By the end of the week, he built Hydras and got a +6 shield; I saw 2 treasure zones and a couple of hives. Gunnar joined our heroes; at first, he did everything for us. Tazik wasn't very good this time, but still not critically so. 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, with an unpleasant mistake: he went to the reptiles with messed up terrain 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 great stats.
At one point, when I was planning to process one 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 plans and take the corner village’s treasure zone with what I had. The outcome 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, there began fierce battles for 3-5 cities a day, no matter the cost.
But time worked in my favor because it was possible not only to regain territory but also to expand the area of influence. After getting bracers, I managed to cut off Alamar, one of the jumping-running red heroes. In the end, 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.
Thanks for the game!!
