a combo of shit-talk + red orb pulled it off
but if in SoD this could only be countered by insane resistance, then in HotA there are at least 2 options: Ogre's Fist and the Cloak from level 2-1
but the opponent only remembered the cloak after the game, even though there were 2 copies lying around, 1 of which was with the opponent
but it is what it is
as for the game -- there was a bugged passage into a treasure zone with a bunch of zeffirs, at first I was happy and went in there on week 2, but I rushed(( the treasure zone turned out to be tough, I was losing army, but most importantly, I wasn't uncovering the map
didn't collect all the zeffirs (guards like a horde of cyclops or throne of sea wolves/eyes couldn't be beaten without angels, and conflux alas, wasn't visible)
when I got out, the opponent was already showing stats over 20!
in my part of the map, there were categorically no stat artifacts, in HotA it's somehow bleaker with that(( another thing that slowed me down was the lack of both log and speed artifacts for a very long time
but I took Conflux as a loh under the ground, started building up a mage guild there, sent the main hero there just in time for the built Town Portal, and ate a box with all the air elementals nearby!
could take Dragon Utopias that had no direct path to
Jedidah 5 lvl got in well, who was given a Scholar with expert earth, barely leveled him up before the Dragon Utopias
they also dropped dog crap at first -- mostly red balls :eek: but wings were given too)) with their help, lohs were gathering something around towns, but the opponent had several times more army throughout the game
but I'm assembling the AotD orb plus the Golden Bow :smile12: waited for Jeremy at the castle a couple of times -- 1 time I thought they would come on 211 to take my main, just then the red warlord showed up in that bugged treasure zone and, in principle, could have run over
because of this I essentially skipped a turn with the main hero, otherwise I wouldn't have made it home in time
but they didn't attack, instead they upgraded a horde of ducks and almost ran to my swamp, I sit down there -- but they run past and the purple Tavern with a capitol turns red
I decide to hold press there, the result is known: the Ogre's Fist and the Green Cloak were not there :smile10: despite the fact that Jeremy's towers shot just insanely and there were morale artifacts -- they killed the ducks that flew into the castle and suddenly shit their pants -- but I still managed to shoot everything down
GG, thanks for the game, good luck in the lower bracket :)
I confirm. Didn't think about the Cloak of Silence, which decided it. I had several times more army, but red orb + AotD is only half the trouble. But shooting + bow - all that together = no chance) Thanks for the game!
