Interesting game, both had very good setups.
On my first turn, I captured two secondary towns, Barbarian and Tower.
On 116, 26 gogs, 8 demons, 3 pits, 2 efreet, and single goblins barely manage to take level 15 Dwarf Cottage without losses, and everything worked out perfectly, both in terms of meat for the demon army and for gold. In the Barbarian town, I built and upgraded orcs so that 14 upgraded orcs turned into 8 demons.
On 122, I take the max Dragon Fly Hive with the loss of 4 efreet and all the skeletons, of which there were few. On 123, I take level 3 Griffin Conservatory, without mass magic, but Blind solved it, although the damned griffins, having gotten morale, ate the gogs (future demons), 1 Dragon Fly, and 5 demons. By 126, with a heap of skeletons and demons, I jump into the sandy treasure zone, where I see 2 Dragon Fly Hives. On 127, Tant appears with 250+ upgraded bones, 1-4 liches, 1-4 angels, 2060 moves from my main. On my 127, I take my Dragon Fly Hive and split my main's army, resulting in 45 demons, 19 Dragon Flies, 3 angels, and 112 bones. Seeing that without expert Logistics or Boots, Tant won't reach me, I calm down a bit. On 131, my opponent runs with Tant towards the main base, doesn't reach by 400 moves. On my 131, I split my main's army, lead a chain of troops home, buy more demons and efreet with full trade, and attack. My army: 5 efreet, 54 demons, 7 pits, 3 angels, 19 Dragon Flies, 1 imp (I decided not to take bones so as not to ruin morale). I attack and realize, my opponent has 470 upgraded bones under Tant!!! And I have no Mass Slow, only Mass Shield and CC, and an under-leveled Haste. As a result, we fought, my opponent bought back 112 bones, gifting me 108 bones, leaving me with 49 demons, 3 angels, and 19 Dragon Flies. I think about turning around and taking the Dragon Utopia on the next turn. But my opponent surprises me by taking my Tower with a scout hero and buying out Tant there, then goes to necro in the snows :eek:. Well, after that it was simple, I transfer the army to Gurni, he takes the Tower, unfortunately there was no Air Scout with maxed Air Magic, I had to explore, but Tant hadn't fled far and was on 2 gargoyles. Split setup, angels on singles, Mass Haste - GG. I look at the drop from Tant and I'm stunned, 5% Necro, 10% Necro, Shield +6, and a Ring of Speed +1 :eek:
Thanks to my opponent for an interesting game.
