"THE ROAD TO OLYMPUS"

We played, naturally, with a rollback. But the spawns were rather weak and all without elves. This one was no exception, so I had to play through upgrading Centaurs (about 50 of them). Along the way, a stable and Moandor is there, but little gold.
At first there were only 4-5 heroes, by the end of the week I managed to earn a bit, capture +4 attack, take the Conflux village and build horses in the Citadel. Moandor, meanwhile, got expert Necromancy at level 3 and raised 90 skeletons from necromancy + I luckily managed to take the brown Dungeon, where 2k income was built :smile12:
Then I did some necromancy, took the Dragon Fly Hive at 8, found Devil in a refuge. Then I bought Kyrre Earth for a Griffin Conservatory 3-4 and frantically tried to max it, giving up Offense and Armor (which, by the way, decided the game :smile29: )
Also found +1 Speed and Gauntlets
On day 125 an unpleasant encounter happened, in the adjacent zone of brown there was Monere with 5+ Angels, herding a Dragon Utopia, but apparently - an uncleared one! Monere the next turn simply on birds cut down my carelessly exposed Moandor. I was about to surrender, but on a whim with a power stack, after driving Monere away, I ran through some kind of lift + portal and with the last move of a low-level hero reached the green Necromancer :eek: , of course with an Amplifier. There I buy another Necromancer with a basic skill set, take the Dwarf Cottage + Haspids with him, and well, a counterattack plan begins to take shape :smile14:
On day 126 Kyrre with the main army takes Griffin Conservatory level 3 and targets the Dragon Utopia, while she is not visible, and apparently, blue thinks I am incapable of this :D
On day 127 I even had the chance to check the Dragon Utopia - level 3! 300 skeletons, 3 Angels, 5 horses, 8 Wyverns and captains with Kyrre 7-14 smash the Dragon Utopia to splinters, true, without Shield (only Stone Skin). 200 skeletons and 3 Angels survived, but it gave decent loot:




On his turn Sandro with a power stack chases me away, because I had neither mana nor decent magic, I simply paid him off with Tactics.
Then I went into a big treasure zone on the lava in the underground. There a max Dragon Utopia: killed 2 Angels, horses and 60 skeletons. But it gave useful items in return:


On days 135-136 my Sraker took the Conflux village and the main town. But I got clearly lucky and in the Dungeon I built GM5, which gave Dimension Door on the first try. I break out from the treasure zone with Kyrre, she has Air, breaks out and also jumps into another treasure zone in the sands. There immediately in a box all the Earth magic :smile13: In a couple of days I cleared the main things in the treasure zone: 2 Dragon Utopias and several Hives, got 44 Faerie Dragons, and also found on the ground:


Useful loot from the Dragon Utopias: and


After this I jumped around to finish clearing the treasure zone on the lava, and up until now the game was played with one hero :confused: There, although the work was done through Sraker, Sandro and Monere, it didn't cause much inconvenience. I still controlled 3-4 castles, which was quite enough for me.
So Kyrre cleared the treasure zone on the lava in a couple of days, taking several Hives and 4 Dragon Utopias. The long-awaited All3 for Haven never came, instead a bunch of useless artifacts, not even another pair of Boots, +2 Speed or Bracers.
In another Dragon Utopia I later found a Cuirass of 4-4, and my stats were always higher than Monere's. I also had 100+ Faerie Dragons, 600 skeletons, and there +10 Archangels, but only a lot of Faerie Dragons and completely without skeletons.
From the second month I quite quickly leveled Gunnar, who arrived on day 145, but was still level 1 on day 147. I bought him Air in addition to Earth, and also added Piguedram as a support with 2 Dimension Doors. I couldn't create anyone else useful.
In general, I started heavily power-stacking, luckily my opponent didn't particularly interfere with me. I took 3 Inferno computer towns, built Devils there, and also took 2 of their external dwellings in the same treasure zone on the lava. I wasn't ready to engage in contact, because the stats that had dropped were quite readable as Curse + Armor of the Damned
Towards the end of the first week of month 2 I finally found the only Swamp village on the map, and there was also a Library with a couple of Conservatories and a Cape of Speed... mmm :smile20:
In general, the conveyor belt for producing skeleton-demons and all sorts of other devils :smile51: worked quite reliably and at the beginning of the second month Monere finally left the Castle and I managed to upgrade 7 Archangels. Seeing my power stack and how precisely I started to take his castles from him (at the same time I killed his support heroes with Arch Devil armies) Zhenya realized that I wouldn't get tired of power-stacking, and surrenders.

+ another 50-70 unprocessed demons



Thank you for the game!
Well, to put it mildly, it wasn't my best game, the setup allowed me to finish as early as the 3rd week, but for some reason I decided to start with a different Dragon Utopia on day 126 (also level 3 but a failure in artifacts), and I also planned to take the Dragon Utopia Vanya took on day 127... but red explained to me all my wrongdoings. Then in 3 days I broke 2 more max Dragon Utopias and one level 1, losing almost everything except Angels and birds, but my stats still remained lower than Vanya's after his 1st Dragon Utopia and also no magic protection whatsoever. Then again I apparently misjudged priorities - I understood that I needed to take the Conflux village, and through it the main town, which was closest to two super-treasure zones on the snow, but why I didn't try to spend another day taking the remaining towns I don't know, I got fixated on the thought that I needed to frantically search for stats or magic protection (Kyrre there was already shining with SP close to 30 I think, while mine was 15).
Thank you for the game.
