Day 5: Dwarves
*Spirit of Order quest... aha! Grmbl... too soon.. grmbl*
Lets keep the rest secret for now!

Day 5
ts

Day 6: Dwarves
The Tigrans must have bought the Elven city with the wizard tower - was it set to "refugee" by chance??

A roving Druid should bring lots of trouble for us....
We hope to fare better on other frontiers
ts

Day 7: Dwarves
The Tigrans find a camp of Elves and destroyed our vanguard of 2 Boars and an Elven Scout - the adjacent Iron Lady didnt help us at all, even the Elves are no allies anymore - desaster is looming?
An allied waterdancer chases an enemy Gladerunner into the underground - but likely both will perish against the Goblins.

Day 8+9: Dwarves
A flying hero has joined the enemy and is likely to kill our waterdancer....
The mercenary Druid and Iron Lady gang up with other forces to put pressure on. Our Scouts seek safe refuge on mountains and let the flood of enemies pass - although soon the flyers will arrive

Day 10+11: Dwarves
Our forces captured and seduced an enemy silver Druid, who entangled our hero and tried to kill him in vain. The Druid was highly resistant but surrendered to their charms when they started to strip the scarce clothes on the 8th try.
We also managed to kill 3 Boars (2 of them in the underworld with a beefed up Dancer) and now threaten to counter-attack on the Archon town defended by the Iron Lady.

We really need some successes after all 4 middle-towns between the realms are in the hand of the enemy.
Both Wizards are mighty, so nothing should be decuided yet...

very well done waterfly, I guess in this game any mistake will be punished...

Day 12: Dwarves
The archon town is captured, the 8 defenders slain by Dromdir, who used his cold strike to even the odds of higher numbers. His 4 support troops of course were also slain, but the Druid and the 2 Nymphs waited out the battle and pulled in afterwards to secure the city.
Our second hero caught the reinforcing sheriff and both heroes try to shield each other from the counterattack, which could come from the main Tigran hero with unknown whereabout.
With lv 13 and 13 health Dromdir is still capable of putting up a decent fight and Torgal with his markmanship 3 a nice counter to the flying hero.

This could have been a mistake as well of yours - or a well laid trap!

no comments...

Day 13: Dwarves
Trying to exploit the confusion before we are hit by the counterattack.
Kaskar the flying Rogue was slain by our Minotaur, after he ordered the Boar to sacrifice himself before the battle.
Too good an opportunity to not give it a try

A trueseeing cavallery - that was a gift of our noble opponent - discovered a hidden spy when he reclaimed a node. Our Druid took care of that one.

Taking out units every turn might be a good thing to easen the money advantage the Tigrans must have...

Day 14: Dwarves
We didnt dare to attack the Elvish capitol that recruited a Nymph for additional risk to our heroes...

Waiting for the counter-attack....

Day 15+16: Dwarves
Andrakin was slain. He was about as strong as our Runemaster on guard of the eastern River, but Andrakin was entangled in the battle by the Druid and couldnt do much damage. Moreover a lot of naval forces were taken out one after another with the help of our Galley, so that some strong troops with new heroine Chantal are trapped on the side of the Tigran town.
How long will it take for the flyers to change the equation?? we have 3 lv3 units on this theater (runemaster/Druid/Mole) against none we can yet see on the other side.
But any attack on Ardgradash would have deal with the 6 slinger defense there - too bad the Frostlings didnt defend it

Day 17+18: Dwarves
Chandra is slain with her supporting army.
Our vanguard retreated for a Day and came back stronger, since 2 more Runemasters plus resurrected Andrakin joined them for the attack. We lost a silver Druid, a priest and a Frog, but the enemy lost his army of lowlevel troops plus 2 minotaurs and Chandra. A few more items are grabbed from the slain hero and our Wizard will try to resurrect Chandra soon....
We supect the enemy flyers will try to surprise us somewhere with a massive attack, since we havent seen any sign of them yet.

The Tigrans started to built Druids as well, one was captured sneaking around our Archon town, which is a bad place to sneak up to...

Day 19-23: Dwarves
In the meantime we recruited all of the Tigrans former heroes, while Aim is bereft of any.
In a steady advance from the flanks we captured a valuable Draconian town guarding the Frostling quarter of the map.

The Goblins in the caverns continue to grab away our resources, but they still recover from the early punches we dealt to them.

In terms of resources our side must have the upper hand and our wizard is highly developed by now with all those goodie skills while Aim still sticks to Explorer and spellcastI.

IMO Aim needs to have a major hidden ace to still win this game, but it will still take some turns to make victory ours.

Day 24+25: Dwarves
Today we eliminated a medium sized army of 4 swashbucklers and 2 Catmasters with our force of 4 Runemaster and 2 Heroes.
We also started to raze the outskirts of the Tigran empire which sends 3 Manticores to hunt down our second-in-command lv11 hero Torgal... good luck with that.

Aim just surrendered his forces due to lack of perspective in this game.
thx for the exciting game Aim - I always like to play the big maps
