There were absolutely no caches at the respawn and money was scarce. The same-faction player successfully leveled up expert tactics quickly, which allowed for breaking through ranged blocks in the underground with symbolic losses. During the first week, I took out my own AI companion, but had a bit of bad luck — I scouted his respawn in only one direction, while a pile of cash was lying right next to it, but on the other side.
During the second week, I had to make do with my starting troops and look for money for one-time purchases. I took out the opponent's AI companion, who couldn't find the way to him. On another front, I constantly had to kill the pink player, who came to me on cooldown, while I had no desire to go after him through the wilderness.
From the start of the third week, I finally started gaining momentum: hives, conservatories, and Pandora's boxes began to drop. Fortunately, scouting was done well and no one interfered except for the annoying pink player.
On the fourth week, I rushed into the corner treasure zone. The Dragon Utopia immediately proved to be rich in stats; satisfied with a small piece, I wanted to reach the opponent before the end of the week. There was no control, but a massive advantage in army and stats did the trick. Thanks for the game.
