The Final Battle 8

I scribbled away, as I thought, magnificently: blue dungeon, all that. 2 stacks came + 2 native heroes.

But on 112 it turned out I don't know how to take a level-2 Conservatory in the underground. Out of 150, 40 Troglodytes remained :D

Then everything went downhill: Shakti leveled poorly, the computers bullied me, I ran 4 heroes in the first week because there was no gold. An annoying block in the first treasure zone.

The second treasure zone turned out okay, Shakti was completely disappointing, I saw Dessa in the tavern, leveled her up, immediately got Earth. On the second week I took a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and 2 libraries with Dessa. Saw Opp in the center — got really upset. Made me a bit happy with the sword +5 and Ogre Lords for 15 ghost dragons, but left all the meat and a couple of ducklings there.

But then a lucky streak began, on 127 I think I took a level-3 Conservatory with a miner at home, transferred back to the treasure zone to Dessa, took the 3rd library, and then behind the Liches — which I broke through with 5 angels on auto-battle — they give the entire 4th tier!!!

Next, I immediately take the Dragon Utopia, double mana, another 3 Dragon Utopias, gauntlets, boots, Dessa flies, stats grow like yeast. I also snagged the max Dragon Utopia from under Hel's nose. Built Bears in the treasure zone, upgraded them. Decided I needed the first turn. Initially missed Opp's main by a hair on 136.

Opp had Castle and Rampart computers, I checked with view, decided to try my luck on 137 — take Castle, upgrade the Archangels. I guessed wrong — ended up in Rampart :(

Moner's stats sharply grew on 141, I could have attacked in the open field on 137, but I chickened out, most likely for nothing.

Ok, now I know exactly where Castle is — I fly with 4.5k moves to upgrade Archangels on 141, having bought only Bears to avoid wasting moves. So I fly to Castle, and Moner has already TP'd from the center :(

I decide to attack. I have 13 Bears, 16 upgraded ducklings, 7 angels, about 40 upgraded Lizard Warriors with Golden Bow, Dragon Flies, stats 32 46.

There: 10 Archangels, 59 regular ducklings, 5 birds, + useless meat, stats 41 23, Speed Ring, Shackles. Fortress, fortunately.

Well, nothing to be done, I close the catapult, wait for him to make a hole. He just can't manage it :smile18: They methodically kill everything with Archangels through wait, and they even get moral every round. By the time the hole is breached, only the Bears, ducklings and 2 angels remain. Only 1 Archangel from retaliation and the birds with the ballista are killed there.

I burst through the hole, killing all the meat. On round 2, Opp removes the retaliation from my Bears with birds. I crash into the Archangels, starting with the Bears, kill them in one round, losing a couple to the ducklings. Then the poor ducklings die of a heart attack.

The stat advantage decided it, and the Bears were magnificent :smile03:

Thanks for the game!
