03.04.2015 TwinkieThecake (Blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Bison (Red, Inferno, Kalh, Tiraxor) Jebus Cross 142

Took 2 restarts; in the end, it generated 2 external dwellings of cats and a level-1 cons near the castle. During the first 3 days, I cleared both external dwellings, portaled the cats to the castle, and took the cons. There were practically no clues on the explored territory (there were only 2 clues that could actually be taken somehow). On the other hand, it dropped a bunch of Pandoras, which I collected until the start of the 2nd week. The Miner leveled up Earth; one of the checked huts gave armor, so the main hero became practically ideal, but on one of the level-ups, they offered resist and something even worse. I wanted to move out on day 123, but that same day speed boots and a flail appeared (and it seemed to me that Shakti's attack is lacking), so I decided to build a chain to take these artifacts. On 124, I burst into the center with momentum (ГО group of cats, beat up some meat and broke the ballista); on the way, I found a teapot for 14 red and 3 black dragons (finished off the remnants of the eater) and captured the central castle nearby (Ramp) (set up GM and sat there to replenish mana). On the next move, I defeated a loser with a land view scroll, bought him out in Ramp, passed the scroll to the Miner, and saw that most of the center is stretched upwards, meaning for the opponent to reach the tastiest parts, he has to go through me. I took advantage of this, bought as many heroes as possible, and began scouting. Thus, I ate almost the entire center, assembled a sword of justice from Dragon Utopia, a necklace +3 all, shield +4 all, red orb; from one Pandora for 100 pits they gave 3 gold dragons, for 60 nags there was a box of 10 uniques, and for 40 hydras they gave another 3 golds. Meanwhile, the opponent was eating his own respawn and didn't venture toward the central castle. On 137, after breaking through one of the opponent's ГО, I used DD and flew toward his castle. On 141, I took the castle, bought some losers, killed his losers, scouted the area for a main hero nearby (turned out he was sitting with his whole army in the secondary), and ran toward him. On 142, the opponent attacked me himself (Shakti: 32-34-27-23 with red orb; Tiraxor: 27-22-16-21). Shakti has a lot of troops, Tiraxor has no defense... Thanks for the game!
