25.01.2013. antoshkin (red, castle, Valeska, Moner) def Egor Koroeinikov (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Edric) 2sm4d(3).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I took all restarts. Had to play whatever came, and IT CAME!
111 Slow roads. Moner is sitting in the tavern. There’s an experience stone under the castle. Klavius got Earth, but I decided to make Moner the main hero and didn’t regret it. Starting
troops are very good - Moner came with 8 gremlins ^_^
112 With scouting I reveal 2 Griffin Conservatories - one fatty, the other a single one, a couple of dwarf cottages and crypts, stables along the road. The respawn is very big. There’s an external dwelling for spearmen and archers.
But I only took the archers on 117.
113-114 I take the single Griffin Conservatory and break through to the secondary. I find 2 more Griffin Conservatories in the far corner.
115 I send a scout hero to capture the Inferno secondary, but treasure zone guards block the passage there (( The second secondary is also blocked by a stack of Eyes behind a Pandora’s Box. I’m left with one castle.
116-117 I build, collect resources.
121-122 I take the dwarf cottage with Klavius. I level Moner before taking the Griffin Conservatory.
123 I take the nearest Griffin Conservatory (three stacks) with an upgraded stack. In the first round one stack got moraled and blocked my archers, “Good thing it’s not max,” I thought
:) I get defeated and replenish GG’s mana.
124 I sent the army to take the upper Griffin Conservatories.
125 I take the single and three-stack Griffin Conservatories with the scout hero. By 126 I have 11 angels ^_^
126 I break the Eye behind the Pandora’s Box - there’s 11500 experience :D From the skills I get offered all sorts of junk - I take Air.
127 In the underground near the Inferno secondary I plan to hit the fairies for the grail (+6) and take the Dragon Utopia by 131. But the opponent breaks the GO from Bone Dragons and
stops in the middle of the clearing. In the FB he has 3 angels (another 1 with the scout hero oO), 13 rocs, and fifty elves; Moner reaches him and the stack of 11 angels decides the game. GG
As the map generator showed, both got chocolate, but I got more chocolate. Egor had 1 external dwelling of grand elves and 2 external dwellings of rocs under his castle, 3 Griffin Conservatories on his respawn, also
111 29 grand elves (15 came with heroes - 5, 6, Ivor, and another 4 with the native, plus 7 from the external dwelling). Also revealed a Griffin Conservatory and a roc dwelling. That doesn’t get restarted.
Opponent took all restarts.
117 1-6 all dwellings captured in the castle. There are 2 leveled heroes.
121 I break the single one with just rocs; Ivor goes to the 2nd Griffin Conservatory. (I immediately bought all - 50 grand elves and 16 rocs by 121).
123 I break the 2-stack; the chain didn’t work out; the 2nd hero has Earth.
124 I split my forces with the 2nd hero and go to kill the opponent.
125 The 2nd hero stands on the nagabank at the GO; Ivor goes to take the last Griffin Conservatory.
126 I break GO and enter the opponent’s base.
127 Moner attacks me with 11 angels, 5 champions, and 48 marksmen.
Postmortem
First, the opponent had an Inferno treasure zone right next to the secondary (it takes just as long to reach the secondary as the +6 all helm, and a +5 all sword was visible along the way.)
Also right next to the main was a treasure zone containing a Dragon Utopia that gave the +4 +4 armor, +4 all shield, and +2 all boots - almost Haven without leaving home.
If I had collected all the angels on the map, I would have had 7. The opponent had 11 on his respawn and another 5 on his secondary, which I would have to reach through rough terrain. Total 16 angels.
The Dragon Utopia reveal showed that my good loot was a +3 necklace and wings; the rest gave neither stats nor control (2 Dragon Utopias, one max).
So if I had dragged out the game, by 135 Moner would be running around with 20 archers, a red orb, and stats of 35+.
If I had broken the GO one day earlier, I would have had a chance; but as it is, I don’t know how to play such layouts.
Plus all this, Moner on slow roads. :smile04: :smile04: (I saw Moner, but one Moner from the opponent isn’t enough to make me restart).
Thanks for the game.
Added after 2 minutes
In short, I know how to win - I needed to break the GO without the oil, Ivor had that tactic, just on 124, but the losses would have been significant
