Posts from Winter 2014. Automated submission of seasonal reports.

I gave up the Luna and the external dwelling of birds for a crowd of wood, naturally didn't raise it. A respawn with trails, but rather inconvenient. As a main hero I chose Lacus, since she got a trail at level 2. In the first days, I didn't do much — there were a couple of hives but behind inconvenient guards. Behind the terrain, a trail was visible for wood, and I headed that way, driving Lacus and Luna, who stubbornly leveled Wisdom and Knowledge, through the stat boosters. On day 115, I found a hive with 8 Vivs behind 9 Master Genies and burned 18 Black Horses with Luna for +4 all, then on day 4 I ported home to regain mana, and the enemies took back the external dwelling of birds. There was also a captured dungeon, but I only noticed it when I took the external dwelling of fish, so on weeks 1 and 2, there were fish in the portal. Also at the respawn, there was a Griffin Conservatory 3 behind a group of Genies, which Lacus successfully took on day 121. In the tomb, I got another sword +2 +2. An unpleasant "ГO" — Wizards. I found a Haste scroll and there were a couple more hives, but not very convenient ones, yet I decided to take them anyway, risking a sortie on day 123 but with a speed boost. A small corridor leads to the center, and it was a 2-day run to the "ГO". At the "ГO", I took a box for 15k experience, got Earth Magic, which I immediately Expertized. A hundred Wizards fell with some meat loss, then I took a Dimension Door scroll plus a box for 4 Sidhes behind 80 Vivs.

On day 124, I took 3 hives for 28 Vivs; there were a couple of Dragon Utopias, but I didn't get distracted by them yet. On day 125, I broke through the opponent's "ГO", then headed to a Dragon Utopia, but Dessa attacks. Lacus has 15/13 stats, expert offense, 60+ Vivs, 3 Sidhes (accidentally lost one to birds :rolleyes:), 15 Ogre Magi, 9 Birds. Dessa has combat stats around 10, magic lower than mine. Army-wise: 30 Vivs, Angel, Green Dragon, a few Grand Elves. The battle is hopeless for Dessa. Thanks for the game.

The opponent had an unplayable situation.
But I had a playable situation.

Would have been an interesting FB. Despite taking 0 topes vs 8 I was in pretty good shape. I had a bit lower stats but better skills. Unfortunately, I caught Kyrre (4680 MP) unprepared. Thanks for playing.

On day 1 I barely broke through 3 exits, had enough gold for Nagas in the Fort, 40 Gremlins joined, opponent threatens with an Angel on Tazar. On day 2 I hit 35 Dendroids - lucky I got Air magic), I recruit 15 Basilisks, instead of Expert Air I take Wisdom and then Logistics, and then right there is the Griffin Conservatory-3((, but right before taking it I get Expert Air from a chest - God exists and Cyra is his prophet, she leveled up perfectly - I only lose 4 Nagas, Naga Bank, immediately 40 Gargoyles and 15 Swordsmen join, 38 Wyverns are fought for a box with 15k experience - I immediately get Expert Earth for Town Portal, I portal to the only direction not broken through and there in the treasure zone on the last move the pesky Rylard catches me. 500+ mana, but Lightning Bolt is still being brought(( On round 1 the opponent with +2 speed casts Mass Haste for some reason, I return the favor - Mass Haste. If he had cast Mass Slow in response, everything would have been the opposite(( True, I didn't notice there were 49 Dendroids)) and they, with morale and 7th speed, kill everything. I tried to Blind and summon Earth Elementals, but it didn't work..
Thanks for the adventurous game)
