Spiel #1407 Turnierspiel#4 | Round 2 : 2-1 League #4

I expected you to give up after that clash. My drones did some good scouting and I've seen that you havn't had that much army with your heroes.

Still I am struggling with DN and don't feel very comfortable, especially on small maps. The higher research costs make it even more difficult. It's turn 25 and I still havn't researched golems...

My game was not that good. Between turn 9 till 12 I lost my elite-blackknight for no reason, an elite-spearman with my builder (damn roaming aninmals), a naga warrior and also my befriended hell hound. Was quite pissed about all these losses but then got a shock trooper from my vassal and a naga pikeman. With theses units I cleared a lost city, bought 2 t3 (human cavalry and eagle rider) from inns and then headed towards your realm. After I took the watch tower I could see your army and went back some hexes to make sure you havn't got backup outside my vision range. You placed your stacks near the watchtower, I bought the remaining troops in the inn and then the final clash were fought.

All in all I've had a lucky pick with DN against necromancer. My flame tanks would have burned these unliving bastards back to their graves! ^^

Leveling heroes is really important. Your leader and heroes are at level 5, mine are all at level 10 and my gameplay was far away from perfect.

There is a really good guidance on the mechanics over here. https://age-of-wonders-3.fandom.com/wiki/Unit_Experience

Cheers and thank's for the game!

GG.

I dunno if research took longer than usual, but 6 turns for a lost soul seemed a little bit too much, or it might be my imagination since I'm the necro.

I had a very bad game I must say. Good start, but nonetheless, after I fought with a stack of two Tigran Chariots in a flow rock quarry, they beat my cavalry since none of my spells like stiffens limbs worked. After that, it started to decline more and more. 

Then I decided that an ancient ruin should be beatable, but it was not, so I lost my last standing Infantry against a webbing, and again, none of my spells hit. Rng was weird.

But, well, the cadavers were at least of my last army, and then a little stack was supposed to be reinforcement from the vassal city. I decided to "accidentally" move the remains of my army from the last ancient ruins battle against a watchtower owned by El Lobo. Supposedly only the lost soul but. Well, here we are. In the final battle, a few cadavers clumped together with heroes. If I had moved the lost soul only, I would still lost I think even if managed to reinforce my stack.

I guess I went to greedy this game.

It seems even at some point before turn 10, but well, I'm not so good at levelling all the heroes. I think I was doomed, even though I managed to survive a little longer.  

I'm working with car freight deliveries. A typical haul is between 5 upto 9 cars if trailer is hooked on the truck.

5 weeks of vacation is quite standard for Swedish vacation.  

This year since all fuel prices are higher I have not split vacation this year. Rather than traveling back and forth usually. We will go one way up and the go through mountain region on the road home for hiking in wilder regions to save some money on distances.

No problem it works again.

I will inform you that I will be on vacation from 1 July to 31st of July. I will be unavailable at this period.

Game is hosted! Feel free to join.

Good luck and have fun! :-)
