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

Paid 1200 for the color, ate through my 3 restarts, the opponent had one more restart, saw 2 native units, rejoiced. Too early. When the opponent didn't take a restart - I saw nothing but horror around. A block on the road with 50-99 lizards (turned out to be 70), a wood mine far away and ultimately blocked. Decided not to build nagas, since there was hardly any gold, decided to rush Mage Guild. Due to a misclick in the max-vault I lost 20 gremlins, things got sad. On 121 Goshhan arrived at the tavern, a necromancer's cloak was lying around, things got a bit cheerier, but I understood nothing good was here yet. On 121 I broke through to the conflux, and surprise - 20-49 gr gorgons for a box and an obelisk (turned out to be 39 gorgons and 10k experience). On 122 the opponent exposed himself, Kirr stood near the portal. At least some chance. Attacked the opponent with Solmyr, thinned out the elves and shaved a pegasus, then bought troops and attacked with Galthran. The opponent surrendered with 5 horses and 38 centaurs without elves. Well, at least a breather. Then I doubled Solmyr's mana and a day later thinned out the gorgons. But since there were 39 of them, there was a risk that they were level 4-5 or all elemental. So I decided to take the box not with Galthran, but with Solmyr. It turned out to be 10k experience anyway, but I wasn't upset. Solmyr looked very solid with Intelligence and Expert Air. After killing the conflux, poured everything into money, built a university, leveled Earth for Solmyr and Galthran. Then Galthran necromanced, and Solmyr broke through 6k monk guards. Reached the village and realized there was literally nothing there. Luckily at that moment I built Resurrection at home and realized I could take the utopia under double mana 1-2. On level 5 I got Fly and Implosion. Took the only Griffin Conservatory I saw under Fly, since there was also double mana nearby. Then I dove into double mana, with 280 mana went for the utopia. By some miracle and calculation I managed to take the tier 3, which I thought I'd lose to. Mana was exactly enough (Implosions and Resurrection decided it). It gave royally: +6 all, +4 all, a sword +6 attack, and the Black Orb. Then I thought of taking another utopia and then on 137 taking the Faerie Dragon dwelling, but the opponent disrupted the idyll. He captured my Barbarian castle and holed up there. I figured I'd attack, he hadn't taken any utopias judging by the tavern, and if anything - I'd buy him off if there's a Reckanter. Reckanter wasn't there. The finale went one-sided, though due to inattention I missed 3 angels, which the horses covered. But it's fine. There were 6 birds and 120 skeletons left, and with them I still took the Faerie Dragon dwelling on 137. But the opponent surrendered after losing the finale.

Thanks for the game!
