After all the resets spent on Clavius, I decided to play it safe and took Tanta, who essentially did 80% of the work.
My towns: Fortress, Inferno, Conflux. Opponent's: Castle, Dungeon, Barbarian.
Fast roads, stables under the Castle. Have Septienna, Mullich, Dessa, and some weak heroes. On 112, after 2 treasure chests, Tanta has expert Necromancy.
The tempo was good; by the end of the week, I took all the opponent's towns + the external Efreet dwelling under the Inferno town with their own upgrade, and Lich houses at home. Tanta + Wisdom and Advanced Earth. Mullich + Luck, Earth, Wisdom, Tactics. Dessa is doing well for now :smile12:
121 - Tanta with 250+ Skeletons takes a level 3 Griffin Conservatory, Dessa breaks into the first underground treasure zone.
The army rotates like a boomerang between 2 treasure zones; thankfully, with fast roads and no logistics issues, everything is transferred very quickly, and by 124 Mullich already has Offense and is level 12, while Dessa has Air, Offense, and the Sentinel's Shield recovered from the Monks.
On 124, I take down a level 3 Dragon Utopia with Tanta's 400 Skeletons and the Sentinel's Shield. It gives two water artifacts and sandals :confused: :eek:
Looks like there's another Dragon Utopia in the same treasure zone, but it's 4 days away through a Corridor. I scouted and cleared other treasure zones; one on Lava, another on Swamp. The Swamp one is completely empty: just 1 gem mine, on Lava there are a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and nothing special. Mage Guild level 5 gave Fly, level 4 is empty. I make a long chain and move towards the distant Dragon Utopia, meanwhile rebuilding the Mage Guild.
127 - rebuilt Mage Guild level 4, it's empty. Mullich learned Fly, but can't fly over the Corridor. Gritting my teeth, I move on.
On 131, Kyrre, with almost no stats and a small army of 50 Grand Elves, 7 Unicorns, etc., and full control, takes my main town from me, and through an equally insane Gundula also takes Conflux, while I have stats around 20 and a much larger army.
By 133, I found another Dragon Utopia there; one has Wings, the other has КВ. With control, I take my towns back; from another rebuild in Conflux, I get Town Portal. Mullich, Tanta, Dessa - all have Earth + are equipped with other weak heroes. And literally a couple of days later, stats around 20, 10+ Sultan Efreets, 50+ Monks, 600+ Skeletons, I take Ramp and Dungeon with the papa heroes, and from there, through scouting, I catch up to Kyrre with Dessa. Her army is much smaller, and the blue player surrenders.
Thank you for the game!
