vitalic (red, swamp, Tazar) def Sir Javdet (blue, Inferno, Pir) 2SM4D(3) 125
In the first turn, he built 1-6 with a Castle and took a secondary Necropolis. Then he exchanged everything for money and reached his opponent through the Dungeon. He brutally eliminated two mages because arrows don't affect Efreet, but Tazar took his opponent's capital and was unstoppable.
Tazar: 4, 9, 2, 3 (expert acceleration, +1 speed, expert archery) 45 lizards, 6 sprites, 9 mighty gorgons, 91 gnolls, and flies.

Thanks for the game.

The resource spawn was very poor, and there were only 8 archers at the start (compared to Tazar's 26). It was very difficult to gather resources. He decided not to restart, and that was a mistake. He didn't have enough money for a Stronghold; in short, he had 4 Efreet, some minor units, and Pir, who was quickly gaining strength. On day 1.2.2, he found a gold mine, guarded by 43 fire elementals – only the Efreet survived. Then Tazar arrived. He ran past him, looking for his Castle, and lost his own without a fight. By day 7, he could have made it, but in the end, he got lost in the Dungeon and surrendered.

Thanks to Vitalik for the game.
