My first VoD, please don't judge harshly. Until now, all the VoDs I've seen
ended in triumph, but in my case it was the opposite)))
I didn't record audio — I had no desire to commentate on such a game. I made several
mistakes in battles, two of them serious. I chalk this up to the stress of recording (and
my opponent also didn't heed my request to play on the 8-minute mark), plus my
laptop's 1.5GHz Celeron was heavily taxed during recording — hence the lag, but
excuses obviously don't cut it. Far from my best game; I'll briefly answer
anticipated questions:
The overview wasn't very pleasing — swamp and barbs, desperately needed pathfinding; among the good stuff,
boots and the Griffin Conservatory — I planned to take both villages and get a stable down on day 117, which
worked out; I also grabbed cyclopes along the way.
I built and upgraded the Snake with the aim of getting first speed for the Centaur Captains and for
breaking marks; there was an option to buy a hero in the swamp, but there was no gold
nearby — I decided to stick to the plan.
By the end of the week, I was frantically scouting for gems; got lucky with a campfire. Water was offered
so persistently that I had to take it. I usually take it right away, because later you might
never get anything good, but right now I really wanted pathfinding.
I made a mistake with the cyclopes by not reaching the tile with centaurs, and their morale was also untimely. And I nearly
got wiped by the lizards — I had already set my mindset on a castle without horses, and when I managed to
join them I simply forgot about their existence; plus I expected to see no more than 40
lizards, thought it would be around 30 at best))
But overall, the week was more or less decent. Too bad the barbarian respawn I was counting on
turned out to be sparse; I also wished I could've squeezed in a Viper))
On the 2nd week, I planned to go through the boots into the Conservatory, but the exposed passage to the opponent +
the pesky horde of griffins changed my plans. However, the Necros were doing very well — 500+ Goshans by the start of week 3 is impressive — but by mid-week 2 it was a disaster
Better to watch at 150% speed so as not to fall asleep)))
