On day 1 I build birds and take the gloves with 55 archers. The fun ended there. The first week was basically survival, I fought very few battles. We were playing with swapping one-sideders, so I mostly focused on collecting free stuff. Dess by week 1 was still level 1. I tried to take the native Conflux player's town through a no-road path by cunningly breaking through a road guard with a bear build, but that bastard blocked my chain. However, I somehow managed to take his main from the other side on day 121. Eventually I scraped together enough at home for bears in the Castle with a thousand.
On the second week Dess and "3 bears" started breaking through some guards, I ran to the corner town. There was a block of monks and several chests behind guards too strong for me.
In general, by the end of the week I found 2(!!!) Dimension Door scrolls, but I simply didn't have a single crystal to start building a Mage Guild. On day 131 Labetha arrived with an army without nagas, just hats and mages, but 11 spell power.
I had no choice but to give her Conflux, while I myself went through the stables on the Conflux respawn to finish off towns and chests.
Dess ate a couple of chests worth 10k experience, had a perfect level-up (Earth, Defense, Air, Tactics, Intelligence, Offense). A chest of 15 behemoths, all level 3 magic. By the end of the week I was planning to split my army and go take the blue Tower with a presumed Mage Guild. But then Labetha herself ran to my respawn with 100 hats, 18 stone golems, mages, and chaff, but with stats 0-13-15 (87). I was just about to split Dess, I split her, brought the money, and with Tactics and Mass Haste I attacked (I had 9 yellow birds, 15 behemoths, 10 Wyverns, 3 angels, and 1+12 ogres) and stats 9-10-10 (280). I wiped out almost everything, there was a summon of fire elementals (45 of them). I cast Anti-Magic on the angels, then Armageddon and escape.
Besides the angels, only 3 behemoths survived, and a scout hero on singles came to finish them off.
On day 141, Dess with 3500 movement points walks through a portal on foot to the Tower main (Labetha was defeated in Conflux). There is a level 3 Mage Guild there. I have enough resources, I upgrade the Mage Guild to level 5 and attack Labetha with 2 Dimension Doors, who had set up cunningly (4 fire elementals + pairs of fairies + 4 fire elementals). Basic Offense and 9 attack were enough for 2 angels to kill 4 fire elementals evenly, I finished another with Ice Bolt, and the singles with birds and gargoyles.
Thank you for the game!
I forgot this was a camper template and over-tempoed at the start by almost a hundred gremlins... Then I recovered, ran on no-road paths, then foolishly rushed into Conflux, the cunning Fire changed his ways and didn't build the tower there. This mistake cost me the tempo and in the end I didn't have Armageddon for victory, plus I bought too little money at the end (although Fire_Birds were lying in ambush), and the angels killed the fire elementals exactly.
Thank you for the game.
