A decent start with Moner: on 111, vampire lords from the refuge, road advantage (the opponent insisted on playing without freshmode), confident construction into psychos, didn't even try to build birds. Everything was going well until on 121 I jumped into a Griffin Conservatory 2-4, it was maxed, Moner retreats in disgrace. The second attempt to storm that conservatory also failed, eventually I only captured it on 131.
On the third week, I went down into the treasure zone; there were goodies, but with rather scary guards, and I had no Earth magic (by the way, never leveled it up to the end of the game). Among other things, I had to ignore the box behind Titans and the shield +4 all behind Bears. With a delivery on 141, I took the Book of Air from the Unicorns, then another Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive, and things seemed to be improving, but on 144 the opponent broke through the GO and was intent on giving me a thrashing. In response to my KV, he had KZ in his arsenal, so my attack was unsuccessful, and for the next week and a half I fully used the advantages of the blue color — attacking on the opponent's turn, casting spells, exhausting him, forcing him to spend mana, and then sitting in town with full mana on his turn.
There were several assaults on the town, sweaty zero-sum trades. Seeking to deprive me of magical trump cards, the opponent sent Labetha on an expedition for the Recanter in my secondary town, but I managed to twist and turn and kill her; I took the Recanter with me.
At some point, the opponent also revealed Dimension Door, and things got really grim. But strangely enough, right after that the pressure eased, and I managed to gather the swamp respawn in 3 days — three Griffin Conservatories, a Dragon Fly Hive, and the missing part of the AotD. The sixth week of the game arrived, and with fresh bird growth, 8 Angels, and the AotD under the Recanter, I suddenly found myself in a leading position. After that, there was a bit of cat-and-mouse, where Moner twisted and turned as best he could to be everywhere at once (I didn't have Town Portal). On 226, I snatched the opponent's main; there was no guild there. On 227, all the enemy brethren were hanging out in my underground. I kill Labetha and Clavius, but I don't have enough movement points to reach Tamika.
On 231, I watch Tamika go into my unfinished treasure zone, beat the Titans for the box, and then the Bears for the shield +4 all. But after all the trades, Tamika turned out to be unable to defeat them.
Thank you for the game, it was sweaty and interesting, like it hasn't been in a long time.
Nominally 1-1, but the opponent stated he was withdrawing.
