Vinceras
Auto-translated
It turned out to be an incredibly long game - largely due to buggy generation, where my exit from the starting respawn branches off to my Inferno computer opponent and a path to my opponent. From my respawn, the entrance to the computer's respawn is through wasteland, and from the computer's respawn, the exit goes through two non-working bidirectional portals and the best part - a one-way portal with a one-way ticket (a stone pocket of 5 tiles in the underground zone, with no way out).
On week 1, I captured my computer opponent, not much money, developed haphazardly, guards everywhere were brutal.
Found a Griffin Conservatory on my respawn and on the computer's, only 4 Dragon Fly Hives total. Seems decent, but no buildings at all.
On the third week, on the road I planned to run to, Galtran appears with stats 7 8 6 6 (8 angels, 700 skeletons, 30+ Wyverns, 100+ Marksmen, Marks)
It gets scary because I have nothing to fight with. I immediately discover that the portals don't work and there's no path to retreat.
I collect all the Dragon Fly Hives and Griffin Conservatories, simultaneously building a mage guild in the computer's Inferno. I recover a Town Portal scroll!
At level 5, I get Fly. Galtran seems to be without Logistics, so on the middle roads I managed to hold out until the end of the week, leveling up Grindan's spell power, combined with Intelligence, it turned out fairly decent for a confrontation. I also cut 70 demons.
Grindan 2 4 7 (200) Meteor, Blind, 7 angels, 70 demons, 30+ Wyverns, 10 gr. Pit Fiends. Built a castle and holed up inside.
Galtran turned back. In the rear, a scout hero on an angel was breaking Galtran's supply chains.
Managed to hold off. But the situation is still bad - Grindan has no Logistics, and everything is far away. Kalh has Logistics, but Wisdom and Earth are only basic and there's nowhere to level up.
Found 2 Dragon Utopias, which gave a Sentinel's Shield, a Sword +13, and КО for fire for Grindan.
Galtran ran into the treasure zone, while I leveled up Kalh's Wisdom and Earth, trained a couple more heroes, and using Fly, captured the computer's Swamp and a couple of villages, also recaptured the enemy Necropolis castle and placed a Vail.
Built a mage guild in the Tower village, there's a magic repeat from Inferno. No Dimension Door.
But then Galtran starts jumping and repeats his path to the Inferno castle.
Again I barricade Grindan in the castle with 300 mana, equipped Shackles of War, and there's also a Cloak of Reckoning and an Anti-Chain.
Grindan 19 17 20 (300)
14 angels, 54 Monarchs, 4+4 Sultans, 10 Dragon Flies, 200 demons, 20 Pit Lords
Galtran 18 18 19 (170)
23 Archangels, 270 Halberdiers, 37 Crusaders, 23 Zealots, 40+ Marks, 46 Wyverns, 1100+ skeletons.
In the second round, I destroyed the ballista and through Blind, Slow, Haste left my opponent without mana, then shot Ice Bolts.
Thank you for the game!
Good start, Galtran arrived, all guards are Necro-oriented, didn't set up horses, but there are skeletons, a few Dragon Fly Hives and a Griffin Conservatory. On the second turn, I took Dragon Fly Hives for 20 Wyverns, Griffin Conservatory 3, at the exit from the respawn there's another external dwelling of angels. But that's where all the good stuff ended. I also captured the Necro computer opponent, with a Necro amplifier, but it takes a week to run to my own computer opponent, never captured it. The main downside is no Logistics, no objects visible either. Decided to go to my opponent hoping to find something there, along the way took more Dragon Fly Hives, all the rest were already taken, couldn't even capture the castle, had to retreat. My opponent already had Fly and Town Portal, while I had no control. Took 2 Dragon Utopias, they gave stat boosts, built a guild - nothing, in scrolls too. Went to a corner treasure zone, there, towards the end of the game, I found a Dimension Door scroll, and on the next turn took a Dragon Utopia with the Book of Air! Ran to my opponent, attacked the castle, played the battle poorly, didn't account for the importance of the catapult, and in the end couldn't even escape.
Thank you for the game!
