The Final Battle 8

We started playing without resets: there's a double swamp, I have Grinya, Charna, an external dwelling of gremlins, harpies built, and I have gold.

On week 1, the computer killed 2 of my heroes and took the crystals I desperately needed, but I defeated it, and I traded for crystals in its castle ) as a result, nagas in the Citadel. Towards the end of the week, Gosha shows up :smile03:

On day 121 papal move: I had a choice between buying almost everything or upgrading the nagas and buying 1 naga (so I wouldn't have to haul them home for the upgrade). I decide that a level 1 Griffin Conservatory with Grand Elves on rocks is easy anyway, so I take 1 upgraded naga, 8 harpies with pikemen and 100 gremlins, attack with a scout hero: wiped out :cool:

Next turn I finish it off with the remaining growth, realize I'm afraid to go to the center without an army - I go to the corner treasure zone - necromancy, level up Gosha, take the Dragon Fly Hives and Griffin Conservatories, find pieces of the Angel of the Dusk except for the helmet (I saw 2 on day 111 near the castle)

There was nothing worthwhile in the corner treasure zone, at the start of week 3 I break into the center, and the opponent is already there, I think they're about to beat me up now, but no. I grab the +2 HP flask right from under the opponent's nose. I start a small scout hero war, scout around - I see the helmet in his 17th zone - treasure zone.

I drop everything and rush there with Gosha: Angel of the Dusk :D But fearing a trick, I don't go for the kill, instead I carefully scout and do necromancy on the side with Charna, and run around aimlessly with Gosha. On day 136, the opponent attacks me with a decent Crag Hack. I have the advantage in meat + Angel of the Dusk - I wipe him out completely, entirely.

I go for the kill. No views, no Town Portal (I have Dimension Door at home, I've recovered a bunch of scrolls, found 2 Flies, but no Town Portal :( )
For 2 weeks, nothing is added to my army or stats, the opponent is pushed into his corner treasure zone. Charna with tower meat + skeletons gets chased away by an angry computer.

I need Town Portal: I kill 2 Dragon Utopias - empty, but along the way I find a cloak for immunity to 3+ magic, I spend money to build an artifact shop - there's a +HP ring, another one lying far away. I grab them.

Meanwhile, Cobra kills a purple Castle computer player's scout hero, I decide to take it over so the main hero doesn't have to go there. I arrive, see a freshly defeated Taz there - I chase him away, there's a level 3 Griffin Conservatory and a max Dragon Utopia with КЗ!
I immediately collect ducks from the swamp, upgrade skeletons, gain +1 to speed, in short, a normal game begins.

I take Cobra's last corner castle, Taz vanishes into thin air. No one stubbornly takes Air magic - I spend 50k from the last Dragon Utopia to search for a hero with Air magic, so I can finally level him up and see where Taz is :D Nobody levels Air magic, there's a small unexplored corner of the treasure zone left, I'm starting to wonder if he slipped through somewhere?

But then Cobra writes that he's in the corner, wants a fair PvP 1 on 1 :smile10: . I can't refuse and run there (Funny, I use Dimension Door, Cobra writes in chat: "not there, higher" :D) . Nothing worthwhile was found there.

Thank you for the game!
Good luck going forward!
