Apologies for the long absence... there were reasons for that, I'm already catching up, played one, started 2.
25.05.2012. Fellshut (blue, Necropolis, Galthran, Galthran) def Captain (Red, Conflux, random, Moner) Jebus cross 125
We started almost without restarts.
111 - Galthran with 2 stacks, under the main for 100+ Centaurs Pandora, zombies built, second hero arrived with Troglodytes - I place the Converter, a prison nearby, I get another hero with Troglodytes, as a result by the end of the turn 170 skeletons, the Pandora gave 5k experience, I experted Necromancy, got Earth magic, dispersed with 6 heroes mainly along the roads in 2 directions.
112 - No end in sight to the roads, but there are decent pickups right on them, behind the Wolf Riders another Pandora for 5k experience, I advance Earth magic, take Logistics and Offense, an external dwelling of Necro Horses, 2 more lit on the other side off-road and on the road.
113 - All the army continues moving in one direction along the endless road, skeletons barely accumulate due to losses in the external dwelling and blocking 8 Scorpicores for a Pandora with another 10k experience - I expert almost everything I have, only 200 skeletons, Liches arrived in the main, I started slowly clearing the small fry with the second Necromancer, I lit up the ГО - Castle upgraded Horses, but Archangels are nearby, though they don't have to be fought on one of the roads.
114 - Took another external dwelling of Necro Horses! Still on the same road, finally saw a secondary town, but didn't take it, set up a chain back, on the other side of the spawn scouts are running around to explore.
115 - Took the secondary town, Galthran got beaten up, the chain didn't arrive in time due to a severe lack of money to buy back Galthran who urgently needed to replenish mana (miscalculation ;( ), one of the chain heroes moved off to collect gold.
116 - Theoretically, I could have already moved towards the ГО, but as practice shows, on huge spawns it's better to gather as much stuff as possible than to rush headlong into the treasure zone, which almost always turns out to be small in such cases. So I sent Galthran to one side (where, due to my stupidity, he wasted a turn doing nothing) and sent the army to the second part of the spawn, to 2 external dwellings of Necro Horses and 2 Dragon Fly Hives.
117 - With a scout, I reveal 2 more Dragon Fly Hives, Galthran waits near the Unicorns to clear guards +2 all with growth, on the fly some not-so-successful chains are arranged.
121 - I exchange a bunch of resources at the external market to buy and upgrade the Horses, new heroes and skeletons for the front with Galthran, who, after clearing guards, stands at the big Dragon Fly Hive and waits for more meat, on the other side of the map things are bad, the planned Dragon Fly Hives are far from each other, neutrals get a lot of morale, the chain barely drags, I realize I'm stuck there for at least 2-3 turns.
122 - Near one of the Dragon Fly Hives behind 20+ Citadel Birds a Pandora, hoping for meat or gold I clear it, more morale... they give an entire 4th level to a Witch with pathetic stats, I leave her mana so I can at least Town Portal the army later instead of building a chain, Galthran enters the Library.
123 - I take the remaining Dragon Fly Hives, from a stack of 350 skeletons that went into the chain only 150 remain... just terrible, I can't Town Portal in time, built chains to exit into the treasure zone next turn, though Galthran himself was tempted by a small Pandora not far from the exit and lost a lot of MP even with the next turn.
124 - Town Portal, upgrade, chains, a Griffin Conservatory single nearby the exit, army - 40 Wyverns, 19 upgraded Horses, 2 unupgraded, 350 skeletons, I break the ГО Horses and immediately see a Citadel town behind the ГО Archangels, I decide to fight because Galthran is running out of MP and needs to regenerate mana, the tactic given after the Horses was very useful, but still the skeletons were cut down to 300, here I make a serious mistake, instead of sending a fast scout further down the road, I immediately sit in the town and build a Mage Guild, well who could have thought that the opponent, whose army in the tavern showed it wasn't on the folder, was standing one turn away from me on a fast route... sad, I have nothing to catch him with, but some meat is visible and a turn back the stats were low, there is hope, I build MG4 for the Chain Lightning scroll on Galthran, I sit down - I wait.
125 - The opponent makes a bold move and attacks me, FB - the opponent has 60 mana SM - 6, while I have Chain Lightning with 13, as he himself said - didn't expect there to be 40 Wyverns. The opponent, unknowingly, broke the rules and upgraded a 6th level, but even that wouldn't have helped him. Thanks for the game
