We played the first week over the previous weekend, so I won't remember everything exactly. I used all my restarts, opponent had 111 left. Let's go.
111 - Shakti with 2 stacks, Damacon in the tavern. Immediately reveal an external dwelling of manticores for a group of skeletons, clear it, not in a hurry to take it, but it's already nice. There are 3 crypts in a row, also not bad. 8 heroes, Shakti gets armor.
112 - Following the manticore dwelling along the road is a dwelling of minotaurs + pandora + Griffin Conservatory behind a crowd of medusas. Nearby a pandora for a group of rocs. On the other road a hive, a couple of troglodyte dwellings and a dragon dwelling + chest behind a crowd of eyes. There's an external market. I thought about taking the cats and setting up a portal.
113 - Scout hero checks the eye, 36 of them. I make a compromise decision, take the cat dwelling but don't set up the portal. On the first road, another minotaur dwelling is revealed + a cudgel for 5+ a bunch of resources behind a crowd of pegasi, a stables nearby. A tasty piece, decided to leave it for the end of the week.
114 - Shakti with earth, I prepare to hit the eye, built the cats at home. 15k gold in the treasury. On the first road beyond the stables there's also a Dragon Fly Hive + boots behind a crowd of medusas.
115 - I build minotaurs at home. I hit the eye with a loss of 22 troglodytes, then another 30 at the dwelling (a dozen were unnecessary). Grechin takes the swamp village, Shakti splits there, next turn I plan to buy the book.
116 - Mistakes started, first I ran out of town without buying the book, but stopped in time. Shakti split into the main, but zoned out on the road and didn't take +1sp from the medusas. Then I almost lost Grechin's dragon in the hive on 8, managed to close it, left with 4hp. Gave away the minotaur and about 20 troglodytes. On top of that, I attack with Lorelei a group of ghosts, there are 49 of them, I give away the rest of the troglodytes and eyes. A dragon in the portal, at least that cheered me up.
117 - Shakti breaks through the medusas, 36 of them, without losses, the pandora has all level 1 spells, I take the minotaur dwelling, immediately a gnome hut near it (don't remember the size anymore). Xyron takes the army and hits the pegasi behind 2 dwellings. There are 49 of them with Grand Strike, immediately - a cat, then another - a Wyvern. At least I manage to take the dwelling. At home 1-6 in the Citadel + portal. I took 4 troglodyte dwellings for meat. I split the scout hero with the Spirit of Apathy and forgot to buy him back. There was a save here.
121 - Continued. Troglodytes in the portal, Shakti through the stables hits the medusas for the Dragon Fly Hive and boots, the Dragon Fly Hive has 8 Wyverns. I forget to leave the boots on Shakti, and together with all the artifacts and army they go to another front. Minotaurs are upgraded. Grechin takes the third Dragon Fly Hive, and it's again 8 Wyverns. Grechin with earth, air, and armor.
122 - Grechin takes a medusa dwelling on 6, Tunar disperses monks for the Mantle of Abandonment, the army goes to Shakti, on the way I check the Griffin Conservatory, 3-4 with Grand Strike, I don't send the scout hero in. Shakti hits 20 rocs for a pandora with 10k experience. There's expert earth, they give Log and Pathfinding. Immediately hit the Griffin Conservatory, tier 3, without losses. All this is done without artifacts, left in the castle. At home GM1.
123 - Another 2 medusa dwellings with scout heroes, also on 6. Shakti finally with artifacts, on dragons and angels kills a crowd of crusaders for a 3-3 shield, then takes the Dragon Fly Hive, which is again 8 Wyverns. I reveal КО, a crowd of red dragons. At home GM2.
124 - Grechin takes the gold mine, the army goes to Shakti, also I transfer him 2 levels from home, there's Lightning Bolt and Blind. A dragon is built and recruited at home. I check КО with a scout hero, there's Grand Strike. I decide that -3 dragons are worth the scout hero, and I take out another one. Then we attack, 4 chaos dragons, 3 angels, 31 wyverns, 20 upgraded minotaurs and junk. I give away all the gnolls, lizardmen, 70 troglodytes, but without losses in the strike force. Could have lost less, but I was really afraid they'd go for the minotaurs or dragons. Immediately take the central Citadel, then КО to the left respawn, in the form of 10-19 upgraded hydras. A prison with Alamar level 10, Golden Bow, sum of +750 gold. On the grass respawn a Dragon Fly Hive is revealed behind a crowd of wizards. I check with a look, the respawn is not the opponent's. And I discover that the opponent's respawn is to the right of me, exactly where a helm +6 to all stats is visible behind the medusas. So it lay there until the end of the game)
125 - Tunar takes a Dragon Fly Hive on 4 Wyverns, Alamar hits a gnome hut. Shakti on the way to the treasure zone takes a hydra dwelling, then a Dragon Fly Hive on 4, and I stand in front of 10-19 upgraded bears for a pandora and a wagon of resources. At home 1k. A Dragon Utopia is revealed in the treasure zone, but no direct passage is visible.
126 - I kill the bears, the pandora has 20k experience. Then upgraded hydras for the Library. Then some other КО, a crowd of hydras. They offer Wisdom, but I prefer to advance Air for vision. The opponent is not visible yet, I go to the central swamp, scout heroes scout the grass respawn, nothing interesting. At home some crap.
127 - Another Dragon Fly Hive on 4 Wyverns, Dragon Tooth Necklace for ifrits, then 91 unicorns for a bunch of stuff, but the main interest is Dragon Armor, 4-4. Also a pandora for 10k gold. I take the central swamp, build GM1. At home Castle. Nella pops out and casts Town Portal. I see a power stack of archangels, combat stats aren't impressive, but the Cuirass +10 is clearly noticeable. Not scary, I have the Cloak of the Undead King.
131 - Army delivery, I take the pandora with all fire spells, but without Wisdom I only learn Fire Wall. Oh well, screw it. Then a hive, don't remember the size anymore.
After 60 dread knights for a necklace +3 to all stats and a Dragon Utopia. The Dragon Utopia is mini, gives the Speaker's Hat. Seems not bad, but nearby there's a book of air lying around. Immediately Dimension Door to the hive for 2 crystal dragons, I take it.
I think about what to upgrade, dragons or wyverns. 8 dragons, 54 wyverns.
132 - At home GM3, in the treasure zone I take the book of air (might come in handy, and the enemy won't get it) and a sword +6 behind a hundred pits. I camp with advanced intellect in the center of the swamp. Built a chain home, scout heroes eat resources they see.
133 - Dragons travel home along the chain, I build the cat upgrade for now. Shakti takes another 2 hives in the treasure zone, a couple of Cyclops stockpiles, and flies to his own respawn. I contemplate how to steal the helm +6 from the enemy's respawn. Wyverns in the center of the swamp.
134 - Dragon upgrade, just enough gold. Grechin takes the home Dragon Utopia, there's a shield +12 and Captain's Hat. Dimension Door to Shakti, he goes back to the treasure zone. At home another hive is burned, I plan to take it with a couple of hydras. Shakti gets ready to take another Dragon Fly Hive in the treasure zone and move for the helm. But Nella disrupts the plans, running in with a group of archangels.
135 - I check Nella, 18 archangels(!), 48 crusaders, 8 wyverns, single units. Stats there - 9-19-20-10, no Tactics. I think I need to fight if I can reach him. I manage to reach him with Dimension Door and Fly, though not much mana left. I forget that upgrading 70 wyverns is expensive and there isn't enough gold for all. I upgrade 48. I attack with the Cloak of the Undead King, of course. My stats - 19-32-9-10. 8 black dragons, 16 scorpicores, 34 upgraded minotaurs, 3 angels, 48 upgraded wyverns, 22 non-upgraded, a few medusas. I set up with Tactics, opponent apparently expected me to charge the archangels, and cast Mass Shield. The archangels get Blinded, then everything else is knocked out, opponent quits. Thanks for the game.
