In Tanya's absence, I decided to play the final against Vitalik.
At first, it seemed like there was a ton of gold around and everything would be fine, but on day 4 it turned out that not everything was so good, and for some reason I rushed to break through to the top exit (I thought the enemy was behind the passage and wanted to attack on day 6) — as a result, I lost almost my entire army... and it turned out the passage was to an extra town. After that, I barely scraped together enough gold for a town with a DK (this is week 2). Fortunately, I found some gold on day 3 and saved up 600-700 skeletons, and around the same time I found a Dragon's Eye. Then the enemy appeared, but with not a very large army — still, it felt kinda risky, so I decided to run back. The enemy left, and I went to a neighboring area with free stuff. There, I almost immediately ran into a second Dragon's Eye, and it turned out to be insanely sweet — a sword +5 to all stats, a breastplate 4/4; in the first one, I got a necklace +3 to all stats. The skeletons barely increased, and then I noticed Kyrre a day's march away. I quickly rushed home for the bought-out army and additionally built a Portal of Summoning — I just barely had enough for the buyout. Kyrre was a mega runner and captured my town. I got upset and decided not to attack him. I stood next to GO, cleared it, used View Earth to see where the enemy's town was, and reached it in one day and stormed the enemy's main town. Kyrre went and took the town with the Portal of Summoning; GO came back and stood on day 7 so as to reach either town. Kyrre came right up, and I decided to attack immediately, without recapturing the towns. Especially since Vitalik's population was half. 700 GO skeletons turned out to be stronger than Kyrre's 72 ducks. Dudge win.
