[ТУРНИР-HotA] Beast's King

Hell's opening, of course, with 4 heroes on Jebus Cross and 10k in hand is a total disaster (I had 7). + The stadium generated some weird stuff, the road goes in a circle around the town. My road was better, but a block prevented me from breaking out to the right; I could only run in one direction or off-road. On the first day, I saw 2 Zephyrs, Shield +4 All, 2 Hydra external dwellings, a Hive and a Workshop. There should be no questions as to why it started playing well. + Tazar got Log immediately!:smile20: My main went off-road; I saw something there;) And I wasn't wrong) Because there was a Hive with 6 Vivs for 50-99 Thieves, which I took on turn 114. Then I ran towards 2 Pandoras for Nagas. But since I had just circled the castle off-road, I hit the road and found another Hive :rolleyes: Took it on 115, breaking the guard with 50+ Gogs from GS, - got another 6 Vivs:) But before I started breaking the Hive on 115, I did something crazy:D Basically, at the end of 114, Malekith had many moves left; he was already speeding up Tazar and didn't know what to do with himself:D And nearby are 50+ Lizards guarding a Fury dwelling and 2 resources. I didn't notice the third one behind the mountain:D Anyway, I attack with 8 Vivs using my zero hero (stat artifacts hadn't kicked in yet), and there are 78 Lizards with GS!!!! :eek: Just absolute F***ING HELL!!!:smile29: And 4 Vivs flew back to the Hives :smile52: :smile52: :smile52: But nevertheless, on 116 I broke 6 Naga Queens for 2 Pandoras. One had 5k Gold, and the second - 45 Upgraded Lizards:rolleyes: Immediately crashed and went via the external tavern for the Hydra external dwellings and another Hive. Took the Hive in the same turn, after breaking through 10-19 Fanatics. The Hive gave 8 Vivs :rolleyes: Also by this point I had already put Hydras in the Citadel home. On 117 I took both Hydra external dwellings, but really messed up with the chains, and it turned out that when splitting Tazar, there wasn't enough money to build the Guild :( I didn't refill my mana:smile04: That was a huge fail actually . . . And at the same time, the chain I was pulling didn't connect and didn't reach Gunnar, so he didn't go for the Zephyr . . . Had to break another block; there wasn't enough money in the Chest for the guild((( Needed 2000)) Basically, I botched this turn. Usually, I count moves during the opponent's turn so this kind of shit doesn't happen, but here there was no time because we were playing with OH (up to 117 inclusive). And on 121 Tazar with 11 Mana ran towards ГО :D And the road is long))) Took 3 days :smile54: On the way, I actually stumbled once with Tazar to break a +2 Speed cloak for 10-19 Pit Lords and picked up +2 Attack. In the time he was running, I grabbed 2 Zephyrs (6+4) for 10 Cyclops, broke 42 Sea Priestesses with GS using Gunnar for a shield +4 All. Also found another Hive. Since I was already running with Monarchs, after taking the Hive I needed to upgrade these Vivs. So I set up the chain so that on 124 the Vivs were passed back to the Main and back again, and then Tazar with full acceleration broke ГО. Used all Heroes except Taz for this))) A key point, besides the lack of mana, was also that Tazar hit Water on the 4th and 8th levels. Basically, I didn't take any Element. I had no Offense before ГО either)) Expert Wisdom, expert Log, and advanced Pathfinder:D So only my Resp artifacts could save me), 27 Monarchs, 10 Cyclops, 65 Lizards, 5 Hydras, 7 Cows, and Dragonflies. Stats 10/14 and -3 Luck:rolleyes: On 124 I broke a double ГО. Here is the first (after which I got basic Offense):

Here is the second (after which I got basic Earth):

From magic, I only spent Bless on Ducks in these 2 battles)) Must say that against ГО -3 Luck practically didn't work)) 4 mana left:D After that, a nice gift from Fangarns (88 of them) was waiting for me in the treasure zone—for a Pandora they gave 15 Cyclops Kings!:smile49: And in the same turn I took Dragon Utopia-three, giving up the remaining Lizards and 3 Cyclops there. Here is what I got:

On 125 I took a Hive for 8 Vivs and a Zephyr for 6 Cyclops, picked up an Imply scroll :rolleyes:, but the key point was that I pushed the opponent out of the center 5 seconds before the end of the turn))) I had more armies and stats. Luckily, there was almost no mana there either. On 126 I took КВ, which I used to push Hell away by breaking 25 Sea Serpents, took a Biblo, another Zephyr for 6 Cyclops, and captured the central town, where I stayed for mana refill and expertized Earth, right after capturing the town on the last move :D :D :D On 127 I bought back the pushed Gunnar and Sefinrot with advanced Air, checked where the opponent was using КВ; I didn't understand at all what he was doing behind my back in the treasure zone???? :eek: :smile21: Then I broke Septienna and Moandor into the central town. HURRAY I learned BUTTER!!!:smile52: :smile54: And there is even an overview in the treasure zone! LOL? HotM devs, why don't you just put a well in the Jebus Cross treasure zone too:smile40: Anyway, on 127 I took back the Red Orb, another Hive for 6 Vivs, took 2 Boxes and a Shield +3 Off +3 Def for 35 Sea Serpents, but only picked up one box. There are 35 orcs there))) In the same turn I attacked Draikon and pushed him. In time pressure, I forgot to put on the Imply scroll . . . But on his 127 Hell surrenders.

GG WP!

PS: Hell had a TP scroll and wings from Resp.
