13.06.2018 Tarmo(Red, Necropolis, Tarmo) lose stanmario(Blue, Dungeon, Shakti) 2sm4d(3) 246!

Thanks for the game!
The map gave a wide respawn, but without nooks and without creature objects.
111-117 I paved a bloody road with troglodyte corpses to my outer in the underground.
121-127 I poked around various dwarf dwellings, not knowing where to go, since all other passages were far away without roads.
131-137 out of desperation, I decide to move the whole crowd to the remaining farthest unexplored corner of the map. And hallelujah! I find a portal and the red secondary. I capture it and finally move Shakti into the treasure zone.
141-147 Red breaks through the GO and I evacuate with all who remain to his former secondary, where I successfully defend with weak units and simultaneously collect Dragon Flies and Giants in the treasure zone.
211-217 I come out of the treasure zone and capture all the castles, leaving red with only one castle in the underground. Funny moment, at the end of the week our two mains pass by each other. I was sure I had taken Explosion from the Necro in the capital and could fight decently and counter the enemy's Explosion. But it turns out my Wisdom was under-leveled, and Red hadn't even learned it yet.
221-237 Red takes Explosion and Growth and chases my main, but with Logistics and Wings I run away into another treasure zone hoping to find the Red Orb, since I'm seriously behind in magic. In short, I run around the entire map in circles for two weeks, clear 2 more treasure zones. But not a single Dragon Utopia, only Dragon Fly Hives and the Book of Air, plus a couple of relics. And during this time Red recaptures all my castles except one.
241 Week of epic battles. It started when I suddenly emerge with 106 Dragon Flies from the other end of the map, where I wasn't expected at all, and fortify myself in the enemy's secondary. Then, as tradition, I recapture all the main castles and on 244 the Necro gathers all his force and attacks me in my capital. I have 106 Dragon Flies, lots of meat, 27 Spell Power + Chain Lightning + Sphere of Air, a health artifact set, and even the cursed armor set in my pocket for luck. Tarmo has 1500 skeletons, meat, 38 Spell Power, Explosion, and a surprise.
With a fierce exchange of Explosion and Chain we nearly wiped each other out, and I finished off the skeletons with meat. I already thought victory was mine, but then the opponent summons Fire Elementals and... drumroll... Armageddon! I'm left with only a couple of Dragon Flies and five Titans. I immediately cast Anti-Magic on them and try to run to buy time. With the remaining mana I resurrect 60 Dragon Flies, and Red buys back because he miscalculated his mana (and it was very close to a loss). Then I realize I'll be crushed by Armageddon and Elementals, or simply have my Dragon Flies wiped out by Explosion, and I need to do something.
Salvation came in a speed advantage. I fly to the opponent's respawn and take a cleverly hidden Griffin Conservatory (a 4-stack!), which I scouted in the first week. Then I have an amulet +1 speed and I can cast Anti-Magic on the Dragon Flies first to simply devour all his remaining meat. The next day I manage to return to the castle, leave extra Angels there, take 40 Dragon Flies and 1 Angel, and attack Tarmo, who didn't quite make it to the castle. So the plan is simple: cast Anti-Magic on the Dragon Flies, clear the meat ignoring the Elementals, buy back, then attack a second time and finish him with one spell... Everything seemed to go as planned, but instead of buying back, I just fled for some reason. No idea how that happened. A total of -40 Dragon Flies down the drain.
I ride out of the tavern on a lonely troglodyte, pick up the remaining 14 Dragon Flies and 3 Angels, and sit waiting for the attack—the third battle. And it happens the next day; Red attacks me in the castle again. The finale: 5 Angels and 1 skeleton vs 3 Angels and 12 Dragon Flies. I could have killed Tarmo on the first turn since he has 7 units (1*5 Angels, 1 skeleton, and a ballista). One Angel was immediately killed by the towers, I could finish the second with my 3 Angels, and kill the remaining 5 with Chain Lightning. But something went wrong again, and I went defensive with the Angel and didn't even cast anything. And apparently karma repaid me for all those earlier failures—Red didn't punish me for this mistake. In short, as soon as the turn came back to me, I cast Anti-Magic on the Angels, then Chain Lightning on the ballista, and sat watching the Fire Elementals under the castle walls. There was even a funny attempt to catch me when Anti-Magic would run out, but I saw through it right away=D
