I took all the rests, and fish came 3 times in a row :D
We sold Greenie and Ciele in the tavern, I didn't take the OP as my last one.
1st road and immediately a block of 20+ elves for a Pandora's box, luckily there's an experience pillar. There weren't that many elves, and Greenie took the entire 1st level of magic, and then immediately Expert Earth too.
I had plenty of money, so the plan was to rush right away, only I'm a noob and didn't think to properly check the roads during the scout, and chose the wrong direction. I came to the Castle computer and then dug into a dead-end village. The birds in the citadel were almost easy. On the 2nd, I started actively building the mage guild and kept trying to break through to the opponent since my army power was shown as higher. In the end, the 4th mage guild gave Resurrection, and the 5th mage guild gave Summon Fire Elemental. At the end of the week, the opponent catches me at his respawn, his stats are serious and his army is substantial. 3 Angels, 20 Dragon Utopias + Goblins. I have 5 birds, 25 air elementals, 5 psychics + small fry, I have Mass Haste and Mass Shield, for combat magic only Magic Arrow since I didn't find heroes with Bibliophile to bring Bolt.
I got hit with a Chain Lightning immediately :eek:, it minused all the air elementals, a bird, and the small fry. In response, I cast Mass Haste, took out the ballista and a couple of Dragon Utopias, and on the second round I bought them off. It seemed like a failure, but on my turn I rebuilt the 5th mage guild and got Implosion, thanks to an external tavern, the opponent's respawn and nearby split stacks, I was able to learn Implosion + Resurrection + Bolt + Blind, and return back. Now I had 2+2 birds and single units of psychics. Seeing all this, the opponent could expect a trick, but couldn't help attacking again, especially with the buyout. In the end, minus 13 Dragon Utopias, 10 wolves, and a few Goblins, I managed to take them and gave another 5k gold for the buyout. The money ran out, but now there's no main stack there and he won't take the Dragon Utopia. Scraping together from the remains of crypts, I bought more birds and psychics and went to a Treasure Chamber, where a Dragon Utopia and +5 Spell Power were already burned. After calculating, I realized that having 200+ mana thanks to Intelligence and the doubling artifact in the dungeon village, I could destroy any Dragon Utopia with 7 birds and single units without feeding. And so it happened, the level 3 Dragon Utopia fell with the loss of the single units and about 120 mana. It gave a Hat covering the entire 5th level, Titan's Plate Armor, and a 4/4 Breastplate.
Overjoyed, I rebuilt the 4th mage guild and got Town Portal :)
Next, I took another mini Dragon Utopia with +2 all, a level 2 Griffin Conservatory, and 2 mini Hives. On day 136, I upgraded 20 Peasants and bought more air elementals, after 2 Dimension Doors I take the opponent's village and plan to seize the main on day 137. My stats are higher and my meat power shows higher too. On day 137, it turns out the entire army is sitting in the main, but I have no Vision spell to see if there's a hero. It turned out to be Crag Hack, but he has 5 mana. Implosion immediately flew into 7 Angels, and the birds blocked the passage preventing the Skeletons, of which there were nearly 300, and other trash that was in the castle, from getting out. Surrender follows.
Thanks for the game!
