It was all as simple as 2x2, Shakti died on week 1 in a medusa dwelling with 8 per stack; minotaurs were already standing and purchased, good leveling, but on the way to a secondary town there was a medusa dwelling with 4-8... well, how could one not take the risk? 4-6 were blown to splinters, but the 1/3 probability worked against Shakti: 8 in a stack, and on top of that morale and petrification procced for the medusas, and 6 of them remained. End of week result: minotaurs in the castle, 3 external dwellings of troglodytes. The scout with a bow nevertheless took the secondary town; starting from week 2, it was a clean slate, it was good that Monere was there. End of week 2: external dwelling of green dragons in a treasure zone, cats at home. The grassy respawn had many money-generating buildings; Monere started bombing them on week 3 in order to build angels. And then again bad luck: in a max naga bank, the nagas broke loose, morale every round — crawled out of there with 4 minotaurs and 1 dragon, the main stack hopelessly ruined. Fed papa experience all week, even consumed all the chests. End of week result: angels were built, but without a castle.
142 cons-three, shook the hives on the grass all week and at the end of the week broke a level 2 Dragon Utopia: a bag of gold and Admiral's Hat. The treasure zone is not even half cleared, there is another one of roughly equal size, swooped in on another Castle secondary town. The Dragon Utopias dropped complete junk the whole way; stats weren't even close to Tazar's, then later in the contested treasure zone (where Tazar stuck his nose in only toward the end of the game, and even then took only 2 hives and pandora's boxes) a max Dragon Utopia brought 2 books at once and Gladius. There was a plan to catch him there with Shackles of War, arches, and a red orb (the entire treasure zone had already been scouted by me), but the opponent proposed a final battle at the end of the week... Honestly, I didn't feel like grinding for another month with 2 Castles (2 external dwellings of griffins, pokemons, and bows with GB), although my treasure zone wasn't fully devoured yet, and I agreed; I picked up a cape +2 speed for show, busted a Dragon Utopia one last time (armor +1 to all among the useful stuff), waited until Taz bought up all the resources (I still cut his economy pretty significantly :)) and we clashed. Taz is Taz, I clearly lacked meat, and the basiliks immediately started stoning the arches. That's how the clash turned out. Saves are attached (maybe someone will find it interesting).
