Opp took 112, I took 111 and we got started. I was thinking of taking 111 on a played-out spawn, since I didn't see anything interesting on the first day, but there seemed to be plenty of gold, and the native terrain was close, so I went for it. And I didn't regret it. The respawn had 2 external elf dwellings, 2 external dragon dwellings, 2 Griffin Conservatories, and a beehive :smile02: but all off-road and far enough away. With scouting I also revealed the central village, where I saw a decent shield and another Conservatory, but getting there would take a long time through snow. There was also 1 more Conservatory on the barbarian opponent's respawn, whom I killed at the end of the first week. Kyrr got Air and Armor. In the end, by week 1 I only managed to clear both external elf dwellings; I wanted to build Master Grems, but didn't have enough gold, and later on I was always tight on gold, which is why I couldn't build Dragon dwellings.
On week 2 I took both external dragon dwellings, both Conservatories (1+3), and the beehive for 4, unfortunately losing an angel in a treasure zone. I had nearly 50 elves, who dealt great damage with Expert Archery. Around this time, red appeared in the zone revealed by scouting. Then, by the end of the week, I took the level 2 Conservatory on the opponent's respawn. After that I split the army: Kyrr went on angels to the center/swamp, while the rest of the army went with Valeska from the prison to a corner treasure zone. On day 127, Gundula attacked Kyrr, killed 1 angel, and I bought peace.
From that point, everything went downhill :( Valeska reached the town in the treasure zone, revealing a Conservatory and a Dragon Utopia. Not much gold, but I needed to buy creatures to enter the Utopia :( So I ended up dawdling in that treasure zone for a long time, even though I could have gathered everything in 2 days. On top of that, I lost almost all my elves. I checked the Utopia — level 2; Kyrr went in on day 134, I think, with a zoo of Dendroid Soldiers, Thunderbirds, some barbarian meat, 5 angels, 10 Wiverns, and 3 Dragons. I came out with 3 angels, but got a Hat of spells level 5. I sent Kyrr home to refill mana. I was thinking of running off-road to the treasure zone, but then I spotted that Gundula had sat in a town without backup. I decided to jump in and kill her. It worked; Gundula dropped Gauntlets and Boots. But then I was 1 movement short of killing part of her army (Wiverns and some other filler) on a Necro. In the end, on day 136, the opponent combined armies and overwhelmed me; he had 12 angels, 20+ Wiverns, and some misc leftovers. I had 3 angels and 26 elves. I took a Meteor Shower on all my main stacks, the opponent's angels wiped out mine, I called GG. I should have bought peace and run to the treasure zone after all.
Thanks for the game!
