Bought a town for 2800 and a color for 1400. Randomed the starting hero and got Müllich :D :cool: And Wings for Castle :smile52: :smile20: Opp didn't restart. We played the very first matchup right away. Though one direction was completely blocked by 50-99 Silver Pegasi. Saw Conflux and Hive. There was also an external market, so I built Portal of Glory on 115 and went to fight. But Müllich leveled like an idiot. Okay, Tactics and Air are fine. But then it gave Wisdom on 6 - I refused. For that I got a choice between crappy Navigation and Ballistics. Garbage . . . Then I leveled all that trash and got Wisdom on 12. Question! And why did I have to act like a smartass??? Mm? Later I got Armor and Offense with Earth, but that was in the center, and at home I had to break a Dragon Utopia 10-19 without Offense, Earth (not even spells like Stone Skin or Shield, only Mass Haste) and without Armor. Even stats 14 9 didn't help much. Because I FAILED HORRIBLY!!!! I had a lot of shooters: 100+ Archers, 11 Swordsmen, 12 Monks, 7 Angels and all that against a double Dragon Utopia. When I saw the Dragon Utopia 10-19 I thought: "AHAHA EASY UTOPIA!!!" Relaxed with a beer after the move of the Golems that crashed into some mud, I press Wait with Angels after Mass Haste, like "eat this, shooters, you idiots." And those bastards jump on the Angels!!!! First 2 Black Dragons remove the retaliation, and then the Green Dragons also hit . . .:smile35: I shielded from the Red Dragons, but that didn't help because they kept eating them!!! Result: lost all shooters, lost 4 ANGELS!!! CARL! 4 ANGELS!!!! But the Monks are intact!:smile51: At that moment I lost my cool, considering the fact that the Dragon Utopia also gave me total garbage artifacts: Boots of Resist, Crown +4 SP +4 Knowledge, Shield of the Dead from AOTD, and Orb of Dissipation. I just got scattered across the monitor. . . Anyway, after that disgrace I found another Conflux for 1 Angel, a Hive for 12 Monks and Boots for MS. And I broke into the center with Crag Hack. On hard negative morale I somehow managed to also lose Archangels. There were three of them left . . . On 125 I sat in the central town (Inferno), picked up a Box for 12 Efreeti and 2 Hives: each with 6 Wyverns. Checked the external Tavern - I'm stronger in army. Well okay, I'll give it a shot - let's fight for the win! Then another box for 12 Efreeti, beat Müllich in the center, played with 2 mains. Found only one minimal Dragon Utopia with a Grail in the center. Then I jumped down and found КЗ and КВ behind a single guard of 70+ Scorpicores! :D At that moment the opponent wanted to sneak through the roadless area to a neutral respawn. But I saw his movements with scouts and trapped him with Müllich on the last moves. Pinned Crag Hack in the central town. Fought under the Grail. Opp had +3 Speed!:eek: Well, I had tons of Morale and Luck! Traded 2 Archangels and an Efreet for 11 Monks, 18 Elves, 1 Angel and 7 Silver Pegasi. Opp bought his way out to avoid a hit from 45 Wyverns. After that, VinSeras, in papal fashion, reached my central town through a prison and dropped Kyrre there. Picked up a Necklace for +3 Speed +3 Knowledge. Which I was too lazy to grab. I knew he wanted to fight with Magic. And I knew he had a Grail, which he revealed in the first Faction Base. But the opp didn't know I also had an Orb. So on my turn I attacked and the opp didn't even fight - he surrendered.
I didn't play well enough to deserve the win anyway :smile48:, throwing away units that you bargain for makes you an idiot. You can't play like that.
GG WP!
Thanks for the sweaty Jeb!
In the end, even with the opponent's losses, I didn't have many chances.
Thanks for the game!
