A crucial game. The score is 1-1, the opponent's team is undefeated, we have one loss to Homo.
I buy Brogh for 3k and sell the color for 800, and in the end I didn't regret it. Literally from the second generation things started working - everything went just perfectly, by 113 I already have 8 heroes, external dwellings of basilisks and gnolls, a Hive for a horde of gold flies, more than decent gold. I scout the passage to the center - a lot of eyes, and toward the computer, which turned out to be Tower and is very far to reach. I turn the horse around, and after leveling up to 7th level I stand near the eyes on 117, with hydras at home in the castle.
121 on the other side of the teleport there's a horde of black cows from a Pandora's box, the army isn't fully bought - I decide to go back home for a Dragon Fly Hive, stopping by to break through a university for nagas - simultaneously a block presumably toward the opponent. The Dragon Fly Hive turned out to be mini and the only one on the second, and indeed the only one found and taken by Brogh. After feasting on 4 Medusa Stores with scouts at my own home, I return to the center on 124, hit the cows - they yield 20 basic vampires, the same turn I run to a necro village and sit down to replenish mana. Slightly above there are 2 Pandora's boxes and a Dragon Utopia - nothing to take yet. Meanwhile, the scouts have revealed a Griffin Conservatory at the other end of the spawn, I take the Pandora's boxes (15k gold and 70 zombies), break them, and run to the Griffin Conservatory, only reaching it on 127 - tier 3. I dive further looking for a village - another Griffin Conservatory, a single one, and a box of 35 fire elementals behind a horde of sharpshooters. These fire elementals turned out to be the key squad later :).
Interestingly, I wasn't wrong about the directions and the opponent appeared exactly from the unbroken passage behind the nagas, the place I feared most to see him. It's 132, I get the turn - Gundula with all her might (a dangerous 100+ wolves, 5-9 minotaurs) doesn't reach my scout hero by a few tiles. Great, the army rides from the far flank to the revealed Dragon Utopia, I take it and sit in the necro village to replenish mana, stats 13-27-10-10. Gundula is still raw 3-3-4-4, takes the army home, convinced that wandering around these parts is dangerous.
On my side, 3 more Dragon Utopias are revealed, but two of them are in the far corners of my spawn and the snow one, the third is across a chasm. There's no control, so I put them off for later and continue running along the only remaining path in search of control. Oh, I forgot, on 131 by some miracle I run off-road into my computer's empty Capitol - what a surprise! And I build vampires on 127 in the necro village.
In short, I split the army - Kalt with Learning (which, I recall, can be refused) gets 4 angels and 40 remaining zombies for clearing and continues cleaning the areas around the necro village, Christian with 28 gr vampires runs to kill the orange Rampart, and Dad at the fork heads the other way toward the turquoise Tower.
137 after continuous straight-line running, I finally reveal a Dragon Utopia with Dad, but again behind a mountain, have to go around. I build giants in both Towers. Christian falls with the vampires in an unequal magic battle against Rampart warriors, and Kalt is already on 7 angels with 8 Wyverns.
On the fourth, I continue running toward this coveted Dragon Utopia behind the mountain and finally reach it on 143, meanwhile scouts ventilate the passage from which the reds appeared, Kalt is already on 20 ducks with 7 angels ready to take the Dragon Utopia, Bronch doesn't get control but sees 2 more Dragon Utopias nearby! Well, fat is fat. But the main events unfolded near the reds' village. Assessing the opponent's garrison there, I bring up the fire elementals and park my scout hero a few tiles from the village. The opponent apparently didn't calculate the possibilities quite successfully or promptly, and after several attacks by my scout hero, including Dad with a familiar, a surrender followed.
I guess the heat that day was on my side :).

In the end, victory in the match and the 8th point for the team's piggy bank!

Thanks for the game!
