"only XL-5"

It's hard to write simply, a ton of emotions. We spawned aggressively, the opponent ate my respawns, I had it, saw a good and large starting zone, didn't respawn. It turned out to be 8xm12a. On day 2, I beat a box with 60 Pikemen and a level 5 Sorcha with Logistics, and it got more fun. The respawn was so rich that I even thought about trying to build Angels on week 1, but changed my mind and dropped Cavalry in the Castle. On 122, I took the first central computer's Necro town, then I managed to run to the Tavern. 2 computers were, surprisingly, quite far, so I didn't even go to them. And then the madness began. Heroes weren't picking up Land on level-ups, but there was a Strategic Hut with Logistics where many heroes got Logistics. However, there were almost no objects (Dragon Fly Hives - Griffin Conservatories) in the center, I was just running along the roads. And building the economy. That helped me a lot later. There were also 2 4-way portals. And, what's worse, there were no accessible Dragon Utopias. I decided to try level 1 Mephala, on 131 I brought her 3 Angels, took 2 Dwarf Cottages, and she managed to get Land. I beat her, learned Logistics in the Hut, and then used her to take 2 more home Griffin Conservatories. At that time, I saw the opponent had already taken his first Dragon Utopia on 132. I was slightly shocked. I started moving faster. Finally found the center with mines and quickly cleared it. Thanks to that, in the Tavern from 132, Control construction was going on continuously. I built it for a long time, because I remember I rebuilt level 5 twice and level 4 three times. There was almost a decisive moment, because the opponent apparently decided once to try to take my main, but didn't make it. Right then, the rebuilding gives Town Portal, I gather an army with Mephala and portal to the main. No luck, the opponent had left. After that, I prayed that the last visible Dragon Utopia wouldn't be taken. And, oh miracle, it wasn't taken, although it was close to the opponent's treasure zone. It turned out to be a maxi, giving +6 All, +5 All, КВ, and a Cap. After that, I snowballed, the opponent snowballed. There was an attempt by the opponent to take the Necro town, but I, with just-leveled Labetha (from a 10k box), took it back and captured the strategic village with Mephala (the bitch still didn't get Air Magic). The opponent apparently decided not to force the issue and started collecting objects. I did too. Thanks to Control, I took many previously inaccessible Griffin Conservatories and Dragon Fly Hives, and finally overtook him in snowballing power. He didn't dare to attack. Until I provoked him. I took a village from him in a micro treasure zone, where there were a ton of yet-untaken Griffin Conservatories and Dragon Fly Hives for him. He apparently got angry and jumped on my main again with the intention of killing. I, with Mephala and Labetha, took 1 Griffin Conservatory each, 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and a +2 Speed Cloak, sold super artifacts, and upgraded the Archers (21 of them). In combat stats, I had a +16 advantage. But he had a magic advantage + I knew he had a Land boost and an Elixir. The opponent attacked the town. My army was bigger, I cast Anti-Magic and flew away from the only stack of Wyverns. He flew up and, damn it, got Morale on him. After that, it's clear, Dispel and Explosion on 12 Archers. Then came the killing of stacks with Explosions, then the opponent tried to Teleport Skeletons, revealing Expert Water Magic, then he summoned 96 Elementals each time, and I could already see my mana starting to deplete faster. But fortunately, he couldn't resist and ultimately cast Armageddon on everything, thus losing Tazar (his army was already dead), and Mephala was supposed to appear in the Tavern. Then he tried to attack the town in that rich micro treasure zone with Gosh'han, but I managed to defend there too with a carefully placed Pasiss (even a Pasiss brings victory). The opponent retreated and surrendered (I would have out-snowballed him over time with 2 visible Griffin Conservatories and several Dragon Fly Hives).

Thanks for the game!
