The opponent took all 3 restarts in a row. As a result, it turned out very well, since it was almost a mirror match. In terms of the ability to recruit troops, artifacts, the difficulty of the GO, and hero development, everything was nearly identical.
On 111 I see an external dwelling of serpents, nymphs, a Pandora's Box behind cerberi, a golem factory, and zephyrs. Kreg arrived, who immediately grabbed Pathfinding. The roads seem clear – everything is fine overall.
On 112 I found 3 more zephyrs, as well as a necklace +3 to all stats. Well, there will be a main stack, I need to play. I also found another golem factory and a Dragon Fly Hive with a Pandora's Box, but I won't get to them.
On 113 I flagged both secondary towns, which turned out to be Inferno.
The following days were spent preparing to take the external dwelling of snakes. Kreg needed a spellbook, Haste, and at least 2 spell power.
On 116 the external dwelling finally fell. Without losses, but the money was spent down to zero, so the initial plan of taking the zephyrs failed. I had to urgently revise it.
On 117 I took 8 cyclopes and also flagged the second external dwelling with weak troops. Result – the snakes are in the Stronghold.
On 121 I take another 8 cyclopes. On 80 ogres with morale from a Cap of Silence I lost a snake. They were guarding a scroll of Fly, but I will never get to use it.
122 – I replenish Kreg's mana, break for home. I grab another zephyr for 8. I wanted to also take a couple of workshops, but I simply didn't have time…
123 – I reclaim the necklace +3 all from 100 evil eyes. I lose another snake. Kreg grabs a Pandora's Box for 5k experience and a golem factory for 2 giants. I leveled up well, expert Pathfinding, Air, Logistics, almost Earth. I run to the GO.
124 – last zephyr for 4, in the mansion with a bunch of vampires I leveled up Mass Slow, but the GO didn't please me – angels with a Cap of Silence. I still had nothing for the first turn, so I immediately took damage on the snakes (lost 3 in the end). I killed them somehow, in the center I managed to raise the sword +6. Total – Kreg (22, 8, 10, 8 (22)), 120 oceanids, 2 giants, 5 nix, 3 snakes, 26 cyclopes.
Our starting positions turned out to be very close, so Corkes (17, 11, 11, 9 (8)), who appeared on 125, was forced to attack. The army was relatively okay – 3 angels, 3 giants, 3 snakes, 3 nix, 7 wyverns and 40+ corsairs + a hard-hitting ranged shot. However, due to the almost complete lack of mana, the cyclopes shot them all down with almost no losses.
Thank you for the game.
