12.11.2013 The_ (red, Conflux, Labetha, Gunnar) def twaryna (blue, Castle, Caitlin, Tazar) JC, 126
We each took one rest and started playing.
Stables near the castle, good spread of 8 heroes (though because the stables were off-road, the heroes themselves didn't spread far), Nymus arrived, I'm thinking of leveling him. The next day I find Gunnar, 5 Dragon Fly Hives already revealed at the respawn.
Until day 115 I was exclusively gathering, because two roads were blocked, one to the ГО (for variety, just a day's travel from the castle), the other to the secondary, so consequently less gold than usual. After clearing crypts, ant mounds, picking up artifacts +4 attack and +4 defense, Gunnar stood on a chest I found (I was really hoping for experience, since Gunnar was level 3 by day 116). Thanks to built air elementals - birds were ready by day 116, which predetermined things, without birds the hives definitely wouldn't have started being taken, since the first two were max and pre-max. Breaking through two hives, I advance Gunnar's ducks, who takes a Pandora's Box for all water magic... without Wisdom of course, though it's not critical, water is water. An external dwelling of psychos and another Dragon Fly Hive were found there as well. On day 117 I collect another 4 hives and an external dwelling of birds, Gunnar stands on the stables not far from a Dragon Utopia.
On day 121 I have 60 ducks, a level 1 Dragon Utopia which gives a bottle + sphere of Earth, there's a helm of +10 Knowledge, picked up from the ground behind the vampires. On day 122 Gunnar fills mana in the well before the ГО, on day 123 breaks bone dragons. For three days in the treasure zone, I eat a couple of hives, collect stat artifacts, two books of Earth, one of Air + bracers, a couple of libraries, several Dragon Utopias, chests for experience, 15 Wyverns, 6 Hydras, 60 Lizardmen. Though I play battles carelessly, either exposing my ducks or burning them myself, in the end I lose about 15. On day 125 Tazar flies through the ГО and ends up 400 movement from the central castle (it never even crossed my mind that this could be his ГО, since neither the resources nor the artifacts lying before the ГО were picked up)
With Dimension Door and Fly, I take a couple of goodies and Town Portal to the Tower, from where I attack Tazar, there mana is at zero, with an army of 75 ducks there's simply nothing to hit with, stats are also dismal, Fireball is a formality.
As the "autopsy" showed, the content was also not bad (a couple of Griffin Conservatories, Dragon Fly Hives, two external dwellings of Angels, 4 external dwellings of horses, +3 to speed), but the roads and blocks on those roads buried the whole game, from the castle to the ГО, not counting the blocks, it would have taken 4 days to run, maybe more.
Thanks for the game!
I confirm. What ruined me was the external dwelling of Angels revealed on day 111 and a Griffin Conservatory nearby (as it turned out, behind mountains and blocked), +2 speed behind the golems, and Tazar. Overall the respawn content was good, as The said, but the roads really killed the game. The block on the road where all the goodies were - upgraded Cyclopes behind the library and a bunch were only broken through on day 121. There wasn't enough gold, so the papal construction of horses in the Citadel + 2 external dwellings of horses and 1 of Angels. At the start of week 2 I took 2 pre-max hives, 2 libraries, an external dwelling of horses and Angels, and 2 Griffin Conservatories 1+4. I only reached the ГО by day 126, right before the ГО I ate a Pandora's Box for all level 4. I broke through Black Dragons, Cyclopes, and Rust Dragons and died in the center. Thanks for the game!
