01/19/2013 BadSBars (Red, Conflux, Fure, Grindan) Def Justobserver (Blue, Rampart, Ivor) 2SM4d(3) 216.
Drafting: The opponent (Blue) started the draft first, leaving 3 Castles: Rampart, Tower, and Elements! The opponent chooses the first one again :( and his choice falls on Rampart, after which I don't have many options left, and the scales tip towards the unconventional (Elements)! I get the color, and my choice was obvious: aggressive Red.
Rematches: The map generation was terribly unlucky; either it was in a terrible location or the hero was useless!
In the end, after using all my rematches, I got a random hero, Fure, and one native warrior in the tavern, so there was no choice :( I got stuck.
Week 1
After exploring the area as much as possible, I found out about 2 Air elementals and 1 Fire elemental, plus 1 Hive. There were two paths: one leading directly to the Air elemental stronghold for improved Rocs (50-99), then to 100-249 (amazing), and the other directly to the teleport. At the end of the first week, I took all the outposts, upgraded the Air elementals to Storms, built Water and Fire elementals, GM1 + Stronghold.
Week 2
After buying everything from the city and outposts, I clear the Hive, which gives +8 to creatures, then I run to the teleport, break through the guards, and see the Necropolis city. I take its artifact, the Conservatory. In the city, I built all the troops, but I didn't have enough turns for the castle, and I ran out of resources.
All battles were fought with Fure, and they were all a walk in the park. I had to make a tough decision on turn 127 and start leveling up Grindan, hoping to quickly gain Earth mastery.
Week 3
The last battle with Fure was the beginning of hope, resulting in taking the Conservatory with minimal losses (131). Grindan started his mission :) and in two battles, he became an Earth expert (132).
On turn 133, I easily took the Medusa lair (medium) and the Crypt (maximum), which gave me an artifact +1 to speed, and things started to go well :)).
On 136, I took the Naga Bank (maximum).
On 137, I took the Conservatory (maximum). In the city, I completed the castle and, most importantly, GM5 - important ones include the city portal and the dimension door.
Conclusion (result) of 3 weeks: The prospects are small because the second city was underground, judging by the map, practically under the opponent, and the path led to a crazy main guard.
I could have gone to the opponent, but I only had Lightning magic! It was decided to accumulate resources, develop, and go to other lands!!!
Week 4
141 Took the Hive (minimum) :(
144 Took the Hive with 8 Wyverns, and most importantly, I found the Pandora's Box, opened it, and found all the Fire magic!!!
146 Took 2 more Hives, each with 12, totaling +24.
211 I decide to take Utopia! I attack (minimum), it's okay, I fight, and it seems like I killed everyone, I attack the Fire Dragons with Firebirds, and one remains alive with 1 hit point, and it hits the Firebirds, they respond and burn my Ice elementals :((( I'm in shock!!! The result of the battle is -42 Ice and -16 Air, a disaster! I got the Sandals of the Saints +2 to all skills and the Hellblade +6 attack, at least something! I immediately teleport to my main city and replenish my mana.
212 I decide to go to the opponent, I run towards the main guard, I level up Grindan.
213 I transfer all the troops: Hero 14-4-16-13: 48 Ice, 44 Energy, 25 Storms, 13 Psi, 5 Angels, 42 Wyverns, 12 Firebirds. + Armageddon for 1012 damage!
I jump through the main guard towards the opponent, I run along the road, I see the city, just a little more, and I'll reach it. On the last movement points, I reach the city and wait for the opponent!!!
214 The opponent attacks. Opponent's Hero: 20-25-17-12: 63 Elven Archers, 116 Centaurs, 29 Dryads, 18 Unicorns, 34 Wyverns, 4 Angels, 3 Green Dragons.
After Armageddon, all the opponent's meat is softened, only Wyverns and Unicorns and various small creatures remain. I have 44 Energy, 34 Wyverns, and 12 Firebirds left. But the opponent's attack and defense were superior to mine, and the opponent fought for another 2 rounds, after which he fled with 10 Wyverns. I have 44 Energy (Fire), 21 Wyverns, and 4 Firebirds left.
215 I jump to the main city, replenish my ranks with 162 Faeries, 26 Earth elementals, and 5 Energy elementals. I jump to the opponent's main city and sit in the city. I wait.
216 I upgrade the Earth elementals to Magma and replenish my ranks with 26 Pegasus + I build GM3 in the opponent's main city, and I get the Anti-Magic Field spell! Since the opponent's only hope is to use Anti-Magic Field and deal 450 damage with Lightning.
The opponent attacks, and after 1 turn, he surrenders!!! GG
