Well, let me briefly write my impressions too, yesterday I was somehow not up to it

1. It wasn't too smart of Deriel to scribble. You shouldn't give Conflux against a fairly strong player on Swamp, even if he has only played it a couple of times. The town itself gives a lot of chances

2. Restart 113 was taken rather riskily, but they forgave it, gave a layout that was, frankly speaking, good

3. 111-116 was played decently, at a good level. He went where he needed to. Not all directions were scouted, but the main areas were taken. At 117, he doesn't take the Minotaur external dwellings (+portal - that's 18-24 units on week 3, which is a nightmare for that Dragon Utopia), and the maxi-tomb is not done very well.. After that, the path to the opponent through the sword +2+2 was clearly visible, although there were quite a few nomads there, but it's fightable. I probably would have gone, but the option is debatable to be honest

4. On the second, the main thing probably is that Shield wasn't learned in the dungeon, and the game became slower, Tazar barely ramps up. Although the overall impression is quite decent

5. Climbing into a maxi-Dragon Utopia without checking it with such an army and no magic is suicide. It seems to me Deriel got tired and overestimated Tazar.
I recently played with him — he took a level 3 hut on the second week, but there was a good stack of Wyverns and magic

6. He tried to salvage an already essentially lost game — huge respect for that

That's just how it is... This is not out of malice, I scolded him with love. Deriel will understand :)

Winner is not judged.
Yesterday I only watched briefly, and the first week seemed unconvincing. Now I looked at the saves — Satyr did everything, imho, reasonably and correctly. I already criticized a bit yesterday, well, that's enough. A worthy victory, well done. :)
