03.09.2013 HellLighT(red, necro, Galthran) def ProtosArchon(blue, Citadel, Crag) Jebus cross 123

Opp picked all the rests, I picked none. After killing my first super chocolate, all 3 layouts come with 3 stacks, a very large and rich respawn. I immediately kill 36 griffins for +2+2 cloak and gloves, then right after the boars a Pandora's Box with 5k XP. But Galthran, that dog, let me down with the skill progression—at first he decided he wanted to study intensively, then it occurred to him that he was a Hydromancer and wanted to control the magical water flows :( Then there was a tough fight against 40 vampires with Haste, where I lost a very large part of the meat, and got 20 basic vamps in return—annoying, but oh well, I'd call it a fair trade. I took the Necromancy Amplifier for Liches, the Arena, and I was 1 step short of reaching the Dragon Fly Hive. I decided to take a low-level hero with stats 0 0 5 5 without scouting, Maxima! Again, they let me screw up nicely) We killed the horses, info from the village gave 40 skeletons and 6 vampires. Meanwhile, in the opposite corner of the respawn, which also happened to be the opposite corner of the map oO, I find 4 Griffin Conservatories next to the road. I rejoice and starting on 116 I take them one by one for a total of 10 Angels. I also find boots, and on 121 I take a Dragon Utopia(2) without issue—it gives +5 all and a bag, Library, Splitting. On 122, on the way to the ГО, another Dragon Utopia(2) with Water Resistance and a +12 shield. In total, on 123, I break out into the treasure zone with 19 Wyverns, 10 Angels, 400 Skeletons, and 13 Liches, with stats 15 26 15 13. I immediately kill the cats for a Dragon Fly Hive and an Air Book, but I don't have enough moves to take it without Pathfinding. However, I do have enough to take a prison, and there is a splendid Shakti with everything needed and 50 mana. I pick up the book, Fly, max Dragon Fly Hive. Nearby is a Sphere of Inhibition and Dimension Door back to Galthran. I run further and see another prison, but I'm 100 moves short of freeing the hero. Nearby is a Pandora's Box with Wings for Dreads. I stay the night. On my turn, word comes of a surrender—there's nothing but sorrow and gloom to be had there. thx for game.

Knocked out all the rests, got a decent respawn, but rather poor, tried to go for angels in the castle, but only got them on turn 116 and even then with a trade, had to use turn 115 to break through to a part of the respawn with the last village by fighting with 3 monks, 50 spearmen, and 4 swordsmen with a line formation, 2 blocks of simple ogres of 30 and 40 each, fortunately the terrain saved me a second time, used all 3 parts of the elixir, though the last one was in the very corner, no conflux, but there were 5 Dragon Fly Hives and an external dwelling of angels, on turn 121 I buy 5 angels and dive into the naga stash without looking, and there's a maximum stack, with 2-3 morale procs per round, overall a loss, but I decided to fight to the end - full trade, buy back Gunnar, the last angel, and run to the first Dragon Fly Hive, lucky - turned out to be 6 wyverns, then a pandora's box with 20 crusaders and then gather the elixir, the Dragon Fly Hives turned out quite nice - totalling 32 wyverns, spent a long time looking for slow, kept resetting fights, so I only emerged on turn 125 where I immediately caught my opponent, in the final fight my opponent has an advantage in raw army plus genies from a pandora's box split into 3 stacks and buffing, my 36 mana against his 19, also saved by the elixir and minus morale triggering twice in time on the wyverns, the exchange went down to 4 wyverns each, opponent buys back, I take control of the trade post, with growth I buy angels and fodder, took the external dwelling of giants on turn 2, then a Dragon Fly Hive with 8 wyverns and a pandora's box with 10 nagas, next turn I collect the sphere of prohibition, KO, the hat, all level 5, and take the central tower, my opponent, who had all this scouted, surrenders, thanks for the game.

Opponent immediately denied all restarts, putting me before a tough choice. Fork near the main on two roads – one is immediately blocked by 20+ Gogs behind a Shield of the Damned + Refugio, with a Griffin Conservatory right next to it. With a scout hero I find an overlook and see... another 3 Griffin Conservatories, all close by, Sword +5 All, except behind yet another block of 20+ Archmagi guarding a Dragon Utopia with resources. The only way left is to go through wasteland and downwards, bypassing another mage block to a village. I was still thinking about taking a restart or diving into the Gogs to sacrifice myself, since the Lizardmen weren't built and I put Flies on 111, but I found a hut with a Log. Restarts still at 112, so I decided to try breaking through the next day... which I did quite successfully. Spent 1000 on +1 Spellpower for Aislin, tricked the Gogs – there turned out to be about 30 minus 6 pieces – placed those same Gogs in the main and finished off their remnants decently. In the Refugio there were Gold Golems, which came in very handy in the Griffin Conservatory(1) near the main... A couple of turns gathering chests with Tazar (surprisingly fat ones, every single one) gave Offense and Earth to the Log – superb. The scout hero found 2 Dragon Fly Hives through the wasteland. On 114 the Griffin Conservatory is taken with the loss of 2 Gold and a bit of meat. Next turn I chain-transfer to the Dragon Fly Hives, eat my way to the first one – it shines 50+ – I go to the second and dive in without looking, because losing tempo if I don't take either of them equals a throw. It turned out excellent – 8 Wyverns, though they devoured everything except an Angel and 20 Gnolls. I immediately dive into the second, and there auto-battle shows a loss... the maximum – barely scraped through, luck proc'd once on morale and once on luck from the starting clover :smile51:, I came out with 2 Wyverns. HELL. While running nearby I revealed the 6th Griffin Conservatory (the 5th was revealed earlier up the road behind the Gogs on the second turn), but the chain didn't line up under it, so on 116 without any pangs of conscience I head back to the KINDLED WINGS for the Ogres!!! On the way I upgrade 16 Wyverns. Tazar takes another Griffin Conservatory(1). I wanted to break into the main immediately and replenish mana, but I noticed a couple of stat-boosters along the road, and a bit further – 20+ Liches behind 2 Pandora's Boxes :smile28: I stayed overnight near them. On 117 I take the Wings, beat the Liches, Pandora's for 5+10k experience – superb. Tazar finishes all his leveling and gets Scholar with Wisdom. I break into the main, replenish mana, and on 121 with a ready wonderful chain I collect 3 Griffin Conservatories, Sword +5 All, Dragon Utopia(1, gave a level 5 Cap), and here I make a mistake – I jump left (where I thought the ГО was, but it turned out to be up a winding road :smile18:). On 121 I sit Tazar down to replenish again, since mana is already at 150, and in the meantime I eat the previously untaken 6th Griffin Conservatory(4)! Total: 12 Angels and 14 Wyverns + under 100 Gnolls, a dozen Gogs, and a stack of Serpents. The ГО turned out to be Giants with a strong stack, but way too far away – full speed at 2600 MP with Dimension Door diagonally, cutting around a giant loop on the road, barely enough to get out of the respawn zone. On 124 I see that the opponent has gained 2 towns immediately, since he had 2 fewer than me before, now more – I realized I had to charge straight at him with a powerful army and an Explosion at 1200, which I successfully managed to do. In the finals, after the Explosion hits the main stack of 24 Wyverns, a surrender follows. Thanks for the game!

09.09.2013 HellLighT (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Crag) def Piterius (red, Necro, random, Charna) Mini-nostalgia 125

We started without restarts, Shakti with two stacks, a tiny respawn with 7 quest guards planted along the road, 2 portals and 2 roads to Conflux and the central treasure zone, Griffin Conservatory (1) and Dragon Fly Hive with a scroll blocking the path to the portals, I took the Conservatory on 112 because I was upgrading the Harpies that were built right away, I captured the Conflux only on 114, but the computer didn't manage to mess up the bird construction, which I was incredibly glad about, the scout revealed a little piece of +5 all in the Conflux's treasure zone, there was also an external market and a stable, after collecting all the goodies from the corners, Crag grabbed Artillery and Earth magic + quickly and successfully mastered the latter, it turned out that the +5 all was blocked by 50+ Fanatics, and there was even a scroll lying nearby, and besides that there was nothing else in that "treasure zone" at all, on 117 I take the Dragon Fly Hive (8), transfer everything to Shakti who had Advanced Offense and starting Defense and with a growth of 4 birds and a full stack of Troglodytes I attack, the Fanatics turn out to be 71, they gave me a beating — -100 Trogs -3 Wyverns -7 Water Elementals and I got off easy at that, the bird had 13 HP left and the angel 28, who would have thought that a MISFORTUNE scroll was lying nearby!:smile51: . Meanwhile, Crag went to clear the Dragon Fly Hive (8) and sent scout heroes into the portals, in one of them there was immediately a Stronghold town, which I didn't hesitate to occupy with a scout hero carrying an angel and a bunch of Beholders, but it turned out not to be simple, he jumped out of the darkness into the portal and took my main town :D luckily I hadn't upgraded it, but it was still annoying, I took it back, stalled a bit with Crag and decided to go through the central treasure zone anyway (which turned out to be even worse in value than the one I was in, I picked up one minimal Dragon Fly Hive) because on 124 I considered it fairly tempo-efficient, and the opponent from the tavern wasn't revealing anything, I ramped up, at the start of 125, from the scouted area near Citadel I found a Conservatory, took it and it turned out to be a triple — great, though -2 Wyverns, returned everything to Crag and calmly broke through to the opponent's capital, who was already having as bad a time as possible, and then guests arrive, surrender follows, thanks for the game.

He’s doing pretty well on the throne :D

Started without restarts, Shakti with two stacks, a tiny respawn with 7 quest guards placed along the road, 2 portals and 2 roads to Conflux and the central treasure zone, Griffin Conservatory(1) and Dragon Fly Hive with a scroll blocking the passage to the portals, took the conservatory on 112, because I was upgrading harpies which were built immediately, captured Conflux only on 114, but the computer didn't manage to ruin the bird building, which I was incredibly glad about, scouting revealed a bit of +5 all in the Conflux treasure zone, there was also an external marketplace and stables, after gathering all the goodies in the corners, Crag got Artillery and Earth+ quickly and successfully experted the latter, it turned out that +5 all was blocked by 50+ fanatics, and there was a scroll lying nearby, besides that there was nothing at all in that "treasure zone", on 117 I take the Dragon Fly Hive(8), transfer everything to Shakti who had Advanced Offense and starting Defense and with a growth of 4 birds and a full stack of Troglodytes I attack, the fanatics turn out to be 71, they gave me pain, -100 Troglodytes -3 Wyverns -7 Water Elementals and that was still a light punishment, 13 HP left on the bird and 28 on the angel, who would have thought that a scroll of MISFORTUNE was lying nearby!:smile51: . Crag meanwhile went to break through the Dragon Fly Hive(8) and sent scout heroes into the portals, in one of them there was an immediate Stronghold town, which I didn't fail to occupy with a scout hero carrying an angel and a pack of Beholders, but it turned out to be tricky, he jumped out of the darkness into the portal and took my main :D luckily I hadn't rebuilt it, but still it was a shame, I recaptured it, dithered a bit with Crag and decided to go through the central treasure zone anyway (which turned out to be even worse in terms of loot than the one I was in, I picked up one minimal Dragon Fly Hive) because on 124 I considered it quite tempo, and the opponent from the tavern wasn't showing anything promising, I ramped up, by the start of 125, with the revealed scouting near the Citadel I found a Griffin Conservatory, took it, it turned out to be a triple - super, though -2 Wyverns, returned everything to Crag and calmly broke through to the opponent's capital, who was already having a worse time of it, and then guests arrived, surrender follows, thanks for the game.

I confirm. I fell for the speed boost and a decent starting army. But I didn't expect such dreariness on all four respawns. No money, no caches, no conservatories, no Dragon Fly Hives. I went into the treasure zone, got beaten up there, and then the opponent showed up.

Thanks for the game!

Gave a vague restart on 112 of a decent setup due to a long winding road, then 111 from darkello against my 200 Troglodytes and off we went, again 3 stacks, but without the second native, Surface, but with no hideouts or decent roads, however got lucky with a portal along the road, it turned out to be four-way, quickly and surprisingly easily took over the computers, a couple of times just used Lizardmen with a tiny army quite successfully, income grew, Scouting Posts lit up everywhere, Shakti caught and leveled Earth Magic by the end of the week, Slow was given in the Mage Guild, but no Griffin Conservatory, only spotted a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, ran around, decided to settle down and build Angels in the Castle by the end of the second week, and then luck struck, on the Kastal's respawn there was a Griffin Conservatory(3), in the end with long chains collected 3 Dragon Fly Hives for 26 Wyverns, built Angels, and on 131 ate the Griffin Conservatory from the Stables, nearby passage to a Dragon Utopia, on 132 I enter it, and it's the maximum! but gathered a secondary stack of 6 Angels and 26 Wyverns, 60 Harpies 100 Troglodytes 6 Minotaurs, stats 13 10, Shield Stone Skin, in short I go in, came out with the loss of the entire secondary stack -1 Angel -2 Wyverns, gave Clover Ring, Cape of Velocity, Hat of Fifth Level, and Shield +12-3, built Archangels, Grendaned, immediately flew to collect the missing Elixir parts at the respawn, and on 133 the opponent appears with a batch of 2 Angels, I cover and kill, there didn't even have time for Aotd to trigger, thanks for the game.
