It was an interesting game: I had a native secondary hero, and Valera did too :). It started as a competition to see who could get money faster to build two castles. In the first week, I built wyverns in the citadel at my main town and a wyvern with no upgrades in the secondary. Tazar was only level 3, but on day 117, zero-level Gervulf with 27 lizard warriors and 40 gnolls took a maximum crypt with a loss of 10 gnolls and 1 lizard warrior, and also immediately got logistics. For that, I awarded him the title of "daddy". The Griffin Conservatory was scouted, there was an external dwelling of wyverns (behind a horde of demons, so I only took it on week 3, because I was busy on week 2) and an external dwelling of gnolls. On the second day, Gervulf captures 2 nagabanks, a couple of crypts, and goes into the underground hoping to shake down some hives. But there are only pandora's boxes there, and little troops, no tome, so he gets defeated and goes into another underground area. There I take a ring of health, break through to the surface, and calmly move forward. It's a good thing that when I passed the turn, the weak hero with the army stayed in the underground, while Gervulf stayed overnight on the flies. On the next turn, an enraged Valya attacks, but Gervulf buys her off. The next turn was probably the longest in my practice. I did more useful things in that turn than in all 2 weeks combined. By the way, we played on 6-minute turns (you can't make army transfers on 4 stocks). The weak hero with the army runs back along the path, taking the army far away, captures the Dungeon castle, near which a dwarf dwelling, a hive, and a spirit of despair are visible. On the same turn, 2 heroes are dismissed, two are hired in the Dungeon, one takes the minimal hive, the dwarf dwelling with 100 dwarves, gives the troops to Dessa, who ran to capture the spirit of despair, then returns to the Dungeon, the hero who took the hive is dismissed, another hero is hired, who passes the troops along the chain to the main one, where Gervulf is hired, who buys the tome, takes the army, defeats the guard of the external wyvern dwelling, and captures the dwelling itself... It probably wasn't worth all the complication, because because of capturing the dwarf dwelling I lost as much as I earned. But I wanted to make sure the enemy didn't get it :), because Valera was also scouring everywhere for money, since besides his 2 main castles there were also lots of external dwellings (2 ends of swords,...). But there's an artifact against Valessa's hyper-morale. Everything seems fine, but Gervulf's stats are 2-9 :(, while Valya's are much higher. Valya takes the secondary Dungeon town, the weak heroes chase Dessa for a long time, who, before dying, collected almost all the resources and gold piles. Gervulf goes into the first underground to take the +5 shield and pandora's boxes, Valya wanders up into the treasury, which, by the way, I also went into, only from the other side. Also, there is a chance to catch Valessa with an incomplete army. Tazar, meanwhile, was completely demoted and became a resource collector :). Gervulf eats two empty boxes :mad:, the third gives 10k experience. Then he takes a conservatory for 1 angel. By the way, I never took the conservatory on the respawn until the end of the game (it's a long way to trudge through the swamp). Valessa, meanwhile, didn't want to come to me, but gets defeated and the troops go along the chain to the native respawn. I wandered around the treasury a bit, took the ring of speed, and then I see blue flags at the Griffin Conservatory. I immediately get defeated in my main town, bring the troops, and wait :). Valya stops near the fork with the spy, who dies from an arrow shot by Torgrim. On day 147 she attacks, and FF:
Valya's stats are slightly higher (though roughly equal), but she has more mana and expert Earth with Slow, Shield, and Stone Skin. 42 crusaders, 21 cavalry, 120 marksmen, 30+1+1 griffins, 90 halberdiers, all upgraded. Gervulf has no mass magic, 40 dragonflies, 220 gnolls, 110 lizard warriors, 31 wyverns, 1 angel, 30 basilisks, 3 minotaurs. The battle lasted over two hours; Valya's starting ballista during this time broke all the holes possible and even damaged the towers :). And after Haste through Wait, I couldn't attack because Ballista gives the first turn and the wyverns would have been left outside the castle. In the open field I would have had no chance, but storming a swamp is very difficult without offensive magic. And I also made a mistake: I wanted to block the gate with the angel, but instead opened it))). In the end, Valya retreats without troops, and I have 65 lizard warriors, 180 gnolls, and 13 wyverns left. Valera doesn't surrender and waits for the next turn to buy his Mama. But on my turn, I attack the spy, who bought himself off and covered Valya in the tavern :smile39:
Thanks for the interesting game!
