Started at -1700. We played without a respawn, although on 112 I realized I was completely blocked in 2 directions, I thought for a long time about taking a respawn, but because of Gunnar I couldn't do it, plus a Griffin Conservatory was visible behind the block and a factory near the town. On 117 giants in the castle.

I took the dungeon computer and scouted his 2nd Conservatory, which Aislin took with a 200+ meteor and 60 mana on 122. On the same day I attacked 50-99 corsairs in the dungeon's treasure zone with Gunnar, for +1 Perception and a mini Dragon Fly Hive, where the angel and giant died (the angel could have been saved). I still had moves left to run along the road, gain a bit of experience, and then another 50-99 corsairs were waiting, blocking the village. I decided not to pick a fight with them, but instead to break one of the blocks on the respawn and take the computer's castle. On 127 I got angels with the castle.

On 132 I burst into the castle treasure zone, which turned out to be small but contained 2 Dragon Fly Hives of size 18, 2 chests of 25k experience, a +12 Shield, and KZ. At the same time, Aislin on serpents destroyed a GO into the super-treasure-zone elevator of giants without GS. On the other side were mighty liches; I didn't touch them but rode further towards the Conservatory and the computer's info. Gunnar teleported to the liches. In the treasure zone, he immediately activated a Control scroll — Dimension Door and rode to the end. The road wasn't very long, but the treasure zone was big; there was a choice on 136 to capture the opponent's capital or delve deeper into the treasure zone. I thought for a long time and eventually chose the first option, even doing a double mana and spending the night at his place — after all, there was KZ, an explosion of 1.5k with the orb, 200 mana. On 137 I picked up a Dragon Utopia in the dungeon treasure zone, with KV, KSh, and ChSh. I made 7 archers and spent the night there. On my turn, the opponent surrendered.

P.S. Took the boots on the last day.


Classic Mini-Nosta. Entered the first treasure zone on day 127 — nothing there. Then went into the second, also nothing. There was meat, but no stats, no control. I wasted one day. Would have defended the capital, meaning the finale would have been in the castle. Instead, I ended up cut off, nothing left to catch there. I chose the wrong strategy for the game. Decided to play without one computer, meaning quickly take 2 computers and their treasure zones. And there wasn't a single Dragon Utopia, no money, no stats either. As it turned out, I only had 2 Dragon Utopias total. One had a Sword +5 All on the respawn of the farthest third computer, Flax, and one in his treasure zone. Air control was in the last treasure zone, very far deep in the corridor. All the treasure zones were roughly the same size, not very convenient, and useless. There was also a Shield +4 All in the first treasure zone, but by the law of this game, it was also in a small corridor that I hadn't scouted. So I scouted 80% of the treasure zone, but didn't take the only top-tier artifact in it. Nila, however, leveled up perfectly, but overall this is a bust, not a game.
