"only XL-2"

16.02.2015 LeBron (Red, Castle, Valeska, Shiva) def Palach HP (Blue, Conflux, Random, Labetha, Tyris) 8mm6a 211

I got 31 Archers, Shiva and a Griffin Conservatory, decided to play. Very little gold, the road to the teleport turned out to be long, but a very decent crossroads leading to the center and my own computer opponent (though it was blocked by a horde of Silver Pegasi).
As a result, on day 1 I went to the purple bot, which turned out to be Inferno, I sit on 117 in a Castle, everything there is set up for Efreeti, so I recruit them instead of Cavaliers.
Very little army, the home Griffin Conservatory turned out to be 3+, Mass Haste is not upgraded, so I decide to start with Dragon Fly Hives, I take two - 6+6 and prepare to split up and return home. At this time, Tyris jumps out of the teleport with decent stats and an army of 5-9 Angels, 1-4 Firebirds, 5-9 Psychos and a zoo with decent combat stats. We're screwed :(
I hole up in the Castle with under-upgraded Earth Magic and prepare to lose in a maximum Griffin Conservatory, but the last battle finally gives me the coveted skill and Haste 3 lands without any issues.
Meanwhile, Tyris without a spellbook (as revealed later) chickened out and split up to return home :p
My Shiva with 3400 movement points flies to the scouted 2 Griffin Conservatories and a Dragon Utopia, collecting gold piles along the way. But the Griffin Conservatories turned out to be onesies and with such a setup, there's nothing to do in the Dragon Utopia.
The plan changes - there is another Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Utopia near a far corner town on the Inferno side, as a result I bust into Inferno with Shiva, but make a mistake by overestimating the army and rushing into the Griffin Conservatory without checking it with a zero-level scout hero. Naturally, it's maximum there, the bot on quick combat loses without killing even half :D
With a heavy heart, I start scraping by and barely manage to win while losing everything except 7 Archangels and 4 Archangels.
My main hero gets a supply boost and dives into a double Dragon Utopia. It rewards royally with +2 all stats and Remove Obstacle :smile03:
But the opponent still has much more supply, the plan is to demonize everything available and on week 4 field a hundred Demons and Archangels.
Shiva runs to yet another corner town with 8 Archangels while the rest of the crew amasses Demons in another corner of the map. In the corner town, we found a onesie Dragon Utopia with a Crown +4+4, which is not so bad overall.
I Town Portal home and with the same 8 Archangels run to 2 more revealed Dragon Utopias (in the far end of a huge respawn area).
In the first Dragon Utopia, a jackpot on stats: +6 and +3 all stats and a Sword +12 (I had no Sword or Pendant at all before this). As a result, the stats are already cosmic compared to the opponent's weak main hero.
The second Dragon Utopia gives an even more valuable Air spellbook + 2 double Griffin Conservatories and an Angel external dwelling next to it.
As a result, by 145 we have Shiva with 39 28, 14 Archangels, 97 Demons, 14 Archangels, 3 Behemoths and single Efreet Sultans, with full control and maximum movement range. :smile10:
I go visit the opponent, no one is home to meet me, the whole crew is roaming around the orange and lavender respawn, no Chains or Control.
And on the next turn, an unexpected finale happened:
My Eleshar level 1 with Archery and 1+1+1+1+1+1+8 Centaurs against
Aeris level 1 with Lightning Bolt and 4+4+4+3+3+3+3 Faerie Dragons.
Completely unexpectedly, I managed to pull it off. After losing the key hero and most of the army, the opponent surrenders! :smile03:
Thank you for the game!
