Maniacs vs 3 Spartans
game 2
Extremely tough start. Block on the left and block on the right. Good thing Gurni showed up and I managed to build archers, which allowed me to deal with the blocks. In the fight with 30 Earth Elementals, the ballista broke, and the road ended on the very first day. But Gurni got Log and Earth. Scraped together barely enough for horses. With the horses, I broke the block and on 121 with 4 horses I burst into the secondary town. Some very harsh guards there. On 123 I break 100 Earth Elementals, level up Earth. I attack 41 Black Knights with Grand Elf, guarding the Earth spellbook and the Dragon Fly Hive. I thought I would lose, since the army had only 4 Grand Elves and 31 archers plus a screen of 15 Pikemen and 11 Air Elementals. But with the loss of two horses, I still managed to win the fight, and as a reward Gurni got Diplomacy. :smile44: . Gurni was very fast, Log, Boots, stable. On 131 I recruited 102 Medusas and 19 Nagas. With this lot, I easily broke the Dragon Utopia and picked up the Air spellbook. Then I bought Air and leveled it up immediately, which allowed me to move quickly. On 136 the first final fight took place. Kira had 23 spell power, and I had the Cloak of Rejection. I made a mistake, forgetting that my Air wasn't fully leveled, and as a result I was hit with Lightning for 1k damage, which hurt. I managed to win the fight, but the game continued. There were almost no armies left, and new joiners started coming to me. A couple of days later, another battle took place, but Kira bought herself off and flew into the treasure zone. I got tired of that, ran for the Shackles and finished it with an overwhelming advantage. Thanks for the game.
P.S.: Funny fact — Jem was strolling through the snow of the secondary zone, found 2 parts of the Well (+2 and +3) in two adjacent chests, and on the same day I found the third part at the opponent's respawn. The Well really saves you when you have 4 spell schools, but only 120 mana.
