The game turned out to be such that every half hour I thought, either I'll definitely win, or I'll definitely surrender :D
Day one. In the tavern, Ciele. Air elementals aren't built yet, Lacus came without them. I take a crypt, the main hero reaches level 3, gets a HP ring for the fairies :) Next, I hit a passageway to the subway, grab a dungeon. On my respawn, I take a scouting hero and see 2 Griffin Conservatories. The birds on the first one absolutely refuse to join.
On the second week, I buy everything up, take a native secondary hero, and right next to it, a second Griffin Conservatory. The psychics are intact and doing well :) Ciele is leveled strictly as a mage. The opponent has a Chupa-Chups and it's clearly GG. I never even saw Loga until the end of the game :( I run to my native conservatories, take the first one — it's also a level 2 dwelling. Date is 126. I went into the second one without looking — it turned out to be a maximum one with Guardian Spirits :eek: After some hacking and slashing, I'm left with 4 Angels, but there's still a huge bunch of Griffins there. I fly from corner to corner, hitting with the arrow spell. But mana turned out not to be infinite :( I run away, leaving 12 Griffins undefeated. I think about surrendering right away or running around. But given the insane arrow spell and the path to the opponent, I still decide to finish off those 12 Griffins, buy up everything, and come up with something :)
I finish them off, run through the wasteland to the portal — it leads to my dungeon's +2 Arena. I turn around, run along the road and grab a Castle. There's a Pandora's Box with 40 Archers, and I see an exit to a grass treasure zone. I take a Dragon Fly Hive with 8 there. Then I attack 125 Storm Elementals without an army (I only put birds on the third one). Many units and an Angel die there :( in exchange, I take a Pandora's Box for 15k experience. Then I attack 50+ Manticores for an artifact +4 to primary skill, an unnecessary key chain, and a Dragon Fly Hive.
Somehow I lose another Angel :) I break into the castle and see Kreg sneaking through the bushes! I run towards him. Along the way, I pick up a Fireball artifact lying at my respawn. In the end, we exchanged blows (Kreg was crushing with 18 Attack, Tselka with Lightning Bolt dealing 450). I run over to visit him. I take his capital and secondary, and then it began...
I chased him with the main hero for a long time, while the scout heroes were fighting on the fronts, killing each other, capturing castles back and forth. In the end, it all ends like this: Kreg is clearing the snow treasure zone, he has no castles, Tselka is running after him. Since the scout had scouted the treasure zone long ago, I see all of the opponent's movements, and I know that besides Dragon Utopias, he won't find anything there :)
I scrye Kreg, write down his army and stats on a piece of paper. I see him go into a Dragon Utopia, spend some time there, and run down. The next turn, I scrye again and voila: his army hasn't changed, let alone his stats... Well, I think, either it's a minimum one and he cleared it without losses, or it's a maximum one and he didn't go in. I decide to check — it's option 2: maximum/didn't go in :D And that's where the real carnage began! I come out of there with 3 birds, 18 Air Elementals, and 7 Wyverns. I get a 3/3 cap, a +5 cap, a +6 all stats cap, and a Book of Fire. Not great, but for the last 2 movement points, I manage to cast Dimension Door to the side, because Kreg still has 2 Angels, 14 Wyverns, and 1 Green Dragon visible. He runs to my main. Date is 227. He's a couple of steps short :) Tselka casts Dimension Door and with Fly she's one step short of getting into the castle. Fine, I'll attack. I gathered the army and... remembered about the Red Rush :( I check with a scout hero for the presence of a Chupa-Chups. Fortunately, it wasn't there :) Tselka attacks. In the end, stats decided things terribly anyway, and 1 Dragon with 16 HP killed the last 2 Wyverns. Tselka is in the Altar, artifacts are with Kreg, I'm hysterical :D
On his turn, Kreg runs somewhere far to a secondary castle, where he blocks my scout hero with an army from my main. And then my mega tactical maneuver :D :
I have 25k gold. No hero can reach Kreg. I start buying out all the heroes, hoping for one with Loga. With the last 2500, I buy Octavia, who faithfully served me the first week of the game, and she barely reaches Kreg!!! I'm shocked again. I take the army, I attack. Well, stats are stats, but Kreg has no mana, and I still have more army :) The opponent's lack of castles forces him to fight to the end and write those sweet 2 letters *gg*
Thank you for an interesting and tense game!!!
