We played by Only XL rules with a random template. Sold my Castle for 1600 and bought a color for 1100. Played without restarts. Got a lot of elves at the start, though most of the respawn is cut off by terrain, but along the road there was an external dwelling of elves and 2 Griffin Conservatories. Soon I found a third one as well.
For a long time it wasn't clear what we were playing, although 8mm6a was suspected immediately. On turn 115 I revealed a scout in the underground, which I broke through with 6k from a neighboring zone and was a bit stunned to see a blue village nearby, realizing that my opponent had already killed their own computer and taken the center. However, I devised a plan to gather 3 Griffin Conservatories and, if possible, a couple of hives, and attack on turn 124 as soon as the simultaneous turns ended, since capturing that central village would be very convenient for me.
By the end of the week I killed the Tower computer, placed GM1 and GM2 there, got Slow and Lightning. I leveled Earth magic very quickly. Had artifacts for +1 spell power and knowledge from the start, as well as +3 spell power and +4 knowledge on the respawn.
Turn 121 - hopped into stables in a neighboring zone, topped up mana at the Crown, took the Statue, heading to the Griffin Conservatories.
Turn 122 - upgraded Pegasi and with 60 mana and 37 Grand Elves attacked the 3rd-4th Griffin Conservatory on grass. It was max. The elves cast Forgetfulness in the very first round and wiped out the Griffin guards. The Griffins cast Forgetfulness once during the fight and it wasn't critical. In the end I only lost 1 Dendroid and a couple of singles.
Turn 123 - Kyrre went to the 3rd Griffin Conservatory, the army left to take 2 hives underground but only took 1, with 6 Beholders, because I was afraid I couldn't extract the army, and a very convenient chance appeared to attack Shakti, who had just taken a hive in the center. Got Armor and advanced it.
Turn 124 - returned the army, destroyed the 3rd Griffin Conservatory, took basic Air for cheaper Lightning, transferred to Uland, who rushed into the center through a portal and, after killing blockers along with the blue hero, took the central tower. I buy Kyrre there and attack.
Kyrre 5-9-7-7, 41 mana. 9 Angels, 37 Grand Elves, 6 Vivi, 20+ Centaurs, 11 Dwarves, 2 Dendroids, 3 Silver Pegasi.
Shakti 4-5-2-2, 16 mana. 26 Vivi, 40 Greater Gaze, 60+ Greater Troglodytes and their singles.
Opponent positioned with Tactics under my Grand Elves, I cast Forgetfulness, in response they conceded. Thanks for the game!
