We spent all our rests and I got a huge underground respawn by Minion standards. Only the conflux dungeon is available from the start, but there is one problem - the starting hero there is a Miner, I went to him only after building fast Efreeti and sparked the Efreeti external dwelling. I decided to take it on the first day and Town Portal it. I managed to do that, but at the expense of main town development, resulting in many Efreeti but without building Pits and Hounds. On the second day I found another Efreeti external dwelling. Initially I decided to focus on Nymus, gave her Wisdom and Fire, invested in GM4 in the dungeon, but miscalculated - she got Counterstrike and Water Walk. Then the opponent had a stronger tavern army, no resources, and in Inferno there wasn't even GM2. Everything was very bad, and then I got extremely lucky - from a Dragon Utopia level 2 I got КЗ + the 4/4 Hat, I recouped resources, upgraded the Pits on the third day, and everything started developing rapidly. On day 146 the opponent was 1 tile short of taking my main town; its loss didn't scare me, but it gave me a chance to attack him via Town Portal. Nela had better battle stats, while I had more than double the spell power; earlier I had checked him with a scout hero and he cast Haste. I attacked with over 2k explosion in reserve, but he had a Cloak of Abnegation, so I had to improvise and shoot Lightning, while he started buffing - Mass Haste, Mass Shield. I decided to buy time in round 3, completing the main task by cutting down a fat stack of 40+ Wyverns. I attacked again the same turn; he decided to buy time and returned my 35k gold.
Then we stalled a bit, built both Arch Devils (but now first speed in battle was mine).
On day 212 I ran to his respawn through the small central treasure zone, where, by the way, I decisively took the Sphere +50% Water damage. He basically didn't build Tower and focused on Conflux, but the main thing was I built an Observation Post at his place and reached the secondary's ramp the next turn.
The opponent attacked on his turn; I was ramping up with all my might in the Castle; he was 1 tile short, although I thought back then he wanted to fight in the field on my turn. Well, this gave me an extra turn to capture the Luck+Morale flag (I had a Spirit of Misery, but luck never hurts) and I attacked.
The difference in battle parameters heavily favored him, but he had 16 spell power and I had 28, and the water boost came in very handy since there was an Amulet of Lightning; I also had 35% resistance (20 skill + 15 boots), which triggered twice during the battle, plus an Ice Bolt for 850 created enough of an edge for victory.
I really liked the ending; any small detail could have tipped the outcome in the opponent's favor.
Thanks for the game.
