Favorites, to battle! - 11 - The Battle of Favorites! - 11

GG, thanks for the game. We played without restarts, I got decent heroes, enemy was Dungeon + Castle, a stable on the way, Tanta with Earth and good heroes +7 speed for Necropolis. The only unpleasant thing was just one road, but it's in 3k and there's a no-penalty zone there. I quickly snaked my own respawn, and on the first day I took both enemies. At the start of the second week, I grabbed two level 2 Griffin Conservatories and simultaneously broke into two treasure sites, one turned out to be completely empty, just 2 spellbooks + some resources. The second one gave me Necromancer's Cloak, a few stacks, and several fat boxes; before the boxes I took Expert Wisdom on Tanta instead of Intelligence, but no spells were provided. Not a single Dragon Utopia was revealed. The Tower went up on the second week, but neither Dimension Door nor Town Portal were provided. On day 133, I rebuilt Dimension Door and broke into a super-treasure site with double mana. Tanta with Earth and Air magic scoured the entire treasure site in 3 turns, collected the Hives, picked up KZ from the ground, gathered a flask for Elixir, and finally found a Dragon Utopia, which gave 2 OL and 3 OL. On day 137, I reset mana and went to cover the opponent. I see him sitting in town with all his power and 100 mana, I have 40 mana, but my power is much greater and I see an unclaimed Dragon Utopia nearby. Hmm, what to do?! I went to take the Dragon Utopia instead of winning the game and fell short by 7 movement points. The Dragon Utopia gave a bunch of stats, and the opponent went to capture my towns. By mana, I have 150, he has 300, and then the long-unclaimed Intelligence came back to bite me. I decided to dive into another super-treasure site. I picked up some ducks, bracers, a hat +4 4 there, and that was it for a rather large super-treasure site. No Dragon Utopia, no stats, no magic protection. Just one more Dragon Utopia, and I would have upgraded 8 Archers. Meanwhile, the opponent captured my towns, leaving only two. I decided to try diving into a third super-treasure site, but first an Armageddon from the Green player caught up with me, then the Nagash player with 200+ mana against my 70 crushed me. No Cloak of the Undead King, no Cape. He has more ducks and Monarchs, 5 of my Angels against 12 of his, I still have 30 Pits, he has some fresh meat. My Skeletons are 1600 against his 700. I have more combat stats, SP is the same. If they'd provided even some magic protection, maybe we could have kept spinning, but as it is, an easy game for the opponent.

There, Town Portal and Dimension Door both on the first attempt, and more power from the same zones as mine, but I have + 2 extracted super-treasure sites on top. Only because I'm a Necromancer, with 1600 Skeletons and Elixir, the power was stronger.
