At the end of the week, I built Hydras and got a +6 shield; I saw 2 treasure zones and a couple of hives. Gunnar joined my heroes; at first, I did everything with him. Tazik wasn’t very good this time, but it wasn't critical. Opp had Crag and Dessa. By day 123, well-leveled hero combinations started to make inroads into the Dragon Utopia. Chains, hives, a couple of Pandoras, and on day 131 – the first Dragon Utopia was taken, but there was an unpleasant mistake: he went to the reptiles with Earth magic and 80 mana with Gunnar, having a resurrection scroll, but the Mage Guild was only level 3 at that moment. As a result, out of 5 Hydras, only one remained, along with Monarchs. But they were given good stats.
At one point, when I was planning to clear a zone in one direction and move to the other side to take the hives, Opp suddenly appeared and treacherously took two hives near my only town with a tower under construction at 4 am. I had to change all my plans and take the Dragon Utopia in the corner village with what I had. The result was excellent - by the end of the day, I was already staying in a village with a Fortress and impressive stats.
Opp didn't attack, and I took his city with the Mage Guild. From that moment on, we started taking 3-5 cities a day at any cost.
But time worked for me because I could not only regain territory but also expand my area of influence. After getting bracers, I managed to cut off Alamar, one of the jumping/running red heroes. As a result, after a week of this **madness, on day 211, Opp used the color bonus and attacked with a bunch of Vivs, birds, and angels. The battle was more of a formality, despite the difference in purchases.
Thank you for the game!!
