Took a long time to rebuild Dimension Door + got exposed again in the endgame, apparently it's incurable.
Thanks for the game!
By the end of the week I took my native town's dungeon; he had another couple of Troglodyte external dwellings and one Medusa +2 in the adjacent zone. Only 6 heroes. The buildings were very poor: just Medusas, but Alamar got Earth Magic and leveled it up, though without Slow.
On week 2 I took the center, found a good mage—Nagash with Earth Magic. At home a level 4 mage guild with a Genie; Nagash relearned resources and farmed 240 skeletons + claimed the Golden Bow.
Week 3 day 1 - Took Conflux in the other center, 2 boxes of 30 normal fish + 30 unusual ones :D Guild level 5 gave Dimension Door immediately :smile03:
Week 3 day 2 - Alamar took the Castle town. Moved the army across half the map, from there Nagash jumped to the Dragon Utopia revealed in a treasure zone. It was a minimum-roll one with an Admiral's Hat.
Week 3 day 4 - In the opponent's adjacent zone, a level 3 Griffin Conservatory and a Cyclops stockpile.
Week 3 day 5 - A scout hero from Blue took Nagash's artifact and the resource pile on him, and that's all that was left; after 2 Dimension Doors Alamar takes a corner village from the opponent, and from there Nagash attacks the scout with the resources, there's +2 speed and an instant buyout for 30k+. Along the way I set up a chain for the Bracers and place a scout near the mountain in the center to grab the main via a jump.
Week 3 day 6 - I took the main (there isn't even a level 1 mage guild... Carl!? :confused: ). Claimed the Bracers, and from Blue's village Nagash jumps into a treasure zone to the presumed 2 Dragon Utopias.
Week 4 day 1 - There turned out to be just one Dragon Utopia with a Gladius. Then Alamar goes into another treasure zone. I placed Angels. Stats around 20-10-10-10 vs 18-19-28-18 for Elshar.
Week 4 day 4 - Elshar comes running on foot for his main. Meanwhile I'm building Archangels and planning to go into another treasure zone.
Week 4 day 5 - Elshar rebuilt to Dimension Door after all and takes the central Conflux. I rebuild the level 4 mage guild hoping for Armageddon and get it; according to plan I'd like to Armageddon someone and finish off with Nagash. In the end I handle it not very carefully, leaving my Castle exposed, which Elshar can likely reach with 2 Dimension Doors.
Week 4 day 6 - Elshar could indeed reach the Castle, and if he had taken it and built Archangels, I'd be in serious trouble, but he got distracted by a Ring of Health and scout hero Malkeeta, who was near the Castle next to a Library on a site with Archangels, probably thinking it was a hero with a resource pile, since only the hero's faction was visible from the observation point, while the tavern showed Sephinroth. In the end he killed Malkeeta and stayed on his spot, just exposing himself. I couldn't pass that up; I claimed the Fire Power artifact with Nagash, accidentally grabbed a max-level Griffin Conservatory on the Castle's respawn, and after an Armageddon dealing 1090 damage from Alamar, almost nothing was left there. I attacked with Nagash wielding Shackles of War and Blackshard of the Dead Knight; didn't kill in one round—there were 112 Earth Elementals summoned.
To break my own ballista, I had to use Armageddon :smile51: then kill the Earth Elementals through Blind.
Thank you for the game!
