What a game that was!
111-117 Kalt with three stacks in the underground, so 32 Gogs from the start. Resources were mediocre, plus I had to break ranged blocks. On day two, Gurnisson appeared and started leveling. Mid-first week I took native Conflux (whose heroes, with their shooter, minused me 20 Gogs), plus an external market, which ultimately let me get to Efreeti in the Citadel.
121-127 Second week. Right away I lose the Efreeti to 50 Marksmen =( I take max Dwarf Cottages and break into the central portal. There, Boots right behind the Ice Elementals and a center village (which turned out to be key). Gurn already has expert Ballistics and basic Earth. Mid-week, I beat 14 Champions for a Dragon Fly Hive +6 and 30 Trolls for a Dragon Fly Hive +8. I have 14 Wyverns, 3 Efreeti, 7 Pit Fiends. I beat 64 upgraded Basilisks for 15k exp. Expert Logistics and I got Air Magic. Dragon Fly Hive +8 and I kill the Necro comp. The Necro has a Griffin Conservatory +2, and on the last day, I take Dima's Necro comp with the Capitol! Dima has 1 Castle, and I'm sure of victory.
131-137 Cleared Naga Banks, income of 9k, impressive! I took another Dragon Fly Hive, reanimated a few Skeletons, and headed to Dima! On the way, I broke a chain of Unicorns knowing he was in the treasure zone, but I miscalculated and on 135 didn't manage to put on the Boots, which on 136 stopped me from capturing his Castle without troops, which was basically GG. In the end, I camped right under his Castle. He recalled home and holed up.
137 I look... 50+ Marksmen, Angels, Champions, Wyverns — in short, useless to fight. For some reason I killed a couple of Unicorns and ran away... Oh, and I shouldn't have done that!!! He had the Gloves and Logs, caught me, blinded the Wyverns... In short, I played the final battle terribly, losing all my meat (27 Wyverns, 3 Angels, 6 Efreeti, 12 Pit Fiends, 200 Skeletons, + lost a level 18 hero with Tactics, Attack, Earth, Air, Logs... plus gave him the Boots, Necklace of Swiftness, Sword, Helm... basically everything! I only killed 6 Champions, 10-20 Marksmen, and 5 Knights... So we saved there...
141 ... I pulled myself together. He had the whole war machine and Valeska with 3500 MP... I started gathering a war machine from two Necro castles. Luckily there was a Necro, then a second one came. And I had Kalt with expert Earth and Attack... so I started pushing further. 100 Skeletons, 3 Drakes, and 11 Necro Champions as a good start.
141-147 I took a Conservatory +3, killed the Tower comp (at the cost of two Angels... I decided to go at 3 Bird Men, but there was a full devourer... barely survived with an Angel at 20 hp.) Dima only on 145 !!! came to me, for some reason traveling through rough terrain, wasting precious time, gathering resources with his main. In short, doing nonsense.
147 3 Necros raised 450 Skeletons (with the home comp's boost). Dragons in the Castle of both castles + an external dwelling for Dragons... At home, Devils in the Castle!!!
211 .... um... Plague Week... !!!! AaahAAAAAAAaaaaaa... well damn... In short, my growth of 7 Dragons went down the drain (plus one unclaimed...) 8 Necro Champions too, down the drain... in short, all down the drain!!!! crap... well, I survived somehow and kept playing. I have a scroll with Dimension Door, thinking about level 5 Mage Guild.
211-217 Dima finally got a clue and started taking castles. (while still moving his main through rough terrain, gathering resources. Turns out he had a scroll with Fly and was building a Mage Guild... In short, in one week I had 1200 Skeletons, collected the Elixir! 20 Wyverns, and on 217, the Tower gave me Town Portal.
222 Broke a Dragon Utopia
223 Another Dragon Utopia + took Dima's main with two Angels. Surrender follows. Always fight to the end!!!
