We clashed so-so, beasts against long-range units, but at least I got the red color.
In the first week, I had high hopes for Tazar, but alas he turned out to be some kind of cripple and took archery; on the third level-up he advanced it... the advancer... I didn't even have a proper external dwelling for lizards.
In one of the secondary battles, Bron got Earth magic, so I started paying attention.
Meanwhile, I grabbed a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and an external dwelling for hydras.
On day 117 I give Tazar one last chance and he takes a cube for 50-99 swordsmen, empty, I mean absolutely nothing... I gave up on Tazar, forget him.
In the second week, not much to do, conservatories etc etc
Bron is trying, took Attack and Tactics, though still only basic stuff for now, such a nice little beast growing up.
I entrusted him with taking a Dragon Utopia, he lost a hundred guys but the monarchs and angels survived, and for that, thanks.
I came out on day 125, Kyrre attacks immediately, her attack is twice as high. Armies are roughly equal: I have 6 angels, 65 monarchs, and 2 hydras while he has 8 angels, 8 wyverns, 40 grand elves, and 3 dragons.
I saw R@sim had 3 green dragons and thought there was no money for gold ones and therefore none for buyback either, a wrong conclusion leading to an exchange clearly not in my favor.
I was left with 57 monarchs and 1 angel, the opponent bought back with all 8 angels intact.
As it turned out later, I was lucky with a red sphere from the Dragon Utopia because Kyrre had the Tome of Air Magic with 15 spell power and 70+ mana against my 10. Yes, +2 speed also to him.
In the third week, I was gathering the central zone, captured a Dragon Utopia, Dragon Fly Hives, artifacts +2, +4, +5, +6 all, wings, Tome of Earth Magic
Meanwhile, the opponent is taking the neighboring Fortress respawn, even managing to steal my +2 HP and the Dragon Utopia from the center.
I did catch him, but he bought back, and I had no shackles.
In the fourth week, I took two home Dragon Utopias, upgraded the hydras.
Kyrre had already stormed into the last Fortress respawn, the most annoying part is that I'm following right behind but everything there is already taken... she really does run impossibly fast, I couldn't even imagine how to catch her, damn, she's completely occupied my mind. I only took three hydra external dwellings there; meanwhile, Tazar takes the far castle in the treasure zone, and right there nearby is a Dragon Utopia, a Dragon Fly Hive, a library, +1 all, and two cubes with pink dragons — he took everything.
On his turn, the opponent discovers that one of the hydra external dwellings I captured had its guard not cleared. I cleared it on wings, I really thought the vampire lords were their guard plus pandora's boxes, but it turned out the manticores guarding the helmet also guarded the entrance. (screenshot attached)
At the moment this was discovered, my army power was higher in the tavern; the next day I would have grabbed the esteemed +3 all — the last piece of the angelic alliance. Bron's stats were 39/39/36/30 against Kyrre's 34/23/17/20.
Both heroes have Logistics and full Control, the opponent had collected the elixir but didn't have the armor.
It would have been an interesting game, thanks
