Nobody took any restarts.
Day 1, turn 1: I break into the Gunnar prison, ~150 Troglodytes! I reveal a minimal Griffin Conservatory off the road, send the miner there.
Day 1, turn 2: Angel on the fool along the road, past the Teleport and the Hive for ~50 crush.
Day 1, turn 3: The fool breaks the prison with Jaelar [Water Expert], has a Bless scroll.
Day 1, turn 4: Jaelar with Bless takes an external Creature Dwelling for 40+ growth of Dendroid Soldiers, a Dragon from the Portal, the miner beats a Pit Fiend stack, a [Dragon] Fly Hive is guarded, another Griffin Conservatory is revealed above the road.
Day 1, turn 5: We dive into the Teleport, the fool reaches the Castle, and the miner takes an external Angel dwelling and a chest for ~50 Basilisks with Haste on 25 Pit Fiend stacks, another Griffin Conservatory is revealed, Jaelar reaches the Castle village via the lift and reveals yet another Griffin Conservatory.
Day 1, turn 6: The Pit Fiends are already upgraded, the miner takes +2 Angels underground.
Day 1, turn 7: Jaelar takes a max Dwarf Cottage, [gets] Earth Expert for him.
Week 2: Griffin Conservatories above ground, I buy more, eat the [Dragon] Fly Hive and dive into a one-way portal: the miner with the entire army, Gunnar on 1 Angel scouts the opponent's Dungeon, and... is 1 tile short of reaching an empty Castle and didn't kill a Lorka with army on the way! I thought I blocked her path, but she went around from above and sat down after buying more. :( Gunnar had to morale-bless, killing 15 Evil Eyes, 4 Medusas, 14 Harpies and lots of Troglodytes under Lora :eek: By the time I killed the Eyes and the Medusas ran out of ammo, the Angel was left with a sliver of health, I had to finish off 3 stacks with Wait while they gnawed on the catapult, which had ~100 HP left in the end -- luck with Morale boosts constantly worked against it.)))) The miner takes a couple of [Dragon] Fly Hives, goes to the center and reveals a Dragon Utopia, I go in on day 1, turn 6 -- without any stat artifacts at all, with base stats of 10-9 -- [it's] a two, I lose all the Harpies (45 from the chest) and almost all Troglodytes, get [Cape of] Velocity and Boots of Speed for Resist.
The miner has Expert Air, splits up into the opponent's Dungeon, and heads to the Stables, target -- the Dragon Utopia beyond the mountains in the swamp.
Week 3 -- via the most twisted chain, using Fly and dismissing a bunch of heroes, I bring the army to the miner, including all growth! It came in handy -- the Dragon Utopia was maxed, same stats as before :( They immediately killed the Archangel, nearly gnawed through the Troglodytes and also got the Angel, but didn't touch the Pit Fiends and Beholders.
Finally get stat items, but nothing combat-related -- Dragon Scale Shield and Titan's Cuirass, but also [Helm of] Heavenly Enlightenment and [Lion's Crown of] Knighthood alongside them! The miner farms the swamp, trying to level up Earth Magic, which came in as the last 8th slot, takes an external Fairy dwelling (!!!) at the end of day 3, turn 2 Earth is Advanced, we Town Portal home, Jaelar and Gunnar are on standby there, both have Expert Earth.
We burn the timer, clearing the vicinities of the towns, of which there are 8, on day 3, turn 3 the doubled miner pays a courtesy visit to the opponent, we take the villages closest to the red borders, then we buy back Gunnar, but he, after destroying a cart with Pit Lords, in an attempt to then reach Marusya, didn't break the red chain :confused: and again dumb.... mmm... Gunnar makes the same mistake -- thinks he blocked the road, but Marusya slips through a Dragon Utopia captured on the previous turn, takes out the army and goes somewhere to fight.
On the next turn I leave the opponent with only one town -- the former computer's Inferno, but that's exactly where Marusya was replenishing mana, already with Town Portal.
However, catching her with full control was a matter of a couple of days, the opponent understands this and capitulates on day 3, turn 7.
GG, thanks for the game
