111 - 9 archers for Valya, 6 heroes. 112 - path to the secondary is a horde of Marksmen, but 2 Griffin Conservatories, 4 Dwarf Cottages, and 3 Crypts are revealed; it's decided not to take the rest. A week of clearing, breaking back home, and 1246 in Castle. 121 by chain: 6 Champions to Valya, 38 Marksmen, and a mini-Griffin Conservatory; after that I'm torn, I don't know what to do — either go clear the path to the secondary and take 2 Griffin Conservatories, or finish collecting the Dwarf Cottages and Crypts; I settle on the second option. By 125 the opponent has taken the secondary. The strike army is bought out, so on 127 a Capitol without Angels, breaking back home. 131 - another dilemma: go into the unknown or take a Naga, Dwarf Cottage, Medusa-den, and 3 artifacts? I chose the second option, though with overnight stays on the Angel I managed it in 3.5 days...In the Castle: Town Portal, no Earth magic, the Scholar-Non-Scholar gives Navigation; I'm thinking whether it's even worth taking the secondary to get home successfully? 137 Angels. 141 mini-Griffin Conservatory, no luck...144 I finally decide to take the secondary along the way and Griffin Conservatory 2; Chains are set in case the opponent appears (but the map turned out to be overly closed — 15 Faerie Dragons and a horde of Scorpicores, the bypass is too far away). I return home closer to the Castle, Town Portal, Archangels, overnight stay, and 211...No opponent, 2 empty slots; I have no idea how to hit the GO, so I go to the treasure zone I found in the dungeon. Week 5 - a triple Dragon Utopia, a Hat: 4-4 Attack-Knowledge, the Book of Fire, and a Ring of Life giving me the Elixir of Life...I feel relieved, plus 31 Efreet, the Golden Bow, and about 30K experience in Pandora's Boxes; blue's hero grows like a weed. The last Pandora - 25 Gold Golems (if I can pull off an Armageddon at the end). Portal home, overnight stay, and off I go...13 Archangels, 23 Champions, 160 Marksmen, 33 Zealots, 52 Crusaders, 31 Efreet, and 25 Gold Golems (there was an option of 72 Royal Griffins or 320 Pikemen, but I decided they definitely wouldn't dominate). GO about 150 Scorpicores — no losses; next to it, blue's main Castle. On the next turn, I check with a scout hero; his army seems a bit stronger than mine, and his hero too; running without Earth magic experience is pointless, so I attack — 11 Gold Dragons, 55 Dendroids, 125 Grand Elves, 60 Pegasi, 120 Dwarves, 38 Efreet, and Unicorns (I don't remember how many). I cast Implosion on the Gold Dragons — almost -5; he shoots the catapult with the tower (debatable in this case, though with a favorable outcome... I still have 2 stacks of archers and Archangels); after that, he casts mass Haste, skips turns; I classically block him in his Castle with Efreet...Then it was simple — clones of Archangels decided the battle...I have the Speed Ring +2, plus the Elixir; everything was resolved quickly; part of the army didn't participate in the fight...Game result: 9 Chesterfield cigarettes, slightly burnt pilaf, and pleasant fatigue. TunguS played well, thanks for the game, good luck in your future battles on the fields of Erathia!!!
Albert, it's all great, and you did well. Your reports are formatted a bit differently; pay attention to that.
