Good respawn, Shakti came as a patroller, quickly took the secondary Rampart, on 117 nagas with a citadel. On the second week, I broke through to grind on rocky terrain. I hoped to gather wyverns and tackle a Dragon Utopia, but there were only three hives and small ones, so that fell through. However, I discovered three Dragon Utopias. I waited until the 4th week and cleared everything out of the castle. On 144, through ГО, blue breaks through with an over-leveled hero who had smashed two Dragon Utopias with a large army and captures the capital.
On the 4th week, I break three Dragon Utopias: Titan's Cuirass, sword +12 to stats, hat +4 to mana and SP, sphere of air, cloak of denial, book of fire. And in the last Dragon Utopia, they gave the wizard's hat. Plus expert logistics on Shakti and retrieved boots of speed. Minus – can't handle Castle's double growth; at the start of the fifth week, Val has 46 horses.
We start a cat-and-mouse game, Shakti is much more mobile and captures towns: I hoped to play longer, but Valeska abandons castles and goes to level up in the Dungeon in search of dimension door.
I take both blue's Castles and the Stronghold, start building an army, see lots of good targets – hives, preserves, but then I was tempted to attack 221 on my former capital – a pure red-rush. Too bad; the game was interesting, but rules are rules, a tournament referee must follow them first and foremost.
Respect to Neoandy, he behaved courteously. Many thanks for the game.
