The game turned out long and grueling. I took my opponent by attrition, as they say. ;)
On week 1, I took 4 villages and the brown necromancer. I had Vivi dwellings in the castle. Income from week 2 was 6+ K, but it felt a bit empty (only 1 Dragon Utopia scouted, a library). The scout reveals my native treasure zone off-road with a Vivi external dwelling, and somewhere far beyond the mountains a +5 sword — that's it! I run there. Anyway, I finally reached him on day 126. I build hydra dwellings. On day 131, Griffin Conservatory level 3 at the necromancer's respawn. And we head to the only revealed Dragon Utopia. I took it on day 133 — King's Zone, I portal to all towns to gather troops, because on my own day 133, Kyrre is already advancing (having taken 2 villages). His stats are 22,19 — against my 9,16; in terms of creature power, he also has the advantage. I exit the necromancer into the treasure zone. Kyrre captures the main town and dismisses the horsemen. On day 136, I pick up the Blue Banner, and things get more interesting. But the fast-moving logistician with horsemen captures castles one after another.
On day 142, Kyrre reaches Tazar, who is boosted on 8 angels (it's exactly those 8 angels that survive); I respond with a chain — 6 angels from his side. Then the fight for towns begins.
And on day 214, Kyrre blunders on pegasi; Taz catches him with shackles on the last move. I thought to myself: now the artifacts will pour in, and it's game over. But no. No artifacts! On his turn, Yog attacks with 27,21,7,14; 7 angels, 94 wyverns, 21 greater unicorns, 3 titans, 11 mages — against Tazar's 16,21,23,18; 3 greater hydras, 3 angels, 50 wyverns, 8 greater basilisks, 44 greater lizardmen, 6 efreeti. The titans blast 3 of my wyverns, and I buy peace (the battle was fought under Curse of the Netherworld on my side; I thought it might dig up Kyrre). I was losing in stats, speed, and army; there was no reason to engage in melee.
On day 216, Yog corners Tazar with unchanged stats and army, but he has the Cloak of Magic Resistance ((( Tough luck... I cast Slow and wait. Everyone approaches piece by piece; on the opponent's side, Haste is cast on the wyverns in the 2nd round, and his 94 ducks crash into my 47 ((( Nothing to be done — my ducks move, I strike with the remainder, then with everyone else, and two Ice elementals fly into the opponent's ducks dealing 530 damage each. The trade-off: 44 ducks on my side and 41 on the opponent's side. I switch Tazar to a loadout with Lightning Bolt and Sphere of Air (Lightning now deals 915). We ran around for another couple of days, and it all ended with the opponent forgetting to put on the Cloak of Magic Resistance after loading a save. After the explosion on 32 ducks, game over.
Thanks for the game.
