was testing a SoD build with the Spirit of Despair.

What do you think the result will be without the Spirit of Despair, using the same maxed-out army with Grand Sorcerer and 20 Grand Sorcerers? :smile04:

at maximum difficulty, the chance of losing is high; increasing morale to 20 will only increase losses, but I don't think it's critical.

If you enjoy staying in your castle and not venturing out until you've built the Capitol and reached level 7, then good luck to you.

I think you're being too optimistic. IMO, at maximum difficulty with Giants, losing is 100%, and with 20 morale, more than half of the battles will be lost. Although, I might be wrong about the latter; we need to see and test it ourselves.

If you like to sit in your castle and not leave until you've built the Capitol and reached level 7, then good luck to you.

That's exactly what I always do because without building the Capitol, I have nothing to buy an army with to take the Dwarven mines, and without level 7, I can't take the Dwarven mines:smile12:

That's exactly how I always do it, because without building up the capital, there's nothing to buy an army with to take the Dwarf Mines, and without level 7, I can't take the Dwarf Mines:smile12:

So, in our game, you didn't take the Dwarf Mines in the free-for-all?))

In general, I checked, there were not 40 golems, but 30. They fought against 30 troglodytes, 1 serpent, and 35 archers. The dwarf hero fought against 22 goblins, 15 dwarves, and 38 archers. I wrote the report in a hurry right after the game, hence the inaccuracies. The hero's stats were 2, 7.

My autosaves didn't seem to save properly. Could you upload your saves from that game? I'd be happy to take a look, and I think others would be interested too.

So in our game of Bezpredel, you didn't pick Dwarf Cottage?))

It wasn't me playing :smile04:
P.S. Damn, you always blow the whole outfit's cover :D

post the saves from the game, I'd watch them myself with pleasure, and everyone else is interested too

I think the best solution would be to upgrade the Lizardmen and then take any of the Dwarves. Regular Lizardmen and upgraded ones are two different units. Your K.O. :cool:

Without saves, it's hard to guess, but here are some options for the second week:
a) The army is far away, and it's problematic to move it back and forth for upgrades;
b) There's simply not enough money to buy and upgrade units!

10.03.2013. MaxGor (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) lose GoD (red, Castle, Valeska, Vistan) 6lm10a 143
Took all the respawns and started playing on luck. In the tavern, Laura; no harpies, appeared in the underground, so no money either. Took the external troglodytes, saw the external minotaurs, but there's also a campfire and a horde covered by 10+ griffins, can't be taken on the first week((( Head to the far portal, try to make a respawn on the encounter, but there's a pink computer... Take its Castle without a fight and stay on its respawn on the 2nd week to farm money. Meanwhile, the opponent takes out the Inferno computer. On the 3rd week, I find my native town. Finally take the external minotaurs, emerge into the surface, and from the scout view see how GoD, having 10+ angels, takes a Dragon Utopia. On the 4th week, the opponent presents his factory for producing demons and skeletons in one person, but I fight with a loser army and my own losses are also heavy. Take a Castle from the computer, but there are no angels((( Saw 2 confluences the entire game, both behind walls, so there's nothing to counter GoD's angels. Capitulate.
Thanks for the game

In that video there is a small nuance: Yabarkas with 12 orcs was hired in addition to Vistan, and a fair number of gnolls also arrived (this is with starting Vistan).
In SoD, a large Dwarf Cottage on the first [week] is confidently taken only with a hydra, thanks to its abilities, or if there are additional troops from pickups.

approximately took on the fly 40 gnolls 25 gr lizards 3 musketmen losses 7-9 gnolls 1 musketman Vistan level 5 with expert archery although not strictly critical

12.03.2012 aka.Ward3n (blue,rampart,Kyrre,Galtran) lose wowa (red,Fortress,Tazar,Tazar) 2.1.4 on 6lm10a
111 start with 5 heroes, Gosha is in the tavern, I decide to go Necro
by the end of the week Gosha is lvl 8, expert earth, armor, necro, houses 1-6 in castle.
Until 127 I tried some way to somehow buy back what was there, enduring attacks from the computer's Tselka. At 127 I take the castle village and see 5-9 cavalry guarding the Dragon Utopia.
131. Buy up castle growth, break through 10 cavalry, scout the minimum for the Dragon Utopia. I decide to take it without growth even on the 2nd week. Came out with 120 skeletons, they gave shield+4all cloak+2+2 necklace+1 spell duration and legion head.
All 3rd week I collected what I saw at the computer's respawn.
142. Take second Dragon Utopia (3), they give kv,kvz,sphere of vulnerability and sphere against dispel.
143-144 go underground, see 3rd Dragon Utopia. Check if Dimension Door reaches. And instead of canceling the cast I press jump:( . As a result, I have 5 mana left. Cannot return back, break through jinns for Dragon Utopia+air sphere.
No mana left for Dragon Utopia, come out of there with 200 skeletons and 11 wood. They give exactly as ordered - shackles of war, admiral's hat, levitation boots and some other trash:smile18: . Stats are nothing. And no mana to return back.
Beat sp+5 helmet+5 knowledge and get smashed leaving the rest of the army to neutrals on the way home to the computer. There I buy up birds and see Enova with power.
Of course air wasn't leveled up, so I could only use one Dimension Door. At 214 I put Goshan under Tazar's strike, so that using birds on the first turn I could throw a chain lightning for 1200+ and run away, but the opponent also has birds, he outruns me, casts mass haste and fb as a formality since his combat stats are SIGNIFICANTLY higher. And yes, throughout the whole game I didn't see a single cons(
Thanks to the opponent for the game, it was interesting.:smile02:

12.03.2012 aka.Ward3n (blue,rampart,Kyrre,Galtran) lose wowa (red,Fortress,Tazar,Tazar) 2.1.4 on 6lm10a

in this game I threw again
moreover, for the 2nd time in a row I'm throwing immediately after resuming a postponed game, on the very 1st turn! :smile18: gotta be more careful after pauses in the game :)
though, I also noticed — if the fight is on a razor's edge, the generator can deliberately deliver you a loss — in my case it was a Griffin Conservatory, where, with equal morale, the mobs' full stacks attacked repeatedly, while our morale only kicked in when we should have already been running :D plus basilisks didn't petrify even once, otherwise Taz would have popped out not through the tavern))

but there was hope they wouldn't find me right away, and would keep necromancing until the very end ;)
also, plenty of cyclops dens allowed for a very fast build-up of towers, despite a full trade of all resources in the mid-game
the first Conflux tower gave Town Portal on month 4, which was actually built for a Town Portal scroll :D month 5 had the fishing event, so the tower was essentially worthless, but the 2nd Conflux tower gave Dimension Door
plus Taz, aside from portal-ing and diving into Dragon Utopias, only ran along the roads; the chumps fought off to the side
especially helpful was Coronius with expert earth magic, who leveled up to 12
and well, the opponent either took pity, or, as it turned out, made a mistake, ran out of mana, and gave up the army to pop out, compensating for my throws))) in the utopias I got lucky with more stats, and managed to stockpile some stuff
before the final, of course, I checked the exposed Gosha for speed artifacts; if there were any, I would have built archers the next turn, while waiting with Taz in the castle
but there were no speed artifacts there; after mass haste, only 3 berserkers survived, gg, thanks to the opponent for the game :)

03/14/2012 Piterius (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def RomarioGrom (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre), 6lm10a, 113

Romario lost and surrendered somewhere.

Thank you for the game.
