There are three 111, I got the lizard spawn, decided on 2 gnolls, the roads seemed okay, didn't want to test the generator, so we played. On 112 a log came in, 29 lizards deal decent damage, lots of gold and resources on the respawn, even considered hydras. Then things got worse, from the portal two roads: one into a corner with a secondary dungeon, the other to the exit of a one-way portal, but there's also an off-road path to another zone, and there's a clue and a portal. Decided to take the secondary with Taz and double the mana, and rush to the clue and portal by 117. When around 115 I seemed to reveal red flags in that direction, fortunately the clue's guard blocked the road path, so the opponent didn't spread out much there. On 117 Taz boosted to 1000 MP from the clue because there was nowhere else to run, just a corner with one distant clue — not an option at all. In short, no need to think, the question was whether he would take that clue or not on 121, but when I opened the overview in that zone, I realized Alex had already checked it long ago and could see everything, so I sent the meatshield back to the noob, and moved Taz forward with three snakes and 2 mages. On 121 it's clear — the clue is taken, minus two mages and the folder buyout, though I managed to kill 2 ducks with a teapot + shooter. On my 121 full trade, full buyout, and nearly zero Indra with 49 lizards, 5 ducks, 10 wasps and 80 gnolls, he dismantles Brokhild, the terrain and +1 speed allowed me to play almost without losses, there were 1+3 ducks, 18 swordsmen, under 40 pikemen — result: he fled. Then I went to take the castles, GG.
Thanks for the game.
P.S. Killing Tazar and two noobs is not surprising and even expected, but the fact that without killing them, I was 141 MP short of the meatshield is a failure.
Transl this quiet horror, where the spawn was so bad I felt like vomiting the entire game, such poverty on 160% I probably never had in my life... In the end, I survived the whole week on 10 archers, 30 pikemen and 6 griffins, then managed to buy 4 medusas, killed the computers... Finally by 117 I managed to gather enough cash for a buyout and taking 2 hives, but first I placed a pointless citadel for 1-4 for some reason, then later changed the plan for no reason and went to kill noobs on flies and got caught by a big growth with decent artifacts and bless... In short, I handled my shitty start pretty well, but then killed it all myself — what a loser... Thanks for the game!
