After several restarts, we started the game. I spawned in the Underworld, and Shakti had about 145 Troglodytes in total. I upgraded them and sent them into battle. My starting area was poor in gold, and I needed to secure resources. There was a Pandora's Box guarded by 24 Black Riders (Necropolis), and an Artifact - a +6 Attack Mace - guarded by about 75 Treants. There were no Crypts, Gnome Mines, or Nagabanks.
117 - Cats in the Castle. I broke through to the surface, fighting through about 25 upgraded Water Elementals and about 55 Harpies. I took a secondary Stronghold. I found a Grail - Titan Swarm.
127 - I'm finishing the Dragons and Minotaurs. I send scouts into the secondary Stronghold area. The scouts visited the skeletons and brought me two Artifacts: Boots of Swiftness and a Cloak +2 Strength and +2 Knowledge. I freed a level 10 Hero from the Dungeon (only good for Logistics Expertise). I can't afford to buy troops.
137 - I return to the Capital. I have a money problem; I could only buy Troglodytes and a few Shooting Eyes. I took a second secondary - Necropolis.
147 - I took two Conservatories with 2 and 2 Angels each, a Pandora's Box, and the +6 Artifact (see description above). I move into the secondary Stronghold area. I take the Behemoth Brood. In the Stronghold, in the Castle, Birds and Behemoths were built; Shakti was preparing to take the Dragon Utopia.
217 - I take the Dragon Utopia. Shakti
21 10 5 6, army: 4 Angels, 6 Behemoths, 12 Thunderbirds, 45 Shooting Eyes, 56 upgraded Harpies, 56 Troglodytes. In the Utopia, I received a Cloak +2 to Troop Speed, a Sphere of Vulnerability, Greaves +1 Strength and Knowledge, an Artifact - a 3rd-level Growth bonus of 4 per week, and 20,000 Gold. I buy Cats in the Capital and prepare to upgrade the Dragons.
At this point, the opponent asked for an autosave. I refused, explaining that I was strictly following the Forum rules, as I had been in similar situations many times myself. After that, the victory was awarded to me.
Thank you for the game.
