During week 1, I colored 2 external Lizard dwellings. I took Dungeon - there's a portal there. I broke through to the entrance of the Treasury, and using a teleport into it I figured out where the opponent's secondary Inferno town was, though behind goprams. But based on ГО and the respawn, I know where a possible passage is!.. I revealed 3 Griffin Conservatories, 2 of them in the Swamp, 2 hexes apart from each other. One is at the Dungeon - a Trog.
I decided to run to the 2 Swamp ones, even though they are far away. But that gives me time to buy troops...
By 122 I'm at them.
123 - 3 angels...
124 already at the entrance to the Inferno.
125. I arrive - Taz with advanced Offense, true, no artifacts, skills are weak, but the troops are decent... 3 angels, 91 Lizard Warriors, and the rest of the Stronghold growth...
126. I'm 2 hexes short of the opponent's stronghold.
127. I capture the Dungeon. But while Zhenya distracts me with writing about how I came a bit earlier than he expected and that he would have given me a fight, I forget to build the Mana Vortex and run to where, as Zhenya told me, his Miner is standing. Well, okay, I think, if anything there's a path to retreat - at home there's a Griffin Conservatory + troops will be decent by 131, and I have money!..
In short, I run out onto the snow. There the Miner meets me, stats are roughly the same, but there are more troops in terms of hit points. 3 angels, 14 Wyverns, 16 Greater Demons, 6 Pit Fiends, 91 Greater Troglodytes, 14 Evil Eyes + an artifact for +1 HP and +1 speed. Zhenya casts Mass Haste, but starts to wait... In connection with this, the retaliation from the Harpies against my 13 Greater Flies doesn't go through, because Haste is removed after the counterstrike and the Harpies remain in front of the Flies, blocking them. As a result, the opponent didn't play the battle particularly successfully, so I killed almost everything except 2 Wyverns and 8 Evil Eyes and fled with 12 Lizard Warriors. Since full map control is mine, it's useless to keep fighting... Thanks for the game!
