Boots with 112 and Gosha ;) a Dimension Door scroll on the way to the orange respawn ;) , then eventually boots were found for two more necros, I got almost all the good stuff from the Dragon Utopia, didn't let the opponent build up their Mage Guild etc. Thanks for the game!
Along the way, I found scrolls of Resurrection and Summon Earth Elemental. Tamika, with double mana, took down a third-level Dragon Utopia in two rounds, which dropped a Vial of Lifeblood. At home, I got Fly and Implosion in Magic Guild level 5, along with a lot of miscellaneous troops, but I never managed to assemble a strong stack.
In the end, I caught the enemy Tanta on a single unit, and my opponent surrendered.
Thank you for the game! 1-1

Tamika entered, quickly got Earth Magic. Immediately took an external dwelling of genies and fairly easily broke through everything on the map, the road led to a one-way path, but that didn't cause problems, overall it was even convenient. At the start of week 2 I took 2 Dragon Fly Hives for 10 Wyverns with Tamika, killed the Dungeon computer opponent and broke through to the village with a Dragon Utopia.
On the way I found a Resurrection scroll and Summon Earth Elemental. Tamika with double mana in 2 attempts took down a level 3 Dragon Utopia, gave me a Chalice of Power. At home in GM5 (Grand Master 5) there was Fly and Implosion, lots of miscellaneous meat, but I never assembled a strong stack.
In the end I caught the enemy's Tante on a single unit, the opponent surrendered.

I sold the castle very well. Got a good amount of army, even 33 gogs. On the first week I took all the computers, found two Griffin Conservatories. On the second week I started demoning with all my might (poorly), took the conservatories, set up GM5 (specifically took a Tower computer, but built in Inferno) and broke into the treasure zone. The underground treasure zone turned out to be very inconvenient with a long road, but I found boots. Otherwise, the treasure zone was empty. But! Funny fact: there were 3 quest artifacts lying nearby that needed to be brought to my respawn. On day 127 I returned to the castle, turned in the quests and got 35 fire elementals, 50 earth elementals and 5 firebirds :smile54: From the rebuild I got Town Portal, flew to another treasure zone, picked up artifacts for stats, doubled my mana. With good stats, army and a ton of mana, I was about to hit the GO, but surrender arrived. A big rollback prevented me from properly developing. Thanks for the game.
P.S.: The game recording is still available at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/153107002
Instead of Jebus Cross, I took a completely unpredictable mininosta. I lost at the auction. Yes, the auction has been going on for a year, but it's hard to know how much to pay on which template. Essentially, I should have given Dirty the choice for 3800, and 4500, and certainly for 4800. In reality, I bought it for 5000. I tested it before the game, realized I was in deep trouble.
As for the game, there was a pain — few heroes, a swamp running around with 112 with 9 Vases, 10 snakes and 30 gnolls, from day 114 Bron could just take the main and end the game. The birds got stuck, I exit as a useless Tant into the treasure zone and a block of 50 medusas, turn around, I exit onto 3 into another treasure zone and 30 unicorns from Pandora's Box and GG.
Thanks for the game!
I painted 4 hydra dwellings in the early days and went to take Dragon Fly Hives. With 40+ ducks I take the max Dragon Utopia. They gave me royally: hat, teapot, КЗ, and armor.
On day 117, with monarchs I break through on quick ГО from cyclopes and sit down in the already painted ramp, where Kostya kindly bothered to build the Guild of Miners ;)
But with double mana, everything is calm.
On her turn, Laura commits suicide.
Thank you for the game!

At 117 with monarchs I break through the ГО on quick using cyclopes and sit down in an already painted ramp, where Kostya was kind enough to build a Miners' Guild ;)
But with double mana, it's all calm.

Heroically rushed from the start to the center at 117. Army: 3 dragons, 12 wivs. But decent stats (like 19-10-10-10) and oil. Immediately run into the central castle, and see a swamp respawn nearby. Mana is almost gone, the army is nothing special, I decide to move the army away and ruin Ivan's build. There was a convenient external tavern through which I was doing business at 121. Managed to grab only 1 hive on 8. Lo and behold, I attacked Broh, where the stats were already higher than mine and 40+ monarchs... Thought maybe he'd be weak with magic, so I could fight with oil and bolts. No such luck. Also КЗ... Brutal. Thank you for the game!
p.s. Vanya gave me an idea on how to buff Ufretin. The Miners' Guild should also have 5 levels! With corresponding gnome upgrades)))
Nagash got a couple of expert Necromancers on day one. Relying solely on intuition, he decided to play using them. EVERYTHING else was bad.
Leaving the starting area (!) is blocked. There are no air creatures. No ore.
There isn't even one decent hero in the starting area. No money. No mercury. The birds won't appear – no matter what. He wandered around, cutting down skeletons in the starting area, 1-6 in the fort. By the end of the first week, he managed to reach a stash of Psychics. And only at the beginning of the second week did he leave the starting area... Was it a hopeless situation? No! :smile27:
Can one Necromancer outweigh all the circumstances against you?
The autopsy showed that it couldn't. :D
By the time they met, at level 133 / final level 134, the opponent already had full control, and in the final battle, Ciel attacked Nagash, who was holed up in a border rampart-castle, wearing a blue hat, with a mana pool of 340 and speed of 9, against a mana pool of 140 and speed of 9, combat stats of 8-9 against 9-5. He had an implant of 950. I had the strongest bolt at 235, and in general, only garbage above level 2 spells.
In terms of total HP, his army is ~4000, mine is ~5000, and I had absolutely nothing to defend against his 32 ducks. But the final battle was one of those that makes you love the game.
:smile44:
To be honest, the game was hopeless. Even considering that I managed to find the only chance in the final battle, before that chance, the opponent made a series of unnecessary mistakes to give me that chance.

It's frustrating – you can play the whole game like a pro, but you only need to play like a complete noob for one turn, and everything is over. You can say that after work, playing badly happens, you can say that a tight schedule happens, but a loss is a loss.
For the game – Ciel level 14, Shachti (level 15), Grindan (level 9) – all can use full control in level 132 – re MG (2 times level 4 + 2 times level 5) – can take the whole map (there are 100 ways to win this game), but he wanted to finish the game quickly and made a fatal mistake. TFP
On 121, 20 exp to Gosha, while Tant takes КЗ. Both have Earth magic.
122 Dragon Utopia 3-tier, 400 skeletons and 20 bibs + zombies on sacrifice, they gave 4/4 attack defense and a mana helmet. After that, I burst into Op's treasure room, where he turns out to be ramping up.
Thanks for the game!

Op didn't bother resetting Gosha for me with three stacks. He and Tant together took 4 hives for 20 bibs and a Pandora's box for 20 money, in the first week.
At 121, 20 exp to Gosha, while Tant takes кз. Both have earth.
122 Dragon Utopia 3-tier, 400 skeletons and 20 bibs + zombies on sacrifice, gave 4/4 attack defense and a mana helmet. After that, I burst into the treasure room op, where he turns out to be ramping up.

On day 125, took a second Griffin Conservatory with Luna on fire elementals, a third Griffin Conservatory with Kirr using 2 angels, and a total glutton with oil for a third. The opponent showed up; I checked their resources with Luna and killed 27 wolves with archers. On day 127, took 3 more angels. The opponent surrendered because they killed Crag during the split.
Thanks for the game!
