Opp took 2 res, I took three, Laura came in, 80 Peasants total, lucky with fat guards at the start and the Miner leveled up quickly after getting Earth. Average roads and two treasure zones, others through portals with no road. In the native treasure zone, there's an immediate block to the village for a Dragon Fly Hive dwelling + 2 campfires with 50+ Master Gremlins, in the other a Water book, 3 Dragon Fly Hives scattered, though there's a Dragon Utopia behind Firebirds in the op. Also scouting a level 3 Griffin Conservatory, 2 boxes with 20+ Master Gremlins and 50+ Orc Chieftains. Shakti barely gets Earth to the 5th day and I decide to take the box with Master Gremlins, already found Oil and Bless, but forgot to buy the book, and half the Troglodytes were eaten along with 7 Evil Eyes, there were 49 Master Gremlins, and in the box 20 Air Elementals. I buy the book and on day 117 the guard for the external dwelling falls, and the dwelling itself has 2 portals. Meanwhile, Tazar is operating in the rear, who on day 117 takes the box with Orcs — that's 45 Harpies, a level 20 Dwarf Cottage, and heads for the first Beehive. Leveling started poorly, but Earth came as the 3rd skill.
On day 121 I bought everything and built chains, on the 2nd day took two Beehives with 12 Dwarves and a level 3 Griffin Conservatory, and hauled it all to the Miner. I had enough gold left for one Scout, which I couldn't use to block the portal because I landed where the main needed to go,I had to jump on luck and the second time I flew away, straight away, to the surface to the computer's area, in short, not where I needed to go.
On his turn, the opp ran to me and surrendered due to army advantage.
Thanks for the game!
It happened. I didn't listen to smart people — ventured out from scouted territory, and there was Shakti. Shouldn't have feared the guards — should have broken through the goodies on day 121-122: +4 All, +6 All, Air Book, though the +4 All wasn't taken because the guards were Fairies. On the first, I built Haps, took two villages, only heroes max level 5, decided to level Pasus — got Log, plus Stables under the Castle... Well, it doesn't matter anymore.
Thanks for the game.
