"only XL-5"

GG, thanks for the game! After the resets, I got 8mm6a; playing as blue, I had excellent roads, but literally on day 3 I was attacked by 40 necromancer-ridden Wolf Riders. The creatures split into 2 stacks, the Grand Elf immediately ran away, got scared, and made minus thirty Troglodytes. And then the divine sucking began. An army of 30 Troglodytes and 7 Evil Eyes went to war. By the end of the week, the computer still captured the Castle and left a Necromancer there with a small power in the Citadel. The computer, a rare bastard, split the Elves into single units and killed the Necromancer on a thin line, ending up with 8 Dwarves. I lost a ton of tempo and all my Troglodytes on that, and in the end out of all that power, only 6 Evil Eyes remained by turn 117. Fortunately, I found a quest artifact for 19 Harpies guarding 50 Centaurs. On the second week, a Miner showed up; after a full buyout, I had a choice: try with 120 Troglodytes, 70 Centaurs, 10 Elves, and 20 Evil Eyes to dive into a level 3-4 Griffin Conservatory without haste, or dive into the center. I chose the second option, but there were two blocks: Monks and 100 Flies. I turned around and decided to dive into a Treasure; if I could more or less break through the Demons, on the other side there were 10+ Sultans. Nothing to be done, the daddies went to gather Dwarf Cottages deep in the computer’s respawn. On turn 131, a level 3 Griffin Conservatory appeared, then I went to break blocks in the center, where I found a level 2 Griffin Conservatory and 4 Dragon Fly Hives; everything was handled comfortably. By this time, I had already built level 5 Mage Guild in the Rampart, but neither Dimension Door nor Town Portal showed up. I focused forces on rebuilding, scouting the map, and collecting meaty objects. On the third attempt, I rebuilt the Resurrection spell (Town Portal was never given), and in the middle of week 4, I went to take Dragon Utopias in the computer’s respawn. From level 3 and max level, I only got Wings and 4 sets of Overlord from two artifacts. At that moment, the opponent, with superior stats and a huge stack of Skeletons, went on the attack; I had to give him my main town and all cities except one, and retreat to a corner Treasure. There, I found another level 1 Griffin Conservatory and a max Dragon Utopia with 10 Overlords and a Helm. The opponent flew in to finish me off, but for some reason got scared and Town Portaled away. I retook the Rampart; I had a plan to recapture all cities at once, but there wasn’t enough time on the timer. I see the opponent sitting in my main town; I got tired of running back and forth and decided to attack myself, with 35% resistance. Unfortunately, not a single Potion of Spell Power ever dropped. 160 mana vs 400, and he had 34 Spell Power to my 17. And there were 1200 Skeletons. The fights were equal. Well, I could have kept running, jumping, and leaping between cities, recapturing them, leveling my Necromancers, and Necromancing with the fur coat, but I really didn’t want to; I decided to put my faith in resistance, but it was still suicide. However, the resistance kicked in nicely: in the first round, half the stacks resisted; in the second, 4 out of 4 :D If the Spell Power had been equal with Implosion, I might have crushed him.
