14.06.2013 The_ (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def AYMAN (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3) 143.
First week - from the Castle there are many paths, even more than needed for SM. ГО on no-road. It's clear that one of the passages leads to the opponent (and that's how it turned out, Kyrre from their Castle to my Castle, running through the gate takes one turn). The opponent also has an external dwelling of elves, as it turned out later. I quickly break through to a secondary hero - native Dungeon, nothing interesting around, I defeat Shakti, run the other way - another Rampart secondary hero.
Second week, I find a Griffin Conservatory on Rampart territory. I plan to take it, I have +4 chain, +5 shield, +1+1+1+1 armor. Shakti has Advanced Earth. I have 160 Troglodytes, 21 Evil Eyes, 5 cats, Harpies. But then Kyrre pops out - I realize I won't make it back to the Castle in time, I decide to take the Griffin Conservatory, then recapture the main. Kyrre kills the scout hero guarding the Castle without any trouble and uses the Dungeon's benefits - whirlpool, built GM2, clears my respawn and immediately returns to the Castle. Meanwhile, the Griffin Conservatory breaks, it's a max-level one with Griffins, no other options, I have to fight. 15 minutes of struggle with the winged ones and their lack of morale bring 4 Angels, with the loss of 60 Troglodytes, 2 cats, all Evil Eyes, all Harpies. Then a scout hero brings news that in another part of the Rampart's respawn, there's another Griffin Conservatory, I have to choose: either try to break through home by the end of the week, but there seems to be no army and Kyrre is sitting tight there, or run to take that Griffin Conservatory, especially since Shakti has maxed Earth. I choose the second option, the Griffin Conservatory is unfortunately a min-level one. So I abandon my Castle and flee underground to the treasure zone.
Third week, the treasure zone is very stingy with meat - only 10 ducks, but there is a Book of Earth - that's it! Having fully traversed this treasure zone, I flee to the opponent's respawn, there's another Griffin Conservatory - again min-level. I manage to grab the library, already in another treasure zone, and fly home to refill mana. While Shakti was running through the treasure zone, a fierce battle for the main was underway, magic heroes and scout heroes stormed the home Castle, but the Striker resisted almost everything with its 5% :). In the end, I manage to reclaim the Castle on 136. Kyrre at this time is somewhere in another treasure zone, judging by air scrying.
Fourth week, I see Kyrre returning home, the army hasn't grown much, nor the stats. Kyrre settles in the Castle, I position Shakti at a distance to, firstly, block the underground gate for Kyrre so they can't recapture the main again, and secondly, to attack myself. Kyrre doesn't flee the Castle. Then a plan is born: attack with single Angels, blow up a couple of stacks and buy them back, then finish off. But the Castle assault went so briskly that 6 Angels, combined with Implosion and Resurrection, kill Kyrre right in the Castle, with all the meat.
Thank you for the interesting game.
