20.01.12. Pit for LM (red, Conflux, random Luna, Galthran) lose Tiamath (blue, Dungeon, Shacty, Shakty), 2sm4d(3), 145.
A very bad game from my side. Had a good chance for winning saving just one day!
We started when I had restarts yet, but it's impossible to restart Galthran. Moreover I had Luna as starting and that also was nice.
111 - 5 heroes, roads are slow, not much gold is seen, Dungeon is upstairs, but I decide to play. One road is leading on the grass secondary town but is blocked by orcs.
112 - small crypt. Found conservatory.
113 - observatory tower shows quite reach Dungeon zone, where I broke. Found that I have 3 roads to towns, but, unfortunately, they are slow...
114 - took Dungeon, found and visited stables nearby. 7 heroes.
115 - first critical mistake ruined quite a lot. The passage to all reaches of Dungeon was blocked by ... a rock (!) which I didn't notice early. Instead of easy birds and early conses I got real problems with building-up my castle and had to fight for every gold pile...
116 - found a portal to treasury, but other side is blocked by lizards.
117 - built birds, no money left. Galthran is on the stables. Only 52 skeletons raised. Founs second conservatory near Dungeon.
121 - sold all resources, bought a new hero and 4 firebirds, took 20-dwarf treasury.
122 - stupid loss of 1 bird. Broke to the next zone with town to collect some skeletons.
123 - it also occurred to be Dungeon... And with a really long road to it. Found there only cloak for magic +2+2.
124 - climbed on the underground observatory tower and saw 2 utopias. Combined with advanced view earth that allowed to build a plan for further game. A wrong one, possibly. I decided to clean up 3 underground treasures leaving one quite big on a surface to opponent.
125 - filled mana in the well and retreated to the capital. Broke to the last of my zones with towns.
126 - a crap like a week ago... Wanted to get to conservatory - but found no way to it, only mountains... Had to lose a day for a trip around.
127 - +2 angels, retreated to the first dungeon to visit stables. Built castle in capital.
131 - walking to conservatory.
132 - +2 angels, got to treasury. With expert earth I found that opponent has an access to it, so I decided to start here.
133 - red orb, 8 wyvren hive.
134 - terrible move. First Mirlanda lost a lot of skeletons fighting for 6 wyvs, than I forgot to remove red orb and lost much more with a battle against 50+ manticores. Got 15 minotaurs-kings in Pandora.
135 - got recanter's cloak and Pandora with 25 medusas after army-consuming battle against 100+ master-genies. Luna got 6 more wyvs. Treasury was finished here.
136 - trying to restore my skeleton's stack. Only 300 left...
137 - +3 angels, +4 wyvs, entered new treasury, finished turn near utopia.
141 - +4 wyvs, utopia with earth book, a minimal-one unfortunately. But still with best possible artifact, probably. Moreover there was 2 parts of AOTD, but marketplaces on 144 didn't bring me the rest... Made double-mana and finished turn at Castle town, that was taken few days ago.
142 - after stables building went to the 3rd treasury zone. +4 wyws there.
143 - +16 wyws, +1 speed. Stupidly lost a firebird and 5 minotaurs.
144 - took the second and the last utopia. Was quite encouraging on entrance - a maximal one. I desperately needed parameters because it's hard to fight with 10-10 against 20-30. Unfortunately the result was Water Tome, Sea Captain's Hat, Big Bag of Gold and Boots of Levitation.
Here Shakty took an utopia near main guards and got my capital. That utopia gave +6 all helm and fire tome. If I played one day faster I could take it and with +12 to warrior's parameters final battle would be much more interesting.
Unfortunately it happened like this:
Galthran (9, 9), 47 storms, 6 angels, 608 skeletons, 9 birds, 8 psi-elementals, 48 wyvs, 44 evil eyes against Shacty (28, 27), 49 minotaur-kings, 23 wyverns, 28 medusas, 54 eyes, 130 troglodytes.
Due to tremendous difference in parameters there was no chances at all.
Thanks for a game.
