Something, I almost flooded here :D
In short, we started after two rests of the opponent and one of mine on the block.
On 111 I revealed the scout. On the respawn there are two hives, 3 roads. A village on the neighboring zone is already visible along one road. Somewhere nearby there should be the native computer, but it won't be reached :D. Starting army without elves, but there is an external market. Respawn is on the edge of the map and quite large. In general, tolerable, we play.
On 112 I took max crypt, and Kira got earth. Well, definitely need to play.
On 113 I took a village and an Inferno computer. No road to the native ramp.
The computer dies against the Castle, on 114 I find a passage to the needed grass off-road. I decide to run there. The movement turned out to be negative. The scouting in the end didn't go far, and it turned out to be too far to the computer's Castle.
Found a Griffin Conservatory with a stable there on 116, on 117 another Griffin Conservatory, and took an external dwelling of dendroids. Quite a lot of money came in + the external market helped out, so I built horses with the Castle and dwarf growth, and in Inferno - 1-4 in the Citadel.
On 121 I checked one Griffin Conservatory. 2-4, not good. From the stable I break through to the street clues, buy a spell book. Only leather is given... Dessa with the Inferno army broke through the portal to the next zone. A convenient scout there shows the opponent's dangerous proximity. And the zone is good, 5 street clues, Pandoras + an alternative exit to the Griffin Conservatories.
On 122 I took two street clues under the Castle, 12+4, stood under the break. All resources are exchanged, gold is tight. The opponent on their turn moves towards that scout with a scout and an angel. Nearby there is another scout with 3 black knights.
123 - nothing to be done, I go to chase them away. Along the way I took another street clue for 8 wiverns. Both heroes retreat, the angel didn't get wiped. I plan to run to the Griffin Conservatories.
Then Clavius appeared.
124 - it was inconvenient to attack with the lich, according to the army it doesn't seem particularly impressive: 250+ skeletons, 1-4 angels, those same 3 BKs and single skeletons. My stats are higher, but only 11 mana points. Well, so what, I have 24 wiverns. We attack.
For some reason the skeletons turn out to be 420, and the angels 4 :D Plus +1 speed. And I, like a loser, with expert earth, but without slow and shield.
In the army, besides the wiverns, I have 21 elves, 22 gogs, 6 unicorns, a dozen pegasi, 30 centaurs, 6 logs, a tent and a catapult.
In short, in the battle everyone dies :smile08: The opponent retreats with a couple dozen skeletons and an angel. I have 7 elves, pegasi, gogs, 1 unicorn and 7 demons left, which didn't participate in the battle.
Probably, I should have killed the angel at any cost. On the other hand, it's good that I survived at all :D
Next I think I'll go to the native computer anyway.
On 125 I advance off-road, and very successfully. I didn't reach the town, one more day was needed, but I visited a garden +1 knowledge, replenished mana at the well to 60, took +2 attack at the arena and covered the computer's main army.
Besides, I leveled up Dessa a bit and freed the native hero with a small number of centaurs and dwarves.
Clavius, however, is impatient to get another beating from Kira :D He runs at me...
I have to give up on the computer, break, return the army and attack. There - 100 skeletons, 4 liches, 6 vamps, an angel.
I, of course, won the battle thanks to the shooter at 90 and the nasty catapult, but I ended up with 8 gogs, 4 demons, 8 centaurs and 1 dwarf :D The opponent retreated with an angel and a lich.
And on the opponent's turn I made two catastrophic mistakes. First, Clavius attacked me with 7 zombies. I somehow thought he would run away anyway, and didn't kill him. Although I could have. And then Nagash attacked. I somehow thought he wouldn't kill me anyway, even if he suddenly built GM2 and got a wave there, but that was a miscalculation :D If he had a shooter, I'd most likely have been wiped out. But there was no shooter :D
This attack completely finished the Necro economy, so further on it would be hopeless (I would have brought some small units, and there was more than 10k gold), and the opponent understands this.
Thank you for the game.
