"only XL-2"

A very difficult game turned out.
111 - fast roads, 3 stacks arrived, broke the block under the castle for a shield +6 (pic.1) Next I see an external dwelling of Manticores behind a horde of Beholders, the road ends with two teleports, exit and entry ))) Good thing it wasn't the other way around, otherwise I would have had to take a restart right away, but as it was I decided to test myself and play something like that))
On the second turn, I ran everyone into the entry teleport. One leads to a village and to the green Conflux, and the second to the center
113 - Shakti level 5, with expert tactics and earth magic
114 - broke the guard of the Hive - 50 Nomads (pic.2), but I didn't rush to trade the remaining 120 Troglodytes in the cramped Hive yet..
115 - almost reached the corner Rampart village, in the center I discovered 2 Griffin Conservatories (the second one not close) and a passage to the super treasure zone, which turned out to be native too! I can see a Dragon Utopia, Hives, external dwellings of 6-7 :smile03:
116 - snacked on an empty box :( (pic.3) (clearly all of level 4 there, immediate morale -3)
117 - ran back to the Hive. In the main, levels 1-5 in the Citadel, no one to Portal. The green and orange computers are actively scouting my territory.
121 - the red one also joined them...:D on Champions. Checked the Griffin Conservatory (seems to be a strong one) and hid in the land gates..
122 - he doesn't take the Griffin Conservatory and that's very good, he runs back to his own area.
I take 12 Wyverns (pic.4), and stand next to the second Hive. Need to overload the computer, I'll finish writing later

I confirm. Well, KobRa couldn't overload the computer in 10 days:D .

We played more than a month ago, I've forgotten a lot. There were more restarts, but 2 were built, I see 2 external dwellings of Crusaders for Tazar (bought him on 112) go. On 1, horses in the castle, sand crossroads, but Tazar takes Pathfinding second. On 114-115 I take the computer's Rampart, Shakti reveals battle stats 4 11 and I see movement of the blues. On 121, a scout hero runs out, checks the Griffin Conservatory 2-4 in the movement zone of the blues, Tazar is not leveled up, the army is still only native, forced to give up the Griffin Conservatory for now. I take the max Hive on the sand, another mini Hive and decide to go into the super treasure zone. The war of scout heroes began. On week 2, I build Angels, fight in the super treasure zone, see a Dragon Utopia. On week 3, I reach the max Dragon Utopia - I'm afraid, I see another Dragon Utopia and Libraries, I go to them. After 2 Libraries, I take the Dragon Utopia 3 on auto, then the max one also on auto, minus 2 Crusaders, but alas, no КВ or КЗ, stats are 25 35 battle. I break through 50+ Snipers in a Pandora's Box of air, but without Town Portal, even transporting troops is a problem. I get defeated and on 2 Angels I approach the Rampart, which KobRa had already taken. As it turned out from review, KobRa saw and could possibly have ambushed Tazar. I take the Rampart back, run away, combine the troops. Then I go into more treasure zones looking for Dragon Utopias. Stronger in army, but alas, I only learned Town Portal on week 6. Collected the elixir. KobRa on 147 took the main. He plays guerrilla warfare, captures towns and flees to inaccessibility, has at least 2 heroes with control, also has Shackles of War with which he finishes off my heroes. We played until 232, then I exchanged continuing a hopeless game for a consultation with Guru. Tazar's stats were 35 45 battle (and that's without the Teapot).
Thanks for the game! Good luck in the Tournament!
