I spotted a КЗ in the neighboring zone, a decent start on skeletons, plenty of money for the template, and an external dwelling of horses, whose guard wiped me out at 117) fortunately I managed to stick them in the fort; eventually, somehow at 127 I took 2 external dwellings, at 133 I took the КЗ and went in the same zone toward a spotted КВ from the overview for the titans. With full control found by chance, I managed to get skeletons and stats near 20; in the end, I caught up with an opponent who had no control but decent stats and 87 ducks. My army was 23 gr horses, 35 ducks, and 600 gr skeletons + a strong combat unit, while Armageddon flew back at me. A glorious victory for the horde, 2-1, thanks for the games.

I was sure that a Necromancer start with a 6000 rollback makes it mandatory to reset this template without looking, and that's the only reason I didn't reset it myself. On the second day, I discovered a bugged passage to the native computer, but my joy was short-lived: the computer wiped me out without a chance, buyback on one bird :( Nevertheless, using military cunning, I managed to take the pink citadel first and an orange ramp at 121. On the second day, I painted another village, scouted a bunch of Hives, and from 131 finally started collecting them. In general, I eventually scaled up in terms of one-unit meat, but not in artifacts: while the opponent had full control lying on the ground, I only saw books of water and fire, the sentinel's shield, and boots of levitation. By the end of the game, I built a tower in the village and even rebuilt the fourth level several times, but still got nothing. And yes, the map trolled me hard: on such a template, I didn't find a single Dragon Utopia (the opponent found one) :D In the final battle, it would have been possible to clash if I had anti-magic for the ducks and then cast Armageddon, but there was no anti-magic either, so I just cast Armageddon and surrendered, having no prospects without control. Thanks for the game!
