FireToSky (red, Dungeon, Darkstorn, Gundula) def AlexTheGreat (blue, Castle, Kaitlin, Dimer), 8mm6a, 213, full
Alex got lucky — there wasn’t a single Inferno on the map :) But I got my own native town, which I only reached by week 3
112 - freed Grechka, took the Dwarf Cottage, 8 heroes. There’s an external Troglodyte dwelling and an external Minotaur dwelling behind a pack of Skeletons; we’re not taking the Troglodytes yet.
The roads were v-e-r-y long; the road to the center took more than half the map diagonally.
By the end of week 1-6 in the castle and 15k in reserve! Daddy expertised his starting skills and took Magic.
121 - upgraded 4 Cats, I burst into the center with Kalt, through blocks of Evil Eye and a horde of Vampires I free Ivor at level 10, who takes the central Barbarian village without a fight.
There I buy Gundula, who immediately becomes the main hero. I left a couple of Cats on the blocks.
122 - another prison with a weak hero, arena. Moshna goes home, upgrade Evil Eyes — I check the Griffin Conservatory with the weak hero: 2-4, I’m afraid to go in.
123-124 - back through the very long chain, Moshna to Gundula, she takes a Dragon Fly Hive at 6, an经验 Pandora’s Box, and breaks back home.
125 - Griffin Conservatory 2 with the weak hero, Moshna to Gundula, she with Mass Curse takes a previously untouched max-Griffin Conservatory with a loss of 2-3 Harpies.
126 - I go to the center, I see broken guards there — scary... On their turn the blue player chases Kalt on an Angel
127 - took my native Dungeon village, there’s also a Dragon Utopia and a couple of Griffin Conservatories; I can already see about 5-6 Dragon Utopias scattered everywhere
131 - minimal Griffin Conservatories :( Gundula on Scout goes home, there’s Berserker with Inferno
132 - the Academy gave useless Resurrection and Meteor Shower. In 1 Dragon Utopia they gave All-Seeing Eye, Cap +4/+4. We run to my native town, on the way another Dragon Utopia
133-134 - in the Dragon Utopia: Celestial Shield and Helm; the Academy finally gave Town Portal. Another couple of junk Dragon Utopias :) We duplicated 2 shields and 1 helm) But they gave a HP-boosting trinket to the ring I already had
By the end of the week I built the 5th level mage guild, and on the 4th(!!!) attempt it gave Dimension Door; in yet another Dragon Utopia they gave another piece of junk :) I jumped to a Library spotted from the Dungeon village — there are 2 of them side by side and another native village :)
141 - almost 60 Minotaurs, stats not great — about 20, while Dimer’s spellpower is already almost 40! But now with Dimension Door life started getting better)
Alex’s timer is at zero, we still have some buffer; Darkstorn has views (map scouting), so Alex does too, since he spends 20 minutes on 600 seconds)
Plan for week 4 — search for stats and the ring through maximum map scouting. Gundula jumped to a Dragon Utopia in the underground spotted long ago but unreachable; the weak heroes scout the enemy respawn and the treasure zone
By midweek, behind the mountains from the enemy respawn, a Dragon Utopia on grass is spotted — respawn of purple Castle; the weak heroes from the treasure zone see a ring, which Darkstorn quickly snagged. In the Dragon Utopias we found Wings twice, Fire Booster, Water Book, and an All-Seeing Helm +6
In short, I visited another couple of Libraries, 2 more Dragon Utopias, an external Minotaur dwelling at the enemy town, collected the Elixir, half a hundred Wyverns, a bunch of stats, and was ready to meet Alex. I also built a Dungeon village for him, which he takes from me on 147.
211 - can’t reach the offender, so we grit our teeth and position ourselves 2 jumps from his village, and from there another 2 jumps to his swamp town
212 - took the swamp — upgraded Wyverns, just as on his turn Alex ran out of time at an inconvenient moment, leaving the main hero in the field
213 - we cover the main hero with Bracers. Both armies are huge — 100+ Minotaurs on our side, 18 Angels, 90 Evil Eyes, about 60 Wyverns, 350 Troglodytes and Cats + Elixir against 20+ Archers, 150 Crusaders, Marksmen, Lizardmen, 13 Cavaliers, and about 70 Wyverns
FB: everyone waits, then we pray and the Troglodytes hit a whopping 27 Wyverns, then we get Slowed. Next round Armageddon for 4k damage by ATG on everyone; only Crusaders and Archers survive against our Minotaurs, Angels, Wyverns, and a few Evil Eyes. We Blind the Archers and Crusaders and start having fun :)
Thanks for the great game!

FireToSky (red, Dungeon, Malekith) def Javdet (blue, Rampart, Aeris), 131
Restarted 3 doubles on the opponent, thought I’d walk into an ambush) No, quite playable — we have Conflux, Roman has Rampart.
Nearby: an external Minotaur dwelling and a Shield +4 behind Ogres
By the end of the week I built 1-6 in the Citadel with a Minotaur portal. The enemy town is very far — so starting from 121 I decided to rush the center, taking 2 Griffin Conservatories along the way
On 116 there was a mega-fight with a zero-level weak hero with a Harpy and 3 Minotaurs against about 40 Dwarves; I lost a Minotaur)
121 - 2 minimal Griffin Conservatories. Various spells learned from Alamar through the Scholar came in very handy, particularly Blind, which helped me beat a pack of King Cyclopes without losses and free Grindan at level 10.
122 - sandy center
123 - minimal Dragon Fly Hive; native village in the center; we break through 6 Stone Gargoyles — tough, difficult fight, but we only lost overpopulation from 37 Troglodytes and one Minotaur. One cell short of the village.
124 - to the already existing Intellect and Int stats, Grindan also gets the Scholar, making it impossible for him to continue serving as the main hero :) So Malekith is summoned from far away; in the Pandora’s Box behind the Gargoyles, my gut feeling said — Earth! Malekith only has Advanced Wisdom, oh well.
In the Pyramid they also gave Armageddon; I’ve already spotted 2 Dragon Utopias in the sands
125 - experience Pandora’s Box; I leveled up Earth, added Fire, and took Archery(!).
126 - epicly take a minimal Dragon Utopia with 18 Minotaurs and 2 Angels plus small meat stacks with Resurrection. They gave a Tunic +4/+4 and a Tunic +5
127 - run to the second Dragon Utopia; spot another one; an external Cat dwelling; at home for fun I build Dragons :) I don’t have Mercury for the mage guild yet; I only managed to build level 2
131 - got ready to take the second Dragon Utopia; I spotted another one (4 total in the center!). On his turn Roman makes some mistake; well, a second auto-pilot is no longer serious. Though the situation against my Dragon Utopias was quite favorable
Thanks for the fun game :)
P.S. Too bad the fun ended so quickly :(
