thank you for the game!
From the chronicle: a bloody war was raging; ever since the king ascended the throne, everyone wanted to overthrow him and rule alone on the surface and underground. First there were two wars with the elves, in which the forces of the mountain dwellers and necromancers managed to achieve victory in the greatest battle. This time our enemy was even more formidable. The very forces of nature rose against us; our fallen soldiers rose before our eyes and went to fight against us. There was no place for us on the land; even the air was saturated with burning fury and incredible all-encompassing power. Our enemy's name is Edward the Dark, master of the elements and commander of the army of darkness.
Our king was forced to seek allies among the lords of the dungeons, the Lords.
The Lords are the sole rulers of all inhabited lands: neither gods nor sorcerers can command them. Any lord is born to rule; the lust for power is the main property of their nature and their only true passion. You are incredibly lucky to be one of them: it means the world belongs to you, not you to the world.
A very poor start with -4500, a couple stacks of Troglodytes on Shakti, but Harpies were built, and with their upgrade I decided to play. Which I regretted literally a couple of days later.
In general, there’s not much to describe about the first week. Somehow I recruited 6 heroes, Medusae at home in the Fort with a Market, from which I regularly traded :confused:
I colored the external dwellings of Beholders and Troglodytes. I didn’t reach any castles due to strong guards.
At the beginning of the second week, I checked the Griffin Conservatory, it was level 3; if it had been level 2, I would have saved 5 days of tempo. But as it was, I had to split back home and go into a Naga Bank level 4 because of a complete lack of money.
Army: 150 Troglodytes and 14 Beholders. Morale in the first round, and I barely took it with the loss of 64(!) Troglodytes.
Looking ahead, it’s worth noting that our Dark friend’s affairs were going pretty "Jebus-like"))) By day 117, Galthran with Vidomina had stuffed 200+ bones and took 3 Griffin Conservatories levels 1-2-3 :eek: :smile20:
The next few days I frantically cleared various stacks with small guards and through Shakti’s Mage Guild with Wisdom I moved towards the ill-fated Griffin Conservatory.
With 23 Beholders, 8 Medusae, and 80+ Troglodytes, I somehow managed the Griffin Conservatory, losing some Troglodytes and a few Medusae. Then the baton passes to Luna :eek: Yes, yes, we had a Luna, but there was no opportunity to apply her skills due to the lack of leveling and good guards.
She immediately gets Resistance from a Scholar and ruins her skill progression for ages :smile04:
By day 131 I took a Necropolis village and a Castle company. There, the Town Hall and Monks in the Castle, I built Stables and ran to the treasure zone.
Days 132-133: took 3 Dragon Fly Hives (20 Wyverns), Gauntlets. Shakti + Armorer, Scouting, Wisdom. Luna + Expert Water Magic and Scouting. And then from the side of the brown Necromancer, HE appears, yes, yes, it was him, in all his glory, Edward the Dark himself with his retinue and commander-in-chief, Galthran.
From the chronicle: the scout brought bad news.
- My lord, hordes of darkness of Edward the Dark are advancing on us from the surface. Dozens of swamp creatures, hundreds of skeletons, elves from the last game, and even angels. What are your orders, my lord?
- I am Shakti, now we will move to that volcano over there and gut the dragon lair, and with the relics obtained we will give battle to this Edward... the Black.
- The Grim, my lord!
- You dare to jest, serf, in such a difficult situation for us. Off with his head! :smile48:
Day 134 - entered the treasure zone, there was a Dragon Utopia, few army and stats, decided to take it next turn. At home, Mage Guild level 4 with Meteor Shower. On his turn, Galthran enters the treasure zone and freezes at a safe distance from the Dragon Utopia.
Day 135 - while our troops were fighting the wondrous creatures, Edward watched it all from a safe distance; when the dragons were finished,
and 
were found at the site of their remains.Shakti smiled, greatly admiring the new hat. And then he opened an ancient chest, poured out gold and handed it to Galthran :D 20k and ran home on Tactics. At home, his wife Adelaide was waiting, oh, a beauty :smile03:
She fed him, gave him money, army, took it all, and flew off to break the Dragon Fly Hive and head to another Dragon Utopia.
The next few days Galthran hung around in the treasure zone. Adelaide checked the home Dragon Utopia - it was level 3. Scary...
- How can a woman do a man's work? Daddy will come and handle it soon, - Shakti retorted.
Adelaide silently obeyed, and while the Lord slowly moved towards the Dragon Utopia, the army was redirected towards another revealed Hive and Griffin Conservatory. Both were maximum level :cool:
On the next, the last day of this week, Shakti went to fight the winged ones again, but this time on his own territory. This time everything was much easier and they gave:
Not that the Lord was overjoyed, but he loved hats, and in his joy he threw a Sunday feast and, drunk, spent the entire treasury and built Angels in the Castle.
To be continued...
