The game turned out to be quite interesting.
We started quite a while ago, and after today's load I asked myself "why didn't I take rest", because it spawned a tiny central respawn, from external dwellings - only orcs, apparently the Griffin Conservatory held... Oh well.
On the first day I broke through via wood to grass, captured a Castle there, took a pre-max Crypt, Crag got Tactics. Little gold, barely scraped together enough for 1-5 in the Citadel.
On day 121, upgraded birds, moving to another secondary - Rampart. There I visit the Stable, buy a spell book, take max Imp, beat a chest for 8 Champions, and inside... empty. :) I stupidly lose 1 bird to gr. centaurs. Scouting reveals part of the blue respawn, I see Wystan taking the Dragon Fly Hive, he already has up to 99 gr. Lizardmen, but no secondary towns yet. I stick +1000 everywhere. Crag maxed Defense, Tactics, Air, got Earth.
At the start of the 3rd, I take max Hive, Shield +5, recall home, there's a Griffin Conservatory 2, I move to visit Roma through his Necro secondary, which is where he's messing around at that time. Wystan recalls, I take a Naga Bank on day 3 and move toward the enemy capital.
On day 141, I capture the capital, where only Lizardmen and Hydras were recruited, no sign of Wystan. I recall to Rampart, visit the Stable, refill mana, and onward to the treasure zone! Finally, I get Log, quickly max it, pick up Club +5, hit Dragon Utopia, which gives Titan's Plate, Shackles of War, Red Ball. I visit the University, Cyclops Stockpile, the scout hero with full might hits 2 Angel external dwellings, buys them out, Crag on an Angel is ramping nearby. Complete confidence in victory, I relax. And then (!) out of nowhere appears Wystan with Chain Lightning, Mass Slow for up to 100 Lizardmen and the rest of the meat, attacks the scout hero. Like a fool, I built the Capitol the previous turn, almost down to 0. :smile21: (by the way, I noticed a pattern — as soon as you build the Capitol, trouble starts :)). In short, I get wiped out cleanly, killing almost nothing. Well, I think, it's over, but I didn't get upset. There was another treasure zone through a portal near Rampart — I head there, plus the week 4 growth survived.
In the treasure zone, I scooped up 18 Dragons, took Sword +5 to all, Morale/Luck Pendant, 2 quest artifacts (which were requested not far from the capital), smashed a Dragon Utopia there for +4 to all, +2 to all, Hat for 10.
I recall to the capital. Wystan also recalls to his own, clearly intending to visit. One hut gives +10000 gold, another gives 25 Diamond Golems! — just what I need. I sit in the Castle, equipping Shackles of War and the Red Ball. Wystan shows up right away, attacks!
My army: 2 Polar Bears, 25 Diamond Golems, 14 Grand Ogres, 12 Birds, 16 Dragons, 60 Marksmen, 35 Orcs (have Golden Bow). Stats: 28 20
Enemy army: 150 Grand Lizardmen, 3 Angels, 27 Grand Dragons, 7 Hydras, 10 Grand Gorgons, 30 Flies. Stats: 12 26
Roma was counting on Chain and Explosion, but fell into a trap. After a prolonged shootout, I secure victory, losing only half the meat.
Thanks for the game!
