Thanks for the interesting game!

That happened.
No starting scout, but I see banker, 4 Dwarf Cottages, 4 Medusa Stores, 1 Griffin Conservatory and 2 Beehives, naturally I decide to play. I see a native Dragon Utopia.
1,2,3,5,6 in the castle.
The distances are long, so I only took secondary heroes on day 2.
Next to Stronghold there was a second Dragon Utopia.
On 137 Pavel appears, broke the chain, but did not prevent me from taking the native max Dragon Utopia (Helm +6 to all, Sword 12 to Attack, Cuirasses 12 to Defense), but he took the native castle with growth. I smash into Tazar at the Stronghold, buy all the gold and flee from Pavel for 9k. I build Bears in the castle.
I take a Beehive. I get 5 Silver Pegasi, 15 Grand Elves, 15 Thunderbirds and assorted small units.
On 142 I level Alamar, pass Resurrection to Tazar, take a mini Dragon Utopia (Shield +4 to all) and go into the treasure zone, there are 2 Pandora's Boxes, an Institute, and a scroll with Implosion, I urgently need 2 castles with built Mage Guilds. I build a Mage Guild in Stronghold and on 214 reclaim my native castle. A couple of days later I have Implosion for 2400 damage and Lightning Bolt for 750, 180 mana, I decide to go for Pavel.
217 Pavel attacks me, my stats are much higher, but I have much less army, we fight and fight, I have 6 Silver Pegasi left, I think of buying myself off (I have 18k+ gold left) and then Pavel's Unicorns got lucky, for 2 turns in a row they blind my Bears, then various magic from Pavel's side on his own army and the battle ends.
Thanks for the interesting game!
See you on the battlefield!
