comp Armag attacking the castle, I had to summon fire elementals because the towers shot down the efreets. So, when there were no troops left (the last Armag killed everything except the elementals), both heroes died and a reserve stack of zombies remained in the comp's castle, which didn't fit into the garrison during the battle!
