Started playing despite the castles, because Roland came in and saw a Cartographer behind thieves on day one. In the end, on 113 I broke through it, albeit with losses, saw Wings in one of the not-too-distant treasure sites, and went for them from then on. After capturing them, I had 50 dragons and 5 angels, then managed to jail-join 6 titans and 90 magmas, assembled the Elixir, and on the next turn was collecting the Cloak of the Undead King, but saw my opponent's noob, then spotted the main army in a village, decided to attack with Cape of Speed, and +25 to combat stats and the Elixir won the day, even though my opponent had the advantage in army strength. Thanks for the game.
I was blue and chose from three templates.
Finally got the geography template - except all 3 roads were blocked for me right away, and the opponent didn't take a restart, obviously because of some unknown imba. Anyway, didn't do anything until 116, picked up coins, leveled Nile, then took an external dwelling of horses, on 121 Cyra came, on 124 - 5 angels, 10 nagas, first joins, entered pre-treasure zone. Then fattened up along the path - it wasn't bad, but almost a week of lost tempo + the opponent's Cartographer stopped me. Only just grabbed КЗ and the Cap, when I got hit under Cape of Speed with roughly equal army strength, but 20 30 vs 10 10 - no way. Thanks for the match and for choosing a fun template.
