«SM-masters II»

The advantages were: a big retreat, a home with earth near the main, good scout coverage. I made Crag Hack my main. The scout coverage gave immediate awareness of all adjacent zones. I planned to take the opponent's adjacent zone on 116 and the main on 121. But the block in the adjacent zone only allowed me to take it around 121. On the second week, I took a Dragon Fly Hive in the adjacent zone for 12 Wyverns, then the opponent’s empty main. The opponent in his Barbarian adjacent zone had a Hat of Knowledge +4, Doublets, and Boots. Approaching the Barbarian castle, I saw Tanta there with a lot of mana and decided to retreat. I immediately went with Sandro to the treasure zone, and led Crag Hack to another one. But I should have had Crag Hack clear the main and take the Naga Bank first, because I was experiencing a gold shortage. Tanta went into the treasure zone with Gloves and +10 Necromancers. In general, the question was whether Tanta would find Dimension Door. At the start of the 4th, my Sandro reached a Dragon Utopia, took it to Town Portal and transfer the army to Crag Hack for clearing another treasure zone. But then I messed up and Town Portal'd Crag Hack instead. And there was exactly the winning Magic Cloak. I started waiting for Tanta with Ballistics in the adjacent zone. I thought about casting Anti-Magic with Ballistics and fighting somehow. But Tanta didn't quite reach the castle. I tricked him out of all his unit singles with an Angel and attacked with Crag Hack. Crag Hack roughly 18 4 5 5 with 45 Wyverns and 350 Skeletons against Tanta 9 9 22 10 with 650 Skeletons. Through Mass Haste, I crushed him in 3 turns.
