Chapter 5.1. The Serpent's Eye

The Serpent's Eye
We landed at the shore covered in green and fresh grass and started building the base. The sparse jungle continued to the north and east covered with many ruins from ancient  structures. In the centre, there was a cave low ground crawling with dinosaurs. There were still boiling craters of ancient volcano. Empire race and one of the Scorpionpriests were helping Miranda in the mission. She was mostly observing the battle from the safety of  the inner castle tower, going out from time to time to call a mage and breath fresh air. Scouts reported an enemy  Naga(Ssrathi Leader) converting the far mines. But soon, with 3 developed Quartermasters, and plenty of resources around, we were launching waves of all kinds of leaders and a lot of Mages toward the enemy base to the north-west. At the centre of the crater, there was large gathering of Snakepriests, guarding the artifact. At some point they all cracked under the pressure.  The hero in the crater dropped a Skullhelm(Helm, +5 Armor, +1 Dark Magic, -1 Morale). And the main enemy hero dropped the Cloak of Shadows(Armor, +1 Illusion Magic, +5 Resistance). I was saving all items that give additional magic trees. Miranda returned to the ship at the base and the mission was completed. The Serpent's Eye is a Bonus, that gives +2 vision radius to all units. Bonuses are accessed from the strategic map, menu button in the upper-left of the screen.
