I would like to know if anyone has statistics or a link with information about which other faction can take Utopia or defeat dragons by the end of the first week.
If you really want to, you can fly into space (quote).
In 3.1, due to the AI's stupidity against Summoning, any hero with a Crystal and enough mana for 2 casts tears through any number of dragons (except, perhaps, Emerald Dragons due to their initiative and speed, but even then, you can find a way) and takes Utopia of any difficulty level with a direct attack.
So, Orson's strength is not in quickly getting a Battle Standard.
Yes, here is a replay (watch at a very fast speed so you don't fall asleep):
Горящие реки сходили с ума, пытаясь остаться водой,
Земля пропустила коварный удар, раскрывшись на шаге вперёд,
Взлетел разъярённым драконом Огонь и понял, что тоже умрёт...
