15.08.2017 MicroElf (Red, Stronghold, Gunnisson) lose Timbuktu (Blue, Fortress, Broghild) 6lm10a 211

The first week was very productive. I got a decent start, built bears in the castle, and took my native computer. The Griffin Conservatories and a convenient two-slot were scouted and checked along the road; I was preparing to take it. But on day 121, I scouted and checked a two-slot at the computer's respawn and decided to rush it – to start with it right away. The unpurchased army didn't bother me much, and I completely forgot about the grass speed bonus. As a result, I couldn't handle it at all, but at the last moment I managed to retreat on the last orc. I could have surrendered there, but the opponent had just taken my native computer's town, and I decided to try finishing off the Griffin Conservatory and then somehow recover using the angels.
On the second week, unfortunately, I couldn't cleanly take the second Griffin Conservatory, and I still left one angel there due to morale. But I built up the second town decently and prepared to take the next computer.
On day 131, I immediately took the computer, and right then the opponent emerged from the other side, cutting me off. Judging by his army, he had already taken the Dragon Fly Hive, but he had only one angel. The Dungeon was built luxuriously; I bunkered down there to defend. The opponent turned around and zipped off into a one-way portal. At that moment, I made a second fateful decision: to go into my native super treasure zone. I knew the army was too small, but I really hoped to find hive there. In the end, the minimal hive was blocked, and my journey through the treasure zone ended there. A lot of time was wasted. However, I discovered three hives in another zone, took a village there with a scout hero, and after blocking the exit from the one-way portal (so the opponent couldn't come), I moved the army there.
On the fourth week, I broke those hives, but unfortunately they were modest. I also scouted another small Dragon Fly Hive and a Griffin Conservatory near the orange computer's respawn. I took the town there during a split with no major difficulties. The problem was leveling Gunnisson without Earth magic (couldn't properly use Town Portal), plus I had to hold the one-way portal. On day 136, the opponent arrived with 2 Dimension Doors. The stats advantage was significant, but the army difference wasn't that big – I could have tried to defend in the town. The opponent gave me a couple of days, but Gunnisson still didn't advance Earth magic in that time => I couldn't cast Town Portal. Thanks for the game.
P.S. I was 200 movement points short of the 15k experience from the already triggered Pandora's Box; on the next level-up, Earth magic finally advanced. Every little thing can be decisive.
