Favorites, to battle! - 10 - The Battle of Favorites! - 10

There were no more restarts. I played decently, at my usual level. :D I didn't pick up a +4 shield on the respawn, and I didn't take the Necropolis, although I did grab the green Tower with 2K income. On turn 121, with Tantum (a weak player), it was convenient to stand and attack, dealing 68 damage to Griffins per turn and gathering resources. But I see another Hive and a village, and I'm not sure where to rush. I attack another 20+ Giant Spiders and still don't go into the Hive. Then, on turn 122, Kirr appears and severely punishes me for being careless and not understanding the 8mm6a build. I have to pay for the Ballista, and I buy my way out with 18 Trogols and 5 Medusas. There are 14 Elves and 9 Dwarves left. It's too late, we save, and then I realize that the Dryads and Pegasi haven't even entered the game, and the opponent is just going to gather 2 more Hives that have already been cleared. There is a Dimmer, though, so I can still defend the respawn, get +4 Knowledge, and have a Mage War. The GM2 with a Bolt has already been built. Objectively, the prospects are bleak; I wonder if I didn't save enough money. On turn 123, after the restart, the opponent makes a generous gift and surrenders in the Hive, which I still don't understand. Thank you for the game!
