Thanks for the game and the experience.

It happened. In this game, I frankly and shamelessly tried to manipulate the respawn, deciding that chances would exist only up to and including 127. I set a pace for myself that I couldn't maintain, partly due to the respawn, partly due to execution. At 113 — secondary Tower, then the Griffin Conservatory was scouted at 3-4, a Pandora's Box for 5000, two crypts. At 117 — pushed to the limit, I decided to set up a Castle with Cavalry, and after buying them out, I unwisely decided to extort money from the Gnomes (20 each). The Gnomes objected. :). After the wipe, I could forget about rushes and raids on the second, and I had no desire to wait for a 3-4 stack of Skeletons (or hope for a free opponent mistake). Conclusion — you cannot completely force circumstances. With Cavalry in the Stronghold, a struggle was also possible; in that regard, my opponent is right.
Thanks to the opponent for the game.
