Posts from Outlaw 2!

We restarted and began. I gave up the corner zone, middle roads, plenty of gold, plenty of army. On month 1 day 14, Luna burns 19 djinns and gets 40 marks in Pandora in an adjacent zone. On month 1 day 15, she steals the Pandora box for the entire 5, it's nice to have air control early. Soon she gets the Log. On day 23, in a box next to the marks, they give 25 griffins, and then 30 monks — and who needs diplomats? I take a Griffin Conservatory and a prison — there's Gosh with Offense and Defense. Perfect for the Conservatory I scout later. There was a choice of 2 one-way portals, I entered the one that looked nicer, with a path. Gosh took Conservatory 3, where he lost the meat, but the monks survived along with the horses. On day 25, I run along the path and meet the opponent. Low mana, not enough for Dimension Door. On day 26, I take away Conflux, but the bird hasn't been bought for the opponent yet. Small thing, but nice. On day 27, I try to catch up to Adele, but I guess the direction wrong, though I show that I have Dimension Door. Things are worse there, and Adele surrenders :smile36:

There was 1 rest left on 111, Zhenya took everything. I decided not to take my last one, even though the draw wasn't great. I just had a feeling that things were really bad there, and that feeling turned out to be right. On 111, both of us had a spread of 4 heroes, the opponent didn't reveal any decent heroes. At least I got a necro, and at the respawn there was a Dragon Fly Hive for basic basilisks. Also at the respawn, there was a Vampire's Cloak for 5-9 gr. uniques, which made me dream of the Cloak of the Undead King. The starting Scout Hero also played a nice role, giving slow to the scholar.

112-117 - I sit at the respawn, plus in the underground I run into an exit from a one-way portal, take an external dwelling of Wyverns and build them at the Citadel. Tamika is on the move, on the road out of the respawn. Tamika leveled up great: logistics, earth, later armor and air. Didn't even think about diplomacy :).
121 - a scout hero takes the home Hive (4). Tamika with 14 Wyverns breaks into the adjacent zone on the dirt, and it's beautiful there. 3 Hives on the way to the cartographer :). There's also a teleport leading through wasteland to a zone with a hill fort and several potentially nice chests.
122-127 - total army gathering for Dragon Utopias. Extremely pleased with 20 vampires from a chest, which immediately went together with the Wyverns to the hill fort :).
131 - I check the first Dragon Utopia. Maxi, I decide to pick up the Dragon Fly Hive on 132 and bring a meat shield, because Tamika's attack is only 4, and I had neither shield nor skin. But on his turn, Zhenya capitulates. Watching his actions thanks to the cartographer was even a bit painful :). If it weren't for the 2 firebirds from the home refuge on 121, I don't even know how he would have broken through the orcs to get out on the road from the respawn :). Rylan also came too late. Post-mortem showed that in 3 days I would have arrived with a wild army, including archangels, high stats, and 4DD. Thanks for the game!

I picked up Wings in the very first treasure zone - both Cartographers - Cloak of the Undead King. Caught up to Vidomina in the treasure zone, FB - no chance.

Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game!

Similar situation: on 111 I beat the DD scroll, have stables, wells everywhere, Aenain with air, but in terms of artifacts for Diamond it was terribly poor; as a result, I captured some AI players, stole a couple of artifacts, leveled up Aenain, got diplomacy, but couldn't grow the army quickly, found КЗ, beat 4all (which couldn't be stolen) with magic—there were no more based on artifact stats at all. I was planning to take it via Dragon Utopia summon, but the opponent forfeits; thanks for the game.

Too bad, my opponent didn't let me implement my diplomatic strategy.
Thanks for the game.

Thanks for the game.

Moner got diplomacy at level 2. Didn't recruit birds (which I regretted later), but taught Earth Magic to my main hero at the university of magic in the first week. At the respawn there were two Fairy external dwellings and an external marketplace. On day 124, with oil, I captured a Griffin Conservatory tier 3, several Dragon Fly Hives, and the joins began.
I ventured into the super treasure zone. There were a million Dragon Fly Hives, a cartographer, some stats, and free 44 Champions and 31 Manticores. No control anywhere.
On day 142, I went to the central treasure zones via wasteland and in the maximum Dragon Utopia got КВ + found an underground cartographer. Took three more Dragon Utopias and finished off the opponent.

It went quite well, a decent number of cons and hives. Also, a cartographer appeared at the respawn, I took it at the end of week 1. The long corridor in the treasure zone leading to the central city was unpleasant, but on the bright side, the opponent wasn't in a hurry to move into the center. At the opponent's respawn, a +5 all sword and a level 5 hat were revealed. While I was making my way to the center of the treasure zone, I was simultaneously watching the opponent pick all of this up. In the end, he jumps into the center via DD on a single sultan (I don't know if it was part of the plan or he forgot to transfer the army) and lands next to Gosha. On my turn, I steal the bracers and the KSh from under the guards and attack, followed by a surrender.

Thanks for the game.
