24.05.2014. Pit for LM (red, Conflux, random Inteus, Tant) def ProtosArchon (blue, Stronghold, Crag, Crag), Diamond, 126.
We both used 2 days of restarts. The last map was difficult, but turned out well.
111 - 7 heroes, Grindan, Tant. Outer market, a couple of crypts, two exits to underground, one to one-way portal and one off-road two-way portal. Not much starting army and no airs prebuilt, no dwellings. Tant ate chest, got 1k exp and adv necro. That made my decision to play here.
112 - took village in underground; a couple of Pandoras, utopia, necro-boots were nice scouted things there.
113 - took crypts at starting zone, scouted stables. Didn't make a way to second underground zone due to the missclick.
114 - took one more underground village. The roads are very short and I had no good exit to mainland. But I scouted an earth book guarded by rocks and that made me happy.
115 - scouted some of the zones through portals. Lots of hives, Pandoras, utopias, but no good guards to earn sceletons.
116 - killed 7 hydras with up stack for Pandora. The fight went bad, got antimoral on last sprite when I wanted to renew haste on sceletons and hydras got ots of good morales that turn. The result was minus about 70 skels. But Pandora gave 10k exp, Tant learned Earth, Logistics and Armor.
117 - I found and took boots of speed and Tant moved to stables.Firebirds were built.
121 - Monere took full gnome bank, Inteus 8-medusa bank, so I felt strong and Tant attacked 50-99 fire elementals. 88 fires killed a bird, all minds and half of skeletons, just 76 remained.
122 - took necro-boots, earned some skeletons with them from imps, attacked 50 rocks. It was a bad fight, lost one more bird and some skeletons, but 150 remained and I got TP.
123 - had no other chance than to go somewhere offroad. 200 skeletons.
124 - 300 skeletons, took a village, found lots of roads. Scouted utopia and opponent's territory.
125 - Monere went to check the utopia. Full. The army and hero were not good to attack dragons, so I went other direction. Library, titan shield and 5k Pandora that experted all my skills were the things necessary to take the full utopia.
126 - The utopia was taken without losses (350 skells + 1 bird + ressurect) and gave everything necessary - +6 all helm, +3 all necklace, 5-lev hat and titan armor. Crag was nearby with 6 angels in a single stack. I had enough mana for implosion, so the game finished here.
Thanks for the match!
