21.07.2015 theG (Red, Random, Castle, Random, Orrin, Jeremy) lose Pridu (Blue, Random, Conflux, Random, Ignissa, Gunnar), 8mm6a, 133
Although I don't really like Conflux, I decided not to take a restart.
1. I caught Gunnar (although Jeremy had already appeared in the opponent's tavern).
2. Near the castle there is a University captured and you can buy Earth Magic there (the Mage Guild has Slow).
3. I spot Boots behind a pack of demons, which can be picked up on day two.
4. And of course there is RE 112
On the second day, I picked up the Boots and found nothing else interesting, not even a shabby external dwelling of fairies. The clues at the respawn are guarded by 5-9 Ghost Dragons :-) Never mind, Gunnar has Boots.. we'll manage!
By day 4, Gunnar is 1 day's march from the castle :-) still nothing interesting found, optimism is starting to fade.
On 115 a Griffin Conservatory is discovered, which is already better, and on the same day, from a direction cleared near the castle (20-49 Orcs), a computer opponent jumps out at me. The only thing that saved me was the mage and the fact that in Conflux they always build a Mage Guild...
In the end, by 117 I occupy an Inferno castle for free, with the castle already built...
Chains are built to return troops to the Conservatory.
By 122 the Conservatory is taken (level two). Gunnar wants to go to the center in the Underground (well, I thought that was the center) — it turns out the center of the map is my Treasure.
By 125 the Angel of the Dead is almost assembled, only the Skull Helmet is missing. Gunnar is preparing for the march to the center.
I run Gunnar out of the castle and only then remember that I wanted to build Mage Guild level 2... The chain takes Conservatory level 1, then Gunnar takes a chest for 10k XP
127 Gunnar finds another Conservatory (the third one in count and damn it's another level one, what bad luck)
131 we run further, we can already see the Red scout. We choose from three directions an exit from the Underground to the surface and follow the path... But I fall short of the castle by literally 3 tiles..
The opponent, on the other hand, on 131 was 4 tiles away from my hero, but chose a different path (took a maximum of Ulis for 12 Wis there).
132 Jeremy of the opponent doesn't reach me, a castle is built in the Castle stronghold.
I take the opponent's main, losing 4 Cyclopes and a couple of Air Elementals (I save mana, although I'm Blue and it will replenish anyway!!!). I see that the opponent hasn't even bought anything and Angels are built, not bad.
I send out a scout, he spots an external dwelling of Swordsmen. Well, I think I came just in time :-) Another week of running around in the wrong direction and I'd be done for (I hadn't even built Birds to level two yet).
On 133 the opponent attacks the castle, but has no chance of recapturing it.
As the post-mortem revealed, the Skull Helmet for my Angel of the Dead was with the opponent, and he had taken it from 5-9 Snipers, maybe it was quest-related.
Thanks for the game.
