Interesting game it turned out to be, didn't expect I'd pull it off, but luck was on my side. I didn't take a restart because of the library under the fortresses right in front of home, and Jeremy started leveling Loga. On day 117, Nagas in the Citadel, Jeremy with Air and Earth, Artillery, and Loga as expert, didn't reach the opponent - he was sitting far away, but I slipped into the central treasure zone on the sand. There, under a horde of Dendroids, lay a Sword +6 and a Refugee Camp. I took the sword and went to break the fortresses, buy a book, and hit the Griffin Conservatory. Stats very impressive for day 123 (something like 17 9 4 5). Same day I checked the Refugee Camp - ARCHANGEL :smile03: I wasn't against it)) I broke a few conservatories, leveled up a bit, and on day 131 dove into a Dragon Utopia (took it without much trouble, only the Firebird suffered - gave stats - Dragonbone Hat and Sword +12 -3) and revealed a Control scroll under the Aspids. On day 133 I claimed Control (turned out to be Fly). And then the opponent exposed himself. I attacked, killed his Angels, made a stack of Cyclopes combat-ineffective (2 left), and killed the Serpents, while I lost my Archangel and a few Cyclopes. The opponent bought himself out, we continued. Stats were good, but army power was a bit low; I feared I couldn't break his castle, so I decided to power up further. Everything was quite far away, but Fly helped. I killed another Dragon Utopia (there I got exactly what I was looking for - the Red Orb), found Shackles of War, and assembled the Bow of the Sharpshooter (Archery didn't kick in, but everything was fine anyway). I rushed to day 147 to take back the opponent's main, knowing I had a decent power advantage (by then the tavern was showing serious stats, perhaps even more serious than mine). I arrived in time, reclaimed the main, and then caught the opponent with his entire army.

Thanks for the game)

Well, everything here was much more brutal for me....
we took a few restarts, of course, as soon as the map was okay, the opponent took a restart.
on this map I had day 111 even, but in the first week: Corkes, Tazar, Mephala
I decide to play....on day 112 I regret it...the roads are twisted into the a** :confused:
2 weeks running around for nothing.
on the first I see a neutral stack of level 7 hitched with Enchanters...them in the Stronghold.
day 127 I take the neutral stack and set up Serpents.
I see insane stats on the opponent.

on day 134 total chaos starts...
I pop out at some respawn, reinforcements arrive on day 135, don't know where to go, choose to go right... without a solid army +4 Serpents +4 Nagas + 21 Pirates, well, in short, almost half the army...the opponent catches me.

I buy myself out, went for 3 Naga banks as I have absolutely no gold.
141/142 I have 5 Serpents, 14 Nagas, 6 Cyclopes, 30 Pirates, 6 Mages, I dive into a Dragon Utopia...difficult, but 5 Serpents and Nagas survive. +6 ALL + KВ + feathers + 3 Attack.

just super. No mana, nearby dungeon MG+dbl mana. I spend money on Inferno with Mephala, full demoning.
on day 147 I have 93 Demons, 14 Cyclopes, 12 Wyverns, 5 Serpents

last round I defend 2 scrolls, one Dragon Utopia, I get Town Portal but I don't know that I could not build MG...so I lose the main.
day 211 the opponent reaches me, I have exp fire magic, exp earth, fire book, air book, stats: 28 20 14 11 (208) +3 morale + 3 luck exp archery, opponent 27 9 14 13 (100+) I thought Berserk+Chain Lightning+Armageddon

yes yes....the opponent has a cloak for Berserk...hahaha.. Red Orb :eek: Bow of the Sharpshooter...oh man...and the Ring of Speed...
morale didn't kick in, luck didn't work,
the shooter chops 3 Angels...Cyclopes die from the opponent's Cyclopes...Simply everything that could go wrong went wrong. My army dies very painfully and quickly...
TP -> at home in the castle it would have been unclear, or 2 Armageddons and GG. eh...

thanks for the game
