The start was rich, I built up at home and in the Castle, even had joins — everything went into Griffin Conservatory-3, and then poverty immediately set in, barely enough for army splitting.
On the 2nd month I seemed to work efficiently, but only found 2 hives and 50 swordsmen, only 6 angels, and due to poverty I started building the Mage Guild only on 127, taking the only Naga Bank, I couldn't even afford Chain for the speed artifact by the road.
On 131, deep in a treasury, I found a pre-maxi Utopia, with a +4+4 vest, a similar hat, and KO — very decent.
But then everything became dreary again, I walked along the road for a week — only found a Utopia with a +12-3 shield and 50 swordsmen. At the end of the week, I took the lower Cartographer — the opponent takes it the following turn and baits himself. In FB1 (AOTD+KS from the opponent), I kill half of his army, but he's had control for a while — he immediately joins another 30 griffins and 30 manticores. With them, he baits himself again. In FB2, I kill less — the opponent strikes with magic, while I have nothing. Towards the end, I blinded 2 of his stacks and was preparing to kill the 3rd — but a misclick, I take another pot and the opponent runs away, to seize half of the castles in the following turns.
Neither Logistics nor Air was ever offered. 3rd rebuild — 6 level 5 spells — gave only Fly. I ran around on foot with the main hero for another week, recapturing resources. The 5th rebuild gave Dimension Door, but somewhat late; the map was scraps.
Thanks for the game, I regret the hwrulez, the opponent played very well under time pressure.
