I took 1 resource due to junk, then 2 more from dead blocks. Then Inferno is dealt to me, Castle to the opponent, half the respawn blocked by a pack of Monks, with a very inconvenient detour, virtually no money on the map... For 4 days I ran 3 heroes, on day 117 I managed to take a dungeon - a village in an adjacent zone and portaled Gogs dwelling there, upgraded for breakthroughs, and there was no money for more serious buildings. In the capital, Pits in the Citadel... With this start, I expected an indisputable GG, because the tempo was not just 0, but negative, which for Spider on fast roads promised nothing good.
However, the rush towards me didn't happen, I took the purple Inferno on the second turn, a couple of Cons - singles. The rusher and some other scout hero were given Log, but due to the large number of Magogs, I take Frog into the army.
I only started making Kazls from the third week, everything looked very slow and caused concern. Especially since there, from the second week, Tyras with battle stats around 25 was shining, while I had 0 artifacts for stats and Frog at 8 2. As a result, on the third week, I entered the treasure zone, collected from different ends of the explored map 22 Utra Hives, had about 90 Horned Demons and 5 Angels from 3 Cons ago. I was thinking about taking Scouting or Earth for Frog, I think. I took Scouting and didn't regret it. After taking the planned Dragon Utopia at the end of the third week (a single with Wings and Thunderbird!!) and getting ready to retreat, I spotted, thanks to Scouting, the edge of another Dragon Utopia - a triple, though there were Black and Red Orbs and all 2, which can't be called good loot, and especially in my situation, I didn't need any of that... It should also be noted that this same super-treasure zone was also Inferno's and contained dwellings for Horned Demons, Efreeti, Gogs, and Cerberi, 1 each...
In the fourth week, in one of the adjacent zones, 300 movement points short of the parent hero and scout heroes, an enemy Ciele reaches. The parent was just about to take 3 promising boxes. The scouts scatter into pathless terrain, and 1 of them spots the edge of a Dragon Utopia where you can teleport with Wings. Frog, who by the way had leveled perfectly (result: Earth, Air, Log, Scouting, Wisdom, Tactics in addition to starting Archery and Offense), rushes there and in a panic (fearing possible control from the opponent) through a prison with a zero-level scout, takes 3 Dragon Utopias. I get substantial losses: -152 Magogs (under Thunderbird), 3 Angels from 4, and 30 Kazls, several Hives... but it gives KZ, KV, KO with good stats and a lot of money to buy from the 3 Infernos I already had at that point.
The prospects are the rosiest: Boots, Log Gauntlets, and 2 Dimension Doors, growth of 17 Efreeti each, need 1 part from the Angelic Feather, which can be taken at any moment... the only inconvenience - we're already playing on the flag, there's no time to do everything I want, and demonizing isn't handy.
On day 216, I take the opponent's capital with built Angels. The opponent on his turn pushes back with Kyra, but on day 217, I retake it, killing Kyra there.
The plan: all-in buying, demonizing, collecting 4 Hives, assembling the Angelic Feather, and attacking the opponent within a week. I'm counting on an average army of 7 Angels, 45 Efreet Sultans, 60-70 Hives, 250 Horned Demons, 100 Magogs, 45 Pits under Angelic Feather. I'm expecting 1500 Skeletons though, but my battle stats of 44 20 vs 17 17 there. I have the Red Orb...
But as it turned out, the opponent had no control at all, leading to a surrender. GG.
Game of the first round.
P.S. The mother here is, of course, Ciele, not Sylvia.
Thank you for the game!
