Just as we are going to get news about Secrets of the Archmages, I have decided to return to common godir job - hunting some umbral demons. Now with Sundren and her snake ice elves of order, nature and shadow

#

Realm traits

#

Little ice spider.

#

Landmark

#

And gold wonder. Pity that even naga can't swim without empire skill now

#

Poisoned arrows

#

That would be hard

Upd. If I kill snakes, bone dragon ends me. If I kill bone dragon, snakes end me.

#

My free city was to the south - just out of scout's view before he went to water

#

Found landmark

#

Sure, I'll pay some gold

#

Awaken, my spiders!

#

Crusader and researcher ritualist? Perfect

#

Let's send her talk to lost soul. It should fulfill ambition soon

#

I'll have two 3 pop cities at once next turn

#

Book fragment. Not far from me.

#

Cryomancy, for frost and arrows

#

Destroy bandit camp I planned to destroy either way? Sure

#

30 good points? Sure. It's 20 gold and 5 imperium per turn

#

Even more good

#

Also, my crusader got her major ambition and nearly reached level 4 renown.

#

It's naga more marauder

#

Hard battle. But I lost just one archer

#

Hello, dragon. Let's be friends!

#

#

And this is not a friend

#

What? No! I'd rather waste imperium to counter it

#

Landmark

#

Let's integrate them

#

#

Mutual friendship. I just gifted him couple of items

#

That's not very useful spell. Still, it's a spell from tier 4 tome

#

Free city ruler hired

#

And he wants to become lawbringer

#

Tome of Winds. For it's archers

#

And hello, seer ogre

#

That's nice. For now.

#

Eldritch sovereign Ra'shek is replaced by Eclipse the Reaper.

#

And I need tho crush this lair as soon, as possible - it's spreading

#

I'll research it, sure

#

Defense pact

#

And frost arrows

#

Hello, moles!

#

And you too, Otto!

#

Nice, one more magic material

#

Perfect, it's very close!

#

Tier 3 tome I wanted to take anyway!

#

I'll even spend this mana to restore it

#

Shoot better, my archers

#

Time for governor switch. Sorry, free city lord, but lady Elsol is just better for science city

#

Had to summon unit to clear that lair before Aerelazaliar. And now will force march my ruler to found outpost

#

Tome of Cycles

#

Reaper declares war on Otto

#

Ok, let's spend 17 gold on 15 imperium

#

Traces of nomad city. And border colors. It's Hasty Frostbite!

#

Hello, Hasti!

wind dew May 16, 2026, 1:03 PM

#

Poisoned blades

wind dew May 16, 2026, 1:31 PM

#

One scout for dealing with Reaper? Sure

#

I'll even hire undead mole and give her her own cestus

#

Forced march into being thrown into the void

#

Reaper is banished, leaving behind three new free cities

#

Blooming projectiles

#

Otto declares that I'm his rival.

#

Nice staff

#

Let's befriend giantess

#

Ok, for 3 cities I want to make my vassals and moles I want to integrate

#

Last magic material of liquid collection

#

Moles have gold wonder? It's perfect

wind dew May 16, 2026, 2:18 PM

#

Alliance

#

Sure, I'll hire this pirate

#

And then pay seer ogre

#

Tome of Shades

#

Bye, seer

#

#

Canceling snow storm to get 80 mana for transformation

#

Hello, Megaira

wind dew May 16, 2026, 3:15 PM

#

#

And hello, goats.

P.S. Had to reload autosave - fighting dragons was too hard

#

Living shadows.

#

And now I can turn that transformation invisible so that ice on Sundren becomes visible

#

Friendship returned

wind dew May 16, 2026, 3:59 PM

#

Now, that's better gold wonder

#

I'll even get tier 4 unit to ease clearing that ziggurat

#

Defense pact with frost giantess

#

Now, first umbral demon dwelling met. It's in the north

#

Tome of Fertility. Really, I need any pure nature tome here. And fertility at least has useful spell. Only one, because nymphs I can get from rally

#

Auto-battle. It's truly easiest wonder

#

I think I'll become pure good...

#

#

Looks like Sundren has to delay returning to gold wonder with dragons

#

That's interesting - unholy procession lost soul quest can be cleared with undead hero

#

Item for umbral delves and some imperium. Perfect

wind dew May 16, 2026, 4:48 PM

#

Also nice

#

Ice blades

wind dew May 16, 2026, 5:03 PM

#

Moles integrated

#

And big red mole lord hired

#

Apparently another portal to that umbral dwelling leads right to my lands. And that's just dwelling I was delaying to meet

#

Tome of Stormborne

#

Stay lawbringer, mole. There is lair I plan to clear

wind dew May 16, 2026, 5:50 PM

#

Trainer ogre

#

First wonder bound

#

That's very rare island

#

I stole a dragon

#

Now, that's good

#

Thief fulfilled major ambition

#

Alliance

#

Second umbral dwelling is behind this gate. I shall not open it with just a scout

wind dew May 16, 2026, 8:04 PM

#

Elephant caused phase beast to teleport. And teleported with it🤣

#

Goddess of Nature

#

Second wonder bound

#

Ring forging. Ok

#

Third wonder bound

#

Ring forged

#

I think I'll finish naga transformation spell before starting final countdown

#

Vengeance against that bone dragon from first turns!

#

Tolerable auto-battle. At least one umbral demon dwelling is destroyed

wind dew May 16, 2026, 8:53 PM

#

Found another dwelling. It's the same dwelling that underground tunnel led to

#

Scrying

#

Both Megaira and Otto declared war on me

#

Naga time!

#

#

Little better net

#

Perfect - Megaira out of her city

#

Otto is aggressive

#

Megaira perished. I'll not even replay it

#

#

Also that battle completed Sundren's major ambition

#

Force of Nature!

#

Tome of Prosperity

#

Let's start final countdown.

#

Magic supressor sniped

#

And it crashed enemy morale by level

#

Second hero sniped. Enemy left flank almost ready to run

#

Only prosperity dragon remains. Through it too ran away and I had to catch it

#

wind dew May 17, 2026, 12:52 PM

#

Thank you, Hasti. I really did not want to recall Sundren to end siege Otto just started

#

Mole lord of cleansing flame free city leads the siege

#

It will be complete collection

#

Frostling Naga

#

Collector elementalist? Ok.

#

Arrows are better now

#

Combo of summoning progenitor golem and Lightning storm worked

#

Otto, you have a problem - you lost two heroes and now have only arbalest

#

He escaped, unfortunately

#

Blessed armors

#

Another umbral dwelling? I'll likely be unable to clear it before victory

#

Ok.

#

Prophecy

#

Second umbral dwelling cleared. Third one I can't reach before game ends

#

Hasti has gone for a kill

#

She failed. Still, I'll forge her an axe

#

Fated projectiles

#

Mountseller

#

Hasti has moved her throne city to Otto's lands to instantly return to it.

#

You can't run, Otto

#

Here, take it instead of your tier 1 axe

#

She even moved it directly to Otto's caves. Should nomads do this?

#

Through she didn't stay or focus attack

#

And it's Age of Nature

#

Otto started with landmark and umbral gate right to dwelling in his cave
