BISHOP
Auto-translated
Few air elementals arrived, and there was no second level. But not far away I found their hidden spot, a hidden spot for psychos, and a hidden spot for fairies. I dug up a good hero; crypts and Dragon Fly Hives were visible. During the first week I collected Dragon Fly Hives, +4 Chains, and a Well (I bought one artifact at the Artifact Merchant and got it from a chest on the same day :D ). I built up a good stack of Wyverns. To avoid losing a day, I took a chest for gr with nagas using a scout — the scout leveled up better than the main hero and turned out to be a decent support mage with Wisdom, Earth Magic, and Scholarship. Almost before leaving, I scouted another Dragon Fly Hive and a chest in a far corner. I had to take those with scouts too — more experience for the scout:) (which ultimately I didn't need). There was one Griffin Conservatory at the respawn — wonderful) Gurney leveled well: Logistics, Earth Magic, Tactics, Wisdom, Air Magic.
I came out on week 2, day 2 through gr with Wyverns with Oil. There was a chest guarded by Hydras for 5 Green Dragons right there. Then with Cyclops I defeated two birds for two chests of experience and 25 Grands + a max Dragon Fly Hive. On Day 3 I took a Dragon Utopia — Wings, Black Orb, Sandals +2, Gold Bag. I scouted a Helm on day 5, but no movement. Bishop wasn't visible, no Air Vision, I passed the turn, nervous. All good — the Helm is ours. Accidentally lost an Angel (even slowed, dragons are fast....). Took the central towns. The Dungeon was located right near Bishop's exit. He has ГО (Green Dragons) and ч (Black) Knights. Judging by the gold, he took Dragon Utopias there. Stats aren't visible, meaning either he's hiding them, or more likely, they were allocated to Magic. I have nothing for Anti-Magic — it's dangerous to go. Decided to clear the C (Center). Lots of Dragon Fly Hives, gathered around a hundred Wyverns. The Well was very convenient. I kept giving Oil in the Dragon Fly Hives because the dragons were causing trouble in auto-combat. They also gave a chest with 5 Green Dragons.
I built two level-4 mage guilds. The second one gave Town Portal. We already planned a move for splitting and learning, but I got КЗ in a Dragon Utopia. Nevertheless, Town Portal came in handy for the scouts.
Bishop came out on day 3, took the Dungeon, and dove into the second Snow Respawn. I took back the Dungeon and from then on, every day until the end of the game, my main hero slept there — it was too strategic. I couldn't see the overview in the C (Center). He had two scouts stationed there. For one of them, I had to dig up a scout on a Fairy to reach him. Of course, my uplifted mood turned sour when I saw Bishop had Control, but unlike me, he clearly took longer paths. He has more experience in this running around, it's scary:( I also made a mistake and erased two Green Dragons. I found and delivered an Air Vision scroll (just when I erased them, having not bought a scout on the dragons beforehand, but having already split with a scout carrying the scroll). An artifact for Morale also helped.
The running around began, scout battles, searching for useful artifacts. I needed 5 artifacts for complete peace of mind: 1) Bracers, 2) Armor of the Forgotten One, 3) Boots, 4) КШ or Cloak, 5) КО to gear up, if needed. It was also critical that Bishop didn't have the Bracers.
The roads on his respawn were extremely long; everything was very hard to take away, back and forth many times. The birds saved me thanks to going first, of course.
Out of the five needed artifacts, I found КО and Armor. I bought two artifacts at the Artifact Merchant in a town on AOTD, but not for myself — so Bishop wouldn't get them :D I assembled the Elixir.
On Day 46, I managed to cover Gundula. She was standing on 5 and 1 Titans. I was preparing to take back the C (Center). The Alliance plus a Speed Cloak with Imps in the main stack helped me win.
Thanks for the game!
