The opponent used all restarts, and my starting position looked decent at first glance - external dwellings of monks and griffins next to the castle, two neighboring respawns are grassy, archers are built. I have Orrin, I make him the main hero, let's play. There's enough gold and resources, I scouted two Naga Banks, which gives hope for an early Portal of Glory. On the first week, I get cavalry in the castle, a secondary hero is Conflux, an external griffin dwelling, a crypt, a mini-dwarf dwelling. On the second week, I take another secondary - Conflux again, a Naga Bank and a Conservatory nearby, I checked the Naga Bank, there are 20 or 30 Nagas, I take the Conservatory first (minimum:( ), then I dive into the Naga Bank on day 127, turns out it's max, I lose the cavalry, pikemen, the last griffin, and 24 archers there (the Nagas cast Forgetfulness once unsuccessfully). I captured the external monk dwelling while transporting cavalry. Overall, the situation isn't great. Of three respawns, I've scouted and taken only one Conservatory (there were 2 total, but the second is far away, never took it), took a max Naga Bank, a Medusa Pond, a couple of crypts, but I managed to build Angels on the second week, there are 2 more Naga Banks left (both tier 3 zones). I can't go into the Dragon Utopia on the third week, but the prospects seem decent - at the entrance to the rocky adjacent tier 3 zone, a Dragon Utopia is visible, and on another secondary respawn there's a passage to an underground tier 3 zone behind a horde of Forest Elves. However, there is also another path to a teleporter blocked by 20-49 wyverns. I left it risky because it most likely led to a respawn adjacent to red's. So I head there first, checked the other side - indeed, it's a swampy respawn adjacent to red's, I buy up the army and head for the castle. It turned out the castle was neutral, connected to red's but with a detour, so no worries. That means red's secondary (one) is in the Dungeon. By the third week, I manage to take the last Naga Bank via a chain and breach the passage to the underground tier 3 zone, while Orrin runs to the Dragon Utopia. By the way, it was quite weak - Minotaur Guards, while I saw from Tazar's scouting on the third week with 20-49 Wyverns. So I'm wary and don't plan to linger in the treasure zone, but it didn't work out... Because next to that Dragon Utopia there was another one, as well as an external angel dwelling, then Boots of Speed and Necklace of Dragon Teeth, the box had 60 marksmen:) . The second month started. I return to the surface, where another Dragon Utopia and a second external angel dwelling are found nearby. I revealed a Bow +15% to shooting, I thought I'd take it and go home, because Tazar is already clearing the underground treasure zone that I had scouted with a weak hero. But the Artifact Merchant offers a Bowstring +10% to shooting, and there's also a Bow +5% in the same rocky treasure zone, just need to run for it. I already have the Golden Bow by then, but the Bow of the Sniper is cooler, so I go. On the way, I plunder another Dragon Utopia:) and manage to get to the castle with the Bow of the Sniper, upgrade the Angels there. Tazar, on my respawn, goes in the wrong direction towards my secondary, thinking I have two respawns instead of three (which looked likely from his side), and meanwhile I get a chance to take yet another Dragon Utopia - it's not far from the teleporter on the swampy respawn, that's the fifth one already:) . It gave very little again. Meanwhile, Tazar's stats are already terrifying, but I have the Bow of the Sniper and the Red Orb. On day 225, I attack him, who had stopped at the teleporter. After a tough megabattle, Orrin emerges victorious. I have about 11 Archangels left, 5-8 each of Monks, Champions, Crusaders, and Griffins, about half the Archers.
Thanks for the game.
