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

Got hammered. Gambled on a fight. Got stuck against a one-way wall — had to force it. On week 1, Crag with Earth magic, native town seized, both towns building Monks — didn't have gold for Angels.
The rest of week 2 I was messing around with nonsense, on day 126 I messed up the sequence of Crag's moves — ended up wasting a bunch of movement points. Wanted to surrender. But I scouted a treasure zone with a couple of Dragon Fly Hives, then it turned out there were 5 hives on one screen... plus КЗ... plus a Colossus and a Dragon Utopia with wings.
After all that, there was a half-hour turn of scooping up goodies with heroes in the zone reachable from the town where Crag was resupplying — thankfully, due to the late stage, most of the stacks were already upgraded and had mana.
Next, I decided to take over the opponent's secondary Tower town, hoping for a built Guild — but they hadn't built it... I did, however, discover a Dragon Utopia, which I quickly took, getting a Sword of Crusader and Bracers (without revealing another Dragon Utopia, which the opponent later took).
Then, on the timer, I didn't manage to fortify in time, and for several turns in a row, there was a scramble over my three built towns with Angels/Archangels being taken and retaken. Thankfully, I didn't let the opponent buy my Angel growths. In the end, on day 225, when I finally found a bit of timer and set heroes to dig for the Grail, the opponent gave up searching for the Helm under AOTD (which I was also searching for) and surrendered. The Helm was a quest item, lying one step away from my village...
28 Archangels, 134 Wyverns (the Dragon Fly Hives were dropping Wyverns like candy — almost no low-tier stacks this time), which I upgraded the next day — the opponent was in a sorry state: 3 Archangels (they did manage to snag the Griffin Conservatory, which was too far for me to run and jump to), only 1500 Skeletons...

Thanks for the game!
