Sorry for the off-topic, but how did the black dragons in Utopia develop a sense of morality? :confused:
Was Utopia shrouded in a demonic mist?

Could it be that Utopia was shrouded in a demonic fog?

An angel increases morale, while a Necropolis dragon lowers the enemy's morale...

I was incredibly lucky; two of my heroes were in the tavern, and 5 elves came with me. On turn 112, I broke through 82 zombies on the snow, but monks were guarding the artifact and a pillar there, so I didn't attack. Instead, on my own map, I ambushed a unicorn lair with 8 knights. Everything was great, except I didn't take the pathfinding skill, and then I scouted the map and found a treasure on the snow. On the second turn, I broke through a teleport to distant lands, where nagabanks were falling, there was a lot of money, and dragons were building up.
Kir is level 15 and moves quickly. On the third turn, the Loshkis at home were conserving and cleaning up, Kir attacked Valeska, destroyed 40 archers, and she bought her way out. After that, he ran around her map and looted.
Thanks for the game.

No words... The opponent was unlucky again, but I managed to capture the monks in the first week. It didn't help...
Thank you for the game!

Everything listed above has been acknowledged.

Dmitriy767 (Fortress, Gundula) Def Executor(Fortress, Dessa)
The start wasn't great, I even wanted to take a rest, but I didn't. We played without rules and soon after I took the cartographer, gathered all troops and headed to Dragon Utopia; I gave the orcs and cyclops to another hero and set off, and out of stupidity forgot about the crowd of earth elementals—didn't lose very many, but it was annoying. There was nothing good in Dragon Utopia, so I went further and took a dozen more utopias while gathering the Father of Dragons armor, cursed armor, and the legionnaire statue, though I never actually used it. I equipped the hero with dragon armor, the orb of fire, and headed to the opponent; after Armageddon he had 1 bird and 1 ogre left, which were easy to kill. The opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game!

Exactly... Damn, of course, there was nothing good in my utopia... And I also lost all my troops because of a die roll with 10k XP. And when I met the opponent, all his skills were around 30))) How could my 15-18 compete with that?)))
Oh... thanks for the game))) we'll play again.

And how many days did it take? If it's not too much trouble, could you provide a timeline of when the underwater locations were captured?

We picked castles by preference. On the first week, psychos in the Stronghold (could have placed Phoenixes, but goofed and didn't pick up chests with the scout hero, and ran ahead instead, so I didn't have enough turns). Fast roads, second Conflux castle without a fort, third Rampart. On the respawn, 2 external water dwellings (took only on the third week), 2 earth dwellings (never took the second — too far to run), on the third week I found an external psycho dwelling and took it immediately. 2 Griffin Conservatories revealed (3+3). ГО — Horde of Nagas. Broke through on day 145 without losing even a single Pixie :). Long run to Ivor's castle, so I took an empty castle on day 211, then spent three days searching for the opponent. In the final battle, the opponent couldn't do anything against Monere's 19 Attack, 6 Angels, 10 Birds, 18 Psychos, 35 Magma Elementals, 69 Storm Elementals, 63 Water Elementals, and 50 Dwarves (from a Pandora's Box). And this was without the week 4 growth, which I skipped.
Thanks for the game!

Sorry for the off-topic, but how did the Black Dragons in the Dragon Utopia get morale???
Was the Utopia really standing in a Devil's Fog???

I thought about that too later. Most likely I was hallucinating, because it was late at night, and on top of that I got demoralized when I saw where I had ended up :).

That's how it was))) At first, it seemed that the world was unfair, and that nothing could be done without a strong army in the place where I started, then I thought about it and realized that the world is not cruel, but I'm just a bit slow))) Then I managed to lose in some stinky dungeon, captured a secondary Dungeon. And then Invis appeared with a terrible army (by my standards), took the Rampart, and I had nothing left to do but go to him myself)).
Thank you for the game))) I learned my lesson.

Dreamcatcher (blue, Rampart, Ivor) def Tax Collector (red, Castle, Valeska) 1-4-7, 2sm4d(3)

Good respawn. Week 1 - horses in the castle, confluence secondary captured. Week 2 - birds and Stronghold units spawned in the confluence. Week 3 - gathering power and money: bank run, two hives for 16 wyverns, 1 conservatory for 1 angel. Week 4 - bringing in griffins and taking the Dragon Utopia, which turned out to be a max spawn of 5 CDs. Plenty of meat, taken with losses of wyverns and one-hit wonders. They give Titan's Gladius, Sentinel's Shield, Hat of 5 Magics, and for some reason a red ball. Having merged two armies, I go to visit. The welcome there is hospitable, with open doors :)

Thanks for the game!

Yeah, things were going well for me too, but I found a "fort on a hill," ran to attack it, took it, but after rereading the rules: alas and alack, I ended up losing 3-4 days, and because of that, I didn't have time to unlock the Utopia, and then I also missed my opponent. In short, Loser. Conclusion: learn to play and be more attentive.

Heroes forever:)

Near the Castle there is a vampire external dwelling. Observer showed a legion body on the neighboring respawn. In the 1st week, vampires are with the castle. By the end of the 4th week, took 3 secondaries. No cons or Dragon Utopia seen anywhere.
On the 5th, broke through ГО. On the 6th, took all castles on the map (6 pieces). Gunnar, having bought out almost all troops in the main and home secondary, rushed into treasuries. Built guilds up to level 4 (Gosha advanced wisdom) everywhere possible. No Town Portal. Gunnar periodically took some castle and ran around treasuries. Gosha found one Dragon Utopia - no magic given. Built guild level 5 everywhere - no flights or Dimension Door. Bought gloves from the artifact trader. Having run across half the map, obtained boots. Logistics were not given, but pathfinding was upgraded. On 3-3-4 Gosha was approaching the home castle, which had already been taken by blue; Gunnar attacked and was killed. The opponent was in shock and surrendered.
Dear Sir Dmitriy767, please describe the final battle.
Thanks for the game and experience.

I never messed up like that before. We have the right motto in our clan!
The enemy has skills around 10, only defense is 20, I have everything over 30, magic power is even 40, plus I was missing only earth magic! He spends 660 to destroy undead, he's an expert in earth and air! We fought on his territory, the advantage of the turn was on the opponent's side, by that time I had gathered 80 wyverns (I didn't upgrade them in the enemy's city again, due to stupidity) on the first turn, the opponent speeds up, places 3 angels with his crowd, I cast slow, place almost the entire army except for a few skeletons, liches, and knights, and, in the joy of anticipating victory, forgetting about everything, I start to mess up, the opponent takes advantage of this and kills everyone except the wyverns, which he blinds! He resurrects all the skeletons, casts fountain, and in 2 hits, my wyverns are gone:eek: :smile35:
Thank you for the game and the great experience!

vbn (red, Kirr, Kirr) def MYT@R (blue, Gunnar, Gunnar), template 2SM4d(3).

Agreement on the rules: standard.
Exceptions: time-limit - 2 min and unlimited use of the Dimension Door spell.

The map was rich in gold and resources, as well as experience and artifacts.
Therefore, the game lasted a long time, we leveled up, and it was interesting.
The only thing that spoiled the impression of the game was the lack of 2 minutes of real time.

Kirr's artifacts: Sword of Justice, Armor of War, Book of Earth, Hat of 5th level spells (visited 2 Utopias).

The final battle took place on 2-3-4.
Kirr level 24 with 200,000 experience and parameters 22-28-30-19 +198 mana and expert skills:
Archery+Logistics+Earth+Air+Water+Attack+Defense
7 Archangels + 8 Gold Dragons + 32 Champions + 22 Battle Unicorns + 80 Elves + 15 Monks + 145 Centaurs.

against
Gunnar level 21 with 113,000 experience and parameters 23-12-8-10 +122 mana
3 Angels + 7 Red Dragons + 35 Wyverns + 18 Scorpions + 26 Minotaurs + 52 Medusas + 150 Gremlins.

Kirr goes first, and with +4 morale and expert speed,
he practically didn't let Gunnar move (it seems that Archangels were lucky right away, then Dragons, then Unicorns and Elves, as many as 4 times, that's how morale works).

But even without that, the battle was won without losses,
due to the mana advantage and the presence of Resurrection.

True, Kirr's ballista was targeting the last slot in Gunnar's army,
which prevented resurrection, as Gunnar immediately attacked with an arrow.
But in this case, it was not critical, so I didn't bother.

Thanks for the game!
