Settings: Huge Land, 4 Opponents, All Fair -> (Difficulty, power minerals climate),
castor of magic version 5.42
Game not ended yet, currently still playing, @ April 1411.
Starting pick:
Dark elf
Myrran, Astrologer
3 Greens: Web, Earth to Mud
4 Blues: Focus magic, Psyonic blast, Confusion (surprise: no phantom warrior)
3 Blacks: Life drain, Wraith form
Strategy: Apprentice spam + As many settlers as possible.
Important progress:
Got summon zombie, resist element from trade with Tlaloc
Obtain summon ghoul from Lair (or Node)
Conquered two nodes (melt)
Screen shots @ April 1411:
About 3x powerful than the other two wizards on the same plane (Myrran)
** Never conquered any wizard's city (i.e. All my cities either from my own settlers, or conquered neutral cities).
33 cities, vs. Tlaloc (estimate: 13 cities) vs. Lo pan (estimate 15 cities)
* estimate according to the undiscovered map sizes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Relation with Tlaloc (has black book): Alliance
Relation with Lo pan: War, and request Tlaloc to fight against.
Lo pan started the fight with me, but I never lost a city (running around 4 battles in 3 cities: those cities got raid, lowering population and destroyed buildings), after that, about 3 or 4 won battle and got undeads. (Even in those running around battle, I got some undeads).
Basically Lo pan attacked my one weak defended city. When I filled the city with enough guards, he turned his troupes to my other weak cities, one by one, on the same land of his major force.
It is reasonable to start attack on the same land. If not for the same land, it had to use ships, risking to lost the ship and drown. Even if his army successfully arrived, the supply won't last long (not really a doom stack yet in year 1411). The conquered city could be easily retaken by me.
@ April 1411, I finally stabilized the situation by summing or create troupes in cities of the same land. Note that those my cities originally came from a neutral city, were full of undead troupes (coming from original neutral defenders), thus not Lo Pan's target. Only those created from start (settlers), and maximizing economy (thus less army) are Lo Pan's target.
No tower is open, as far as I know.
