Existence of landmarks and barbarian ability to found cities with scouts seem to get well together, so I have decided to do several restarts of Sylvani Laurel game to get to see two remaining landmarks that avoided me, Cascade Falls and Grand Statuary. And I did not need to restart even once - first game gave me Cascade Falls right near me.
Turn 3 landmark.
And another is visible in fog of war.
You want to mate unicorn with unicorn? Ok.
Turn 9, landmark benefits are mine.
Even more food. And hero rescued.
Second landmark is also mine!
That's nice neighbor.
severe locust
Another nice neighbor.
severe locust
Two landmarks claimed. Two friendly AI. Two unfriendly AI. And two Golden wonders to clear.
Defensive pact for crappy wonder I will never annex? Yes.
severe locust
That was nasty manual battle. Really nasty. Sacrificing shield unis so that Golden Golem does not resurrect, sacrificing ruler to save hero and so on...
severe locust
I somehow missed lava prison. No matter, it will be cleared to.
severe locust
Second Golden Wonder!
severe locust
Thus great monkey is defeated. Yet question remains - how will I find mana for it.
severe locust
Ok, Storm killed Accrion...
severe locust
Turn 49 - great war against evil cats is going for 2 turns now. Even his original ally turned on Kyrma.
severe locust
Nice auto-battle. I will not replay it.
severe locust
Kyrma once again attempts to remove me from his domain.
And fails even in auto-combat.
severe locust
Lonely Kyrma the cat really wants to meet full army of my mole friends.
While I am besieging his Throne city.
Second mole army forced him to leave. Unfortunately he is still near moles)
severe locust
No more Kyrma.
severe locust
Regent is not threatening.
Her armies on the other hand are slightly concerning. Auto-battle says that only my ruler survives. Let's try better.
severe locust
Just not going on bridge went much, much better.
severe locust
And finally I can build Beacons of Unity.
severe locust
Regent made mistake in staying in one place to summon spider.
severe locust
Still 6 + 3 distraction units vs 17 + catapult towers was hard battle.
Second battle was easier. Yet question remains - how did Giant Queen fit into Cage of Binding?
severe locust
I'm four turns away from victory countdown. Let's try and make her ally instead of vassal.
And then buy beacons and start countdown.
severe locust
Turn 4 of endgame countdown. Second Kyrma's city integrated. Now I can put these cats on some mount.
Bears, I think.
severe locust
It's useless on the last turn, but works as additional taunt to Tempest.
