I went red on Spider again and took the Castle. The first hand looked decent; after several shooter blocks on 112, I decided to take the rest. The second hand gave chocolate; I painted the native green opponent on the second day and got a rest from the opponent. The third hand gave moderate roads, so I didn't think much about angels. On the respawn, external dwellings of monks and griffins. I kept thinking about building monks with the external dwelling, but at the end of the week reason prevailed; I built horses and didn't take the external dwelling. However, to rebuild I had to dive into the max-skeleton on the mud, after which little survived. Oh well, horses with griffins in the fort—that's good. Orange Necro with the boost item was captured.
On the second turn, I took a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, a box for first-level magic, and a mini-Griffin Conservatory. I captured several villages and the blue ramp (for some reason, the opponent wasn't given a road to it). At the end of the week, I bought Tanta, gave him the Necro Amulet, and took the external dwelling of monks. Monks are built in the Citadel.
131 Gunnisson breaks into the treasure zone. There's a Dragon Utopia nearby, but I don't risk diving in. No armor (and it won't be given), little meat, almost no defense. I run further, take a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and several boxes; in one of them is all of the fifth level. I break into a village, refill mana in the well, and run to the Dragon Utopia. It's a tri-Dragon Utopia; I took quite a lot of meat, everything died except 15 ducks, and only thanks to summon earth. I got a sword and shield from the Titan set. On 137, angels are being built in the Citadel at home; Gunn levels up at home on an angel; next turn I plan to break through the mountains and capture the enemy main. Tanta slowly necromanced 200 bones; in one of the villages, a Mage Guild-4 with a chain lightning spell that will kill Tazar at the end of the game.
141 I take a Dragon Fly Hive on the respawn, upgrade 19 monks, and break into the opponent. A red rush of Might and Magic; I sit in the town, and there's nothing bought up in more than two weeks! 8 ducks, 15 cows, 30+ snakes, and everything else. Only the basilisk eggs are bought up, and Tyraxor is running nearby with a good stack of them.
142 Tyrax on his turn takes a tri-Griffin Conservatory so I don't get it. I attack, kill the angels and half the basilisk eggs; Tyrax buys back in with 25 lizards and 22 basilisk eggs. I capture the enemy village at the bottom of the map. From the tavern, I see that Tazar took a Dragon Utopia and was given a hat with a lot of knowledge.
143 I made many moves but didn't manage to do two Dimension Doors with Gunnisson at the end, so Gunn stayed near the swamp. Unexpectedly, that turned out to be very convenient. On his turn, Tazar runs up and stops not far from the swamp.
144 I check—there are 10 angels and small fry, but 300 mana. I upgrade 30 Wyverns and decide to attack.
Tazar 13 18 12 300+ 10 angels 22 greater basilisks 4 regular basilisks 17 gnolls 8 Wyverns 25 lizards
Gunnisson 26 17 7 ~60 19 monks 30 greater Wyverns 3 angels 19 flies 26 griffins 47 pikemen 41 greater archers
The plan was a rush with mass haste, explosion over 800, Golden Bow for the archers and ballista, and even if basic, still a resist.
In the first round, the flies, angels, and ballista died from the meteor (but the ballista managed to kill an angel). I cast mass haste, kill ducks with ducks. The angels cut down the griffins.
Second round—implosion on the angels, I hit with Wyverns, two remain. The opponent corners the angels and resurrects four.
Third round—archers and implosion kill the angels; Wyverns move above and hit the greater basilisks. The opponent summons earth elementals. I have 8 mana, zero gold (a mistake, of course; I could have spent less).
Fourth round—archers kill everything except the earth elementals; Wyverns wait. An implosion flies at them; resist didn't save, two remain. If I had enough gold for even a hero ransom, I could have fled, leaving 4 lizards, and killed them with a shot on the same turn, but I had zero gold. So I flee, leaving the earth elementals. Both heroes go to the tavern.
Income 10k, a bunch of meat unbought in the swamp; Tanta is on the other side of the map with horses and skeletons, preparing to take the Griffin Conservatory, so the position looks better than the opponent's. On his turn, Tazar runs up to the swamp with meat ransomed from the dungeon: 8 medusas, 1+1+1+1+21 greater harpies, 14 Evil Eyes.
145 A scout hero kills one harpy. Gunn buys back in a village, learns the chain lightning spell, and immediately breaks through nearby. Buys back in a village with a nearby well, refills mana, and breaks into the swamp. I take 22+1+1+1 lizards and three snakes. Hold with snakes; the harpies also hold. I let the medusas and Evil Eyes shoot, and on the lizards' turn from hold, I cast the chain, killing all harpies. A second chain in the second round kills everything else.
Thanks for the game!
