Great map. The most dynamic map of all those played this season. I didn't scout it at all. Few resources, little money, I was hoping to rely on the sea to gather the wood so necessary for the swamp. Tazar got tactics on a stone and a spellbook on an event. From the start, 2 native heroes (27 lizards), including Rosik, who helped me a lot with his ranged attack. I assigned Brokhgild to the navy, and he set sail on the first day. And Tazar upgraded the lizards and immediately went underground to clear out a group of flies. Then, for some reason, he returned and went into the teleport. Rosik freed a specialist in silver and a specialist in mercury from the prison, the latter also having a starting ranged attack :). Rosik took an army from two heroes and went outside, where he found Kirr with 7 elves, 30+ centaurs, 2 dogs, and 5 archers. Forgetting the rule not to attack in the first 8 days :smile43:, he attacked on day 116. Zhenya didn't mind continuing, so we agreed to ignore this rule :). Killing almost all of his centaurs and 6 elves, Rosik bought his way out with 6 gargoyles. On day 117, Kirr went further up and stopped next to Rissa :), to whom all the troops would be transferred on the next turn, and she would drive Kirr away. In the first week, I built flies and wyverns in the citadel and in both castles, reaching a thousand each. The second week consisted of a large number of bloody battles between the players (in total, there were probably more than 10 clashes). On day 121, red flags began to emerge from all sides like cockroaches. Rosik, with his ranged attack (art +3 to magic power and cloak +2/2 power/knowledge), defended the western front, defeating a bunch of weaklings with the remaining 6 gargoyles, which deserve a medal :). Rissa defended on the eastern front. Tazar defeated a quest artifact guarded by a group of vampires and exchanged it for 1 black dragon right there:smile23:. On day 131, Tazar, having gained growth, went to Zhenya's secondary castle, which was surrendered without a fight. I scout the area, and I don't see any reds. The cockroaches are gone :). I buy a spellbook, and Rosik finds a water elemental and takes it. In the second week, I built +2000 in both castles, but I didn't build any more troops in the second castle, because all the money went to buying weaklings. Rosik transfers all the artifacts to Tazar, who learns ice bolt in the tower on day 130, with 80 mana. We can try to capture the castle. If not, then the reds have formally lost anyway, because I control the entire map. On day 137, I storm the castle, bringing up everyone I could. The combat parameters are approximately the same. I have 87 lizardmen, 50+ pikemen, 90+ gnolls, 8 wyverns, 10 water elementals, 30 flies, and 1 black dragon, morale is neutral, luck is +2. Kirr has 6 unicorns, 14 dryads, 15 elves, 30+ centaurs, and 25 pegasi. The towers start shooting at the black dragon, which dies in the 2nd round. I only shoot with lizardmen and ice bolt. I made a mistake by exposing the wyverns to the dryads, which immobilized them. The wyverns die immediately, but I block the gate, almost defeat the pegasi, and bring the lizardmen to the middle of the field to reduce the penalty. As a result, Zhenya has 2 unicorns, 8 dryads, 3 elves, and 1 pegasus left. I have 50 lizardmen, 50 pikemen, and 60 gnolls. I cast blessing on the lizardmen, and they shoot with luck, leaving 4 dryads, on which Zhenya casts haste, and they fight in melee with my ranged attackers. There are 37 lizardmen left, against 3 elves and 2 unicorns. I was very surprised by the blindness, which caused the unicorns to miss three times in a row!!! But in principle, it was already decided. I have 25 lizardmen against one unicorn with 4 HP))).
Thank you for the interesting game!
