I took all the rests on the blocks, we started.
111 - From the start, 85 Gremlins and 3 money carts, no folder is particularly leading in stats, so everyone gathers at the stone to draw lots )), two candidates were determined - Dungeon fighters. Damacon got level 1 upgrade (Archery) and Earth Magic in the pre-max Crypt, and Lorelei got Logistics. I decide to level both for now.
112 - Lorelei runs into a block of a horde of Gogs on the grass, rests in the pre-max Crypt, meanwhile beating off a pile of resources and gold.
113 - Army is transferred to the flank to Damacon, who breaks through 70 zombie guards to exit to the native secondary town. 2 Dragon Fly Hives and a Dragon Utopia are revealed on the respawn.
114 - Native secondary town taken. From the scout's view, I reveal the respawn on turn 1, which is not pleasing, but there is still a lot of gold coming in from 3 money carts.
115 - Army is transferred to Lacus who, with Expert Tactics at the cost of 5 Gargoyles, breaks through 20 Ice Elementals to exit to the grass. Scout heroes run into the stables, and Lorelei, with Advanced Logistics, takes the secondary Castle square by square.
116 - Shield +4 for a stack of Basilisks and a Minion Crypt. Damacon runs to the main town to learn Slow. Lorelei also leveled up Earth Magic.
117 - I estimate that by turn 121 I won't get [sufficient forces?] for a group of Nagas, so I run the long way to another exit through the Boars onto another grass field. End of the week: home town has Nagas in the Citadel, secondary towns have Mages in the Citadel.
121 - I transfer everyone to a group of Gargoyles, resources are beaten off. Damacon is boosted before the Boars to exit to the grass.
122 - 80 Boars and the Minion Crypt taken.
123 - Stables, secondary Rampart taken. Damacon gets Logistics at level 8! The question of the main hero is resolved.
124 - I run to the Dragon Fly Hive on the grass respawn. Lorelei harvests 2 external stacks of Centaurs and a +1+1 Att/Def ring. 0 Gems. I send a sacrificial hero with 2 Nagas to beat off 2 stacks in order to upgrade and bring up Nagas for taking the Dragon Fly Hive.
125 - Damacon skips [movement?], a chain is set up.
126 - Max Dragon Fly Hive taken for 80 flies. I didn't notice the removal of Slow and lost 40 Gremlins on the guard ((. The Dragon Fly Hive itself gave max Centaur stacks from externals, 20 Pikemen from the week 1 sacrificial hero, and 10 Gargoyles.
127 - Griffin Conservatory level 2, where I sacrificed about another 60 Gremlins. Splitting [army?] to the main town and boosting before the Dragon Utopia on the native respawn. I plan to take 2 Naga Banks, buy out everyone, and take the Dragon Utopia. But then, from my own native respawn, revealed by the scout's view, Tazik comes rustling through on my native respawn. I absolutely could not have expected him to dare go into the snow on day 127. I thought he was running down his respawn to harvest something. Autopsy revealed 2 externals and a lot of gold there, but no, he was running exactly to my secondary town which he hadn't seen yet, and square by square through the snow he runs into my native secondary town with Nagas built at the castle and an unbought growth from week 1. Well, I was simply in shock here. It has happened before, but not like this!
131 - No other plan, I rely on native troops. Lorelei takes a Medusa Hovel-8 and sends the army to Damacon + the bought growth, who takes a Dragon Fly Hive-6 and a Well. The opponent, on his turn, bringing his growth, runs further towards me along the road. The army is not very impressive: a horde of Marksmen, Grandmasters, a stack of Cavaliers, a few Angels, and Swordsmen.
132 - I take a Naga Bank-4, sleep there. On the opponent's turn, he brings himself Nagas and an attack follows. FF - Tazar 3-16-2-1(10) Expert Armorer, Archery, Earth Magic, Artillery: 60 Marksmen, 40 Grandmasters, 3 Nagas, 9 Cavaliers, 3+1 Swordsmen, 2 Angels, and a Ballista versus Damacon 8-10-3-3 Expert Attack, Archery, Earth Magic: 9 Nagas, 100 Gremlins, 17 Mages, 18 Gargoyles, 20 Gargoyles [Note: likely repeating "Gargoyles" from earlier list, possibly "Druids"? Check original — "100 колпаков, 17 магов,18 уток,20 гарг" -> 100 Gremlins, 17 Mages, 18 Gargoyles, 20 Gargoyles (seems typo, original had "уток" meaning ducks/Gargoyles, and "гарг" also Gargoyles; probably "18 уток" = 18 Gargoyles, "20 гарг" = 20 Gargoyles, total 38)], 2 Angels, 26 Iron Golems. Well, in this battle everything was against me. The opponent generated a huge pit right in front of his shooters, which allowed him to cover both shooter stacks with Cavaliers and Angels from 2 sides. No way through except through them. Mass Slow, thankfully only for 2 rounds, and my lack of Stone Skin which would have reduced losses by 2-3 times. Morale and Luck for both are zero. Rely only on personal skills. By round 3, after Slow wore off, I finally managed to approach the cover from two sides. The Nagas took on the Angels, and the Gargoyles with Angels took on the Cavaliers. By this time, from my shooters, only 3 Mages and 50 Gremlins remained. Along the way, using my own shooters and the [ballista?] shot on [turn?] 60, I took down about 25 of the opponent's Marksmen. Then a long melee grind. Tazik with 16 defense seemed almost unkillable, and I wasn't lagging behind with Mass Shield either. But there was no salvation from the enemy shooters with direct arrow ((. 9 Cavaliers are fighting against 18 Gargoyles, 2 Angels, and Golems behind waiting their turn. 9 Nagas barely manage to take out 2 Angels. In the end, after several rounds, I finally managed to reach the shooters with a pathetic remnant of an army: all Golems, 1 Angel, and shooters. Well, shooters are no warriors in melee. The opponent runs away with 3 Swordsmen, killing 1 Golem and unsuccessfully trying to kill the Angel ), but the opponent doesn't surrender. Instead, he buys [heroes] in my secondary town and sleeps there with a dozen pokemons, for which he paid the next turn. Damacon with Expert Logistics kills Tazik in his own secondary town ). So, despite the opponent's critical "luck" in capturing my native secondary town, and thereby separating half my army + adding boost to himself, I managed to win.
Thanks for the game.
