Final Battle - 12

I expanded more aggressively and held the advantage until the middle of the second week (6 cities against 3 on 117). But aggressive expansion has its costs. I rebuilt my TP 2 days later than Ilya, and most importantly, I chose the most unfortunate directions and zones for momentum. Somehow, everything went sideways throughout the game. For example, I specifically leveled up the Coronius-Jeddith combo to counter Dad, but almost immediately got resurrect in the Mage Guild. "Where are you, Morpheus, when you're needed so much???" (c) In the end, Ilya took key Dragon Utopia for air control and stats from two sides, and I surrendered. Thanks for the game!
