Colorado (red, Rampart, Kyrre) def Max395 (Castle, Christian) 2-2-6, 2sm4d(3)

The start was normal, nothing too impressive, but decent enough: plenty of resources, except for crystals — I struggled with them the whole game — not a single Dwarf Cottage! And the free picks gave everything you could want, but not crystals :(((. I managed to scrape together some pegasi. I immediately took two crypts for 2500 each, then went along the road to pick up secondary skills, but after breaking through a pack of 21 water elementals on day 2, I saw a huge crowd of air elementals further down the passage => I had to forget about secondary skills. I stumbled upon an external dwelling of pegasi and was happy. In the end, on the first week I had cavalry in the castle, but money was tight. Near the castle there was a conservatory with a hundred griffins (I didn't want to lose my hero — I was saving money), and on the other side a shield giving +3 attack and defense, all under a horde of vampires :)) On the second week, I took the mage secondary and a conservatory for 1 angel. I built the capitol, but I didn't have enough crystals for dragons (that's putting it mildly — there were none at all!). At the start of the third week, I found an external dragon dwelling (and come on, was I stupid not to have gone 3 tiles to the edge of the map sooner???), then I opened another two conservatories with 2 angels each and two dead naga banks. In the end, by the end of the third week, I finally built dragons with a +3 growth, after trading a bunch of resources. By that time, my opponent had two secondary towns, judging by the terrain — non-native ones (swamp and rocky terrain). Thanks to the generator for 2 universities along the path from the castle — there Kyrre got Offense and Armorer, becoming a really tough lady: at level 14 she had 21-14-12-10. At the end of the 4th week, I took a Dragon Utopia behind the mage secondary — a weak one, but it left 2 angels inside :((( But on the plus side — a Necklace of +3 to all stats and Sandals of the Saint +2. Well, on the fifth week, I went for the opponent — GO — I didn't bother breaking through the horde of bone dragons and instead went to the adjacent zone. There, next to the blue barbarian secondary, I wiped out a second Dragon Utopia — this one was tougher. In the end: a Chalice (+6 all stats), an Ogre's Club +5 Atk., Ring of Speed, Book of Water, and Torso of Legion. I took the blue secondary, visited several beehives + Pandora's boxes. By the end of the 5th week, papa (in the sense of mama) — Kyrre was level 20 with 31-24-22-17. With Expert Air Magic, I kept track of the opponent. And at the start of the 6th week, I made a dash across the swamp to his secondary, leaving 26 Wyverns in my hands. Kyrre — level 20 + Haste Boots — you can imagine... :) In the end, in one turn, I flew past 2 fools, landed in the swamp secondary, and immediately took there: 15 Gorgons, 28 Greater Basilisks, 16 Wyvern Lords, 76 Lizardmen, and 107 Gnolls!!! Quite a haul for me :))) Meanwhile, papa blue got bogged down in the swamp with the main army. He attacked from the swamp secondary, the main army lagging behind, but a big advantage in skills forced the opponent to buy himself off, though he first lost a significant part of his army to my Expert Haste. After that, there was no resistance — I spent a few days mopping up what was left. Thanks to the opponent for the game, and good luck to him in improving!
