2 game. Gave away the castle and color to the opponent again. Only one respawn left, got a decent spread, a tough start + I see a Dragon Utopia on respawn - well, I think, I need to play! One BUT, not a single Griffin Conservatory or hives. That's what doomed me! The first, and also the last, level 2 Griffin Conservatory was in the middle of nowhere in a remote corner of the world (only reached it on 131), 2 hives were diametrically in opposite remote corners. There are 2 Dragon Utopias, but it's completely unclear what to take them with (Inferno is such inferno in the SOD). Gundula became a GG - levels up nicely, though without logistics, which also turned out to be weak against Deesa. In the treasure zone I found a КВ, +4/4, something else. Barely with my native army + an external dwelling of demons I take the level 2 Dragon Utopia. Nothing particularly interesting there. And then the OPP - BAM! I don't remember the details, but the gist is that without Griffin Conservatories and hives, it's hard for Inferno to pull through.

This time, even the templates were messed up. They scribbled in that same mega-skill diamond. Once again, I gave my opponent a color for 1100 and a Castle for 3 rubles. In the end, I had the cash; by day one, I already had 8 heroes and 1 village, and on day two—a second one. I see 2 conss, one is a 1k. Chocolate!!! Well, I thought to myself, why play it safe? Time to tempo! :D And so, as usual, I TEMPOED. :D The Griffins are morale-boosting, and even the same old Solmir + meat from the village can't pull through. A wipe down to 0 gremlins—what could be better! Straight from chocolate to rock bottom.
But it turned out that skill on the other end of the wire can actually work too! Anyway, the first week didn't go well for either of us.

I'm building Nagas, what else is there to do. I somehow break through passages with 4 mages and shooters just to reveal artifacts and some sweets. And here it is—happiness: a Blue Hat in one of the treasure zones + nearby are 2 hives and a 3rd cons. Then scouts find another 2 Dragon Utopias. Hallelujah Hallelujah Halelluuuuyaaa. :cool:

I take the unfortunate cons with Nagas, then scouts reveal more decent artifacts + 5 SP behind Champions, +4/4 to the head +2 speed for a pack of Giants, +2/2 to the hand for Nagas—all of this is taken, albeit with difficulty, using lightning, an Angel, and a group of Nagas. After that, it's just a matter of technique! A chain to the Hat; there's also a tavern nearby. Solmir is bought out there at 131 and happily grabs all of it for a pack of Phoenixes.

At this point, I could have ended the game immediately, having a Chain on 800k+. But I decided to play it safe; I was afraid that by then he might find a KS or Recanter, Shackles, and didn't want to escalate. I only snatched the opponent's capital so he wouldn't have +1 speed, but I didn't develop the expansion further: first, the tavern always says the opponent's army is larger; second, there's no Town Portal, you could really mess up that way. One pack on the first was enough for me; I decided to keep a reserve now, especially since this party is the deciding one.

I take 4 Dragon Utopias and collect the meager hives. Still no Town Portal. Resources were spent on Giants and Nagas, so Mage Guild wasn't exactly a priority. Basically, I'm powering up, but the opponent's army is always larger—that's what's stressing me out. In the end, having Dimension Door while my opponent doesn't eventually pulls my army up to the proper level! By then, I assemble an Elixir, since Solmir has neither offense nor armor, and the opponent switched from Moon to Gurni and is showing some astronomical 43 attack; clearly, without an elixir and KS, the battle will be brutal and not in my favor.

The game drags on, "football" begins, we both make mistakes. In the end, I'm getting nervous from the stupidity and cover Gurni with bracers in his own capital (which he lost due to carelessness). Solmir pulls out a win via FB simply through elemental summons and 660 mana.

Thanks to my fellow countryman for the games; it was interesting.

P.S. Vova liked long reports; he loved spinning such tales about epic parties himself!

Rollback around 6500. Played without re-//re-rolls. Charna in boots with 111. Tolerable road junction, fat corner treasure zone with drowned one at 125.

Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game.

I was lucky to encounter an opponent with AotD, +2 to speed, and a charm that boosts morale and luck.

Thanks for the game.

The opponent had nothing, while I had Dragon Utopia with kz/kv. Not much to describe. Thanks for the game!

Thank you for playing.
