Andres
Auto-translated
A terribly winding road half a map from the main to the adjacent zone, and further on it's also, to put it mildly, not close to the town. As a result, my second Castle appeared only on 132, despite the Logistics and a Speed Artifact at the Tazar. True, the town itself pleased with some wild amount of Dragon Fly Hives, and further on with the Mage Guild too: it seems for the first time in all my time playing, I managed to build full control from the 1st attempt. By 135 I had gathered 80 Wyverns and took the only visible Dragon Utopia, which turned out to be a single useful Bracers. On 141 I captured the 4th town and saw that in terms of power I was behind despite 1 Angel and 85 Wyverns, which got quite sad. But then Andres apparently missed a moment where he could have crushed me, and I managed to outpower him. I attacked thinking the opponent had Armor of the Damned with a Cape, then it could have been a roughly equal fight, and I don't know in whose favor it would have ended. But it turned out there was nothing like that there.
Thanks for the game.
You can highlight a cool start – right in front of the Castle, 200 movement points away, a tree behind a pack of Monarchs blocks the only road. I really hoped for a Tech Relic, but there was a bypass – I played with 3 heroes for 4 days and ran around it through deep bushes. If not for the Dwarf Cottage – a single one – I wouldn't have built at all. In the second town I slowly got going. Then another problem popped up: not a single hero with Logistics, Walla is really the best hero, with Offense and Defense, but without Logistics, and they just wouldn't give me Earth magic. Also there was nowhere to build Watchtowers. The computers I took: Stronghold, Swamp, Towns of the same type + a Castle one. In short, at the end of the third week I took a Dragon Utopia with a Helm and another one with a Dragon Scale Shield. By the way, absolutely no stat boosts from the 2 Dragon Utopias. That was the moment when, acting a bit luckier, I could have caught Tazar. I didn't do it, and within a few days it became hopeless.
Thanks for the game!
