Piterius (red, Conflux, Moner, Moner) def Volland (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 8mm6, 211, WT
Bought the Castle for 2000 and the color for 800. We did a bit of resting, and when the opponent had 111 remaining, I scouted the two:smile54: external dwellings of the psychics, though the guard of the second one wasn't visible. Near the Castle, a Pandora's Box for a pack of earth elementalists gave 50 blue fairies — I nervously await the end of the blue's turn. Yes! We're playing. Further, the only good thing was a lot of scattered gold, but otherwise, insanely long roads. The center guard — a stack of Evil Eyes — never made it to the Necropolis computer; I had to Town Portal to it and ended up fighting near the psychics' external dwellings. I took only one; the second one had a Naga Bank and resources behind a stack of Pit Fiends, so I didn't bother. I also painted the external dwellings of Fairies, Air Elementals, and Earth Elementals. On day 116, gold was zero, but on day 117, the scout heroes collected all the cleared and scattered stuff, and the scout hero barely reached the Dwarf Cottage on the last hex — exactly 10k, and the Griffins were built in the Citadel. During the respawn turn near the Griffin Conservatory, close to the passage to the center — another one.
As usual at the start of the second week for Conflux — I got bogged down looking for gold to mass buy, so I only reached the center on day 125, and by then the blue had already taken positions, threatened punishment, and I had to flee in another direction.
Day 131 — I finally have a second town! I reached it!
On day 132, with supply, I take the minimal Dragon Utopia, which has a blue Cap, Bracers, and Ring of Life. Things got easier. After wasting two days on a Dragon Fly Hive behind a mountain, clearing the Cap +5 Knowledge, and replenishing mana, I run further along the path, see another Dragon Fly Hive above the teleporter, but decide not to get distracted or waste mana. That Dragon Fly Hive turned out to be fatal for Valeska, but more on that at the end.
Day 137 — another Dragon Utopia with a Cape +2 Speed, Helm of Heavenly Thunder, and Red Boots.
Day 141 — I camp in the Necropolis — it has a Capitol :).
For the rest of the fourth week, I aggressively ate up the map; I didn't engage, as there wasn't much point, and the opponent's stats were much higher than mine. I only became somewhat convincing after the fourth Dragon Utopia.
Day 146 — I see Valeska diving into the subway toward that very Dragon Fly Hive. I jump to a nearby town, and on day 147, I watch her take the Dragon Fly Hive and run a short distance away. I get my turn, bring up the cash, equip the Bracers, and attack. The forces are not equal; Valya didn't expect the trick, GG.
Thanks for the game!
At the start of week 3, I captured the Castle bot, entered the underground where that Dragon Utopia was, collected more Angels and Ducks there; running to the Dragon Utopia was too far, so I set up a chain and freed a level 10 Zealot who took a max Dragon Utopia on day 127, containing a Shield +4 all, a Hat +6 all, a Sword +12-3, and a Book of Water.
On week 4, another 2 Dragon Utopias with a Sword +6 all, a Cape of Speed, Wings, 100K Gold, an income after tax deduction of 8K Gold; Angels were built, resources were available; all that remained was to mass buy the growth, come home, upgrade 14 Angels, and build Town Portal; my stats were 2 times higher — instead of that, I did everything to lose — I decided to go into the underground where I had seen the opponent's scout heroes on week 3 for reconnaissance, where I got caught by Archers hidden in reserve and wearing Wings instead of a Cape of Speed.
The whole game I played well, but the end of the last week I threw the game.
Thanks for the game
