Posts from The Final Battle 9

Got exp earth and armor plus boots pretty early but lacked slow. Mid week 2 I attacked a full con and wasnt even close to winning the battle without slow. Had nothing to do the next 3 days but decided to play on and it worked out well, since we didnt meet early.

In the end I had gunnar with 51 44 stats, red orb and angelic alliance, 51 AAs and 138 wyverns. Opponent was strong too with 4500 skell warriors but the result was clear. If nessesary I could have waited longer since I controlled the map and made 8 aas pr. week. TFP.

The surface layout played out, with external dwellings of peasants in the central zone, which gave a nice boost at the start. On the edge of the respawn was an external dwelling of horses; I took it on 117. Horses at home, money at zero. The only money object was a mini-naga bank, which I broke into at the start of the second week. On the second day, I went through a couple of treasure zones in the center; the only interesting thing was a speed cape. On the third day, I emerged into my super treasure zone. There were several Dragon Fly Hives, artifacts handpicked — a ring of sulfur, a vial of mercury, boots of levitation... I ran further into the dead-end treasure zone from my crossroad. It was native; by the end of the fourth day, I took the first mini-Griffin Conservatory there, a Dragon Utopia with a Water Book, two external dwellings of dragons, and two of liches. I also captured two computers, built Town Portal at home in the guild, and built dragons. I saw my opponent flying over my already cleared super treasure zone; Gunnar was losing in both stats and money at that point.

On 211, Dessey took a Dragon Utopia at one of the computers' respawn; it gave a chalice and КЗ. Charna ran to the next crossroad — endless sands, under which there should have been a good super treasure zone, but my opponent got there first. I simply took two more villages along the roads. Near one of them was a Dragon Utopia; Dessey pulled out a КВ from it, and then things heated up. I had two heroes with full control, though no artifacts for Log. My opponent started capturing my towns with Archmages, but for several days I managed to keep control fairly easily, and then the very first guild there gave Town Portal. Nevertheless, only one hero had full control, so the scuffle dragged on for a long time. Gunnar could only stop it one way — by personally sitting in the contested village, which he did twice. There were about 2000 skeletons by then, so I didn't dare attack. He was left with three towns and a full set of necro artifacts; with several Necromancers, he killed everything around, so over the last week of the game the skeleton count doubled, but that wasn't enough :)

Thanks for playing.

Real psychos ))) 51 archers!!! :))))

Yeah, the armies are insane :smile41:

I had a choice between a skirmish and a mini-brawl.
My castles are Tower, Conflux, and Stronghold, opponent has Dungeon, Castle, and Rampart.
On day 2 I take Conflux, on day 4 Stronghold. I didn't take Tower first because there was a block. The good part — I discovered a Griffin Conservatory on Stronghold territory, built Wives and Waspworts in the citadel, built Roc dwellings in Stronghold (thanks to the AI for not building them itself), and Ogres in the citadel. There are 3 Gnoll external dwellings.
Gundula sleeps at the stable on the Conflux respawn on day 121 and prepares to hit the Boots on day 121, and on day 122 to retake the +5 Shield guarded by 100+ Griffins.
I managed to buy out the entire army in the Swamp and 7 Rocs in Stronghold. There turned out to be 128 Griffins, but Gundula had Slow and 20 mana, so I only lost 40 Gnolls. Gundula gets Air Magic and Logistics and breaks into the Conflux treasure zone. There's a Pandora's Box for 20-49 Berserkers, a Dragon Utopia, an Obelisk, and a +3 All Stats behind a pile of Cavaliers, and another Obelisk behind a front of Monks with a quest artifact.
I decide to split and take the Griffin Conservatory in Stronghold on day 124. It turned out to be tier 3 — killed 3 Wives and all the Rocs and Gnolls.
Gundula gets Armorer and Tactics.
On the second week, I took 2 Obelisks in the Stronghold treasure zone, got 14 Wives in total, built a Castle town. On day 131, I started again at the stable and, after splitting into the Conflux treasure zone, took 2 Obelisks with the main hero. Then, chaining, I took 3 more Obelisks with secondary heroes, returned everything to Gundula, and on day 132 the Dragon Utopia fell, which gave КВ + Orb of Water.
I split Gundula in Conflux, build a Library there, and buy Earth and Water. Simultaneously, I completed 2 quests for 20+20K gold. I transfer the army to the main hero; there's another Dragon Utopia on the way to the castle, I take it with a secondary hero holding 50 Wives.
Got a +4 All Stats shield. Day 133 — upgrade the Swarms, break into the central treasure zone, there's a Dragon Utopia right away, get +6 All Stats, stats around 26 26 26 23.
On day 134, I run to Javdet's castle, and there's a massive force of secondary heroes on the way to the castle. I take it out with my own secondary hero and Roma surrenders.
Thanks for the game!

Thanks for the game!

I understand that it might be a bit early, as only a month has passed. But maybe we should still create a leaderboard? :D
