[Tournaments-SoD+FreshMod] Favorites, to battle! - 12 - The Battle of Favorites! - 12

As always, an ambiguous 8xm12a.
I couldn't find anything to hold on to. The only good things were the boots and, as I realized later, the knowledge of where the Grail was.
At the start of week 2, I began spending resources and time on digging up the Grail, while simultaneously getting completely crushed by the orange Conflux.
By day 131, my entire army consisted of a few Wyverns and 8 Gorgons. But by then I had finished off the computer and finally found a Dragon Fly Hive in zone 4.
This allowed me, with stats around 8 8 and no Mass Magic, to take the first Dragon Utopia on day 134, with a loss of as many as 18 Gorgons and 4 Wyverns.
Since the Utopia contained Wings, I managed to roughly catch up to my opponent in army size and began expanding into their territory.
There were maximum rebuilds there, which delayed the upgrade of 16 Hydras and 40 Wyverns and, of course, slowed down development.
2-1. Thanks for the games!
