"only XL-4"

A terrifyingly fat layout with a red external dwelling and cons. By 116, there were already 6 angels, level 12 shakti, and I started aiming for the Dragon Utopia. However, it turned out to be a maxed one, so I had to slow down and build GM4 before the resource. I took it on 125, gained many stats, finished building control in the tower over a couple of days, and went to seize cities. Capitulation followed.
Thanks for the game!

The surrender was also quite fat. By the end of the first week, there were 6 cities, including a Tower, and oil was already available. But from mid-week, the opponent showed angels, high stats, and a stronger army. On 122, I had 28 ducks on Tazar, but the army was still smaller. At this point, I finally realized something was wrong. I gathered more angels, boots with gloves, some stat artifacts, and expanded as far as possible. By 126, their total stats were over 20 higher. On 127, DD was built on the first try. On 131, the opponent started seizing Castles with full control, breaking the chain. I needed TP, but it wasn't granted on the first rebuild with the library on 132. There is no Dragon Utopia (there is one, but it can only be reached via DD, and the opponent has already captured the nearest cities), there are no stats to take from anywhere, and control will be built when it's already too late. That's where I gave up. Thanks for the game and good luck in the tournament!
