23.04.3014 Lim4(blue, random, Dungeon, Shakti) def Grizvald(red, random, Necropolis, Tamika) 2sm4d(3), 136
I'm writing from memory, there may be inaccuracies. We restarted everything. In the end, I got Shakti with two stacks in the central micro-respawn, and Grizvald got Tamika in the underground also on a micro-respawn. The second hero in the tavern, besides the native one, was Torosar with a ballista and gremlins. In the first battle, I didn't notice that the gremlins weren't a 1-stack, but the main stack, and the gr skeletons hit them and killed 12 out of 20, every cloud in the sky, every place that I hide, tell me that I, I was wrong to let them go:smile05: Shakti went in and most of the scouts went to the stable near ГО. Shakti captured a monster dwelling and visited the Knowledge Stone there. I didn't have time to reach it with the main hero and some scouts, and there was also money left for another scout...
On 112 I built harpies and broke through the dwarves to the snow resp. I sent two scouts there on 1-stack gremlins to collect treasure chests, and on 113 I built an Eye and sent it to take a secondary. At the same time, Shakti broke through to the inferno lands of another adjacent secondary. I bought two more knowledges for a thousand. By the end of the week, I'm running around scouting, picking things up, stopping by a well, looking for prospects, somehow there are neither Dragon Fly Hives nor Griffin Conservatories (two in the snow off-road don't count). I was lucky with the found resources for buildings, since the sawmill was blocked by gr fakes behind the obelisk, the secondaries were also blocked, and there were temporary problems with mercury, but, I repeat, I was lucky with monster dwellings and resource piles on the snow. Shakti bought a spell book in Inferno, they gave Slow and Bless. Haste was found in a scroll (then it was also given in other Mage Guilds). The only tempting thing was a box for 50+ snakes. I set up a chain to take it on 121. Buildings on 117: Manticores in the Citadel. And it's quite sad that besides that box, nothing tasty was scouted. Yes, somehow not very Dungeon-like:smile42:. Where are those Dragon Fly Hives on 111-112 or level 1-2 Griffin Conservatories on the first? And here there's nothing to do even on the second... With a scout and two Manticores with 1-stack Demons, I captured the sawmill on the main and picked up some piles)))
On 121, barely enough money for a Manticore (no money for a meat scout...), I move the army via chain to the main hero, who is standing in front of the box. The chain participants captured a crypt, captured a prison and a chest with Aiden (Logistics specialty), somewhere they got artifacts with a ballista and reached Shakti just 3 seconds before the end of the turn:smile07: I don't have time to make 1-stacks, etc., I attack with everyone. Losses are normal: 4 harpies, gnolls from Aiden, small stuff. The box gave 10k gold. Very, very timely. Time is running out, Shakti is burning almost all movement points. I hired the native week 2 hero, split Shakti's army, upgraded the Manticores (then the Eyes, Medusas). Went to fight Gold Golems for the inferno lands off-road. Not far from there was a level 3-4 Griffin Conservatory with greater spirits. Checked with a scout - level 3, manageable. No oil. Have Mass Haste, but with 2nd spellpower. I lose two Manticores, all Eyes, all Medusas, 25 Troglodytes, and 1-stacks. I leave a scout wandering the inferno lands, I split the main hero, doubled the mana (for this, Shakti had to burn another turn:D), took a Naga Bank and went into the treasure zone from the snow secondary through a portal, which was unpleasantly close to my main castle, I had wanted to go there for a long time.
Great that the portal led to an underground treasure zone) There are Dragon Fly Hives, a Dimension Door scroll, a scout Gelar with upgraded Wisdom, Water, Earth and something else, an artifact for +2 speed, a box for 15k experience for Psychic Elementals. Shakti leveled up during the game, besides Attack and Tactics, Air, Armorer, Logistics, and Earth (Earth already on the opponent's secondary territory in a level 4 Naga Bank + a Knowledge Stone). On week 3, I build a Mage Guild in the Inferno secondary for Dimension Door, on week 4 the Mage Guild gives Town Portal:smile54:, just in time for Gelar, I double his mana in the opponent's Dungeon secondary, split him, teach him, run around looking for and trading resources for a level 5 Mage Guild. Meanwhile, Shakti found the opponent's main, but doesn't dare attack Tamika in it. He stops so she doesn't leave to some treasure zone, and waits for the supply drop on week 4, as well as for the scouts there to finish business with the Mage Guild. Dimension Door was needed to capture the Griffin Conservatory on the snow.
Tamika disrupted the plans and attacked Shakti.
Tamika 7 4 4 6: 10 Liches, 8 Cavaliers, 365 gr Skeletons, 1 gr Skeleton, 1 gr Skeleton, 3 Vampires, 2 Angels
Shakti 8 7 4 7(109): 18 gr Eyes, about 120 Troglodytes, 1-stack Troglodytes, 1-stack Troglodytes, 18 Wyverns, 3 Angels, 7 gr Scorpicores, ballista
Underground, +2 speed, Mass Haste, Oil, tons of mana - nothing to counter it.
Thanks for the game.
By the way, there was a stone zone on the map with 6 stacks of Firebirds, the game client glitched out :D
