Yes, the game really turned out to be epic! :)
I got a lousy respawn with one swamp secondary, but the hero brought 6 orcs and there's their external dwelling + the golden bow shows up behind the Crusaders - a plan is brewing to build Cyclopes and at the start of the second week go to the opponent on the grass off-road already with the golden bow. I spend the first week just like that - securing resources, upgrading the secondary, Crag with Tactics, not much money though, sent a scout to the swamp, thought I'd collect some stuff, but there I only found a couple piles of gold and a chest... Anyway, the Cyclopes got built in the fort by the skin of my teeth :)
On the second week, the opponent shows Ciele with power 7 - the planned rush goes down the drain, I decide to go into the underground in the swamp and if possible beat some hives and build Utem (Wyverns) in the secondary with a subsequent upgrade. The bow, by the way, I never picked up for the rest of the game. Along the way, I beat a hive of 6, a Dwarf dwelling of 15, another scout of 15, and a Medusa dwelling of 8 (where I lost about 10 orcs). Bought a spell book, went into the underground, and there was nothing there! Ran around, ran around, only found 2 hives (4+6), 2 prisons, and a university, lost more army than I gained :D. The opponent already has 4 castles, the question of how to beat Ciele with power 10+ becomes more and more pressing.
At the start of the third week, there's nowhere else to go, I head to the grass, buying up everything I had. Got onto the road, but forgot to combine the Wyverns into one stack on my turn, plus it's a shame I never found Haste for expert Air Magic. Ciele, of course, shows up right on her turn - and starts pummeling me with a Stormacle (Strike) of nearly 500 :smile11:. I killed everything I could from the opponent and surrender with 5 Vivi (Villages) - a complete disaster. The opponent heads straight for my capital to finish me off. I buy back Crag in the swamp, upgrade 40 Lizardmen, buy 50 Gnolls, go to a corner hoping to find a passage to escape)) Behind the Pits (Pit Fiends) they give 30 Greater Basilisks from a Pandora's Box! Found a teleporter - salvation! I pop out into a subterranean treasure zone, start exploring - again nothing, i.e., completely empty, just a Hive of 6 behind the Cyclopes and an external dwelling of Red Dragons. :confused: I think, this is where the opponent with Ciele didn't make a mistake!
Nothing to be done, gotta keep running, and so for 2 weeks I'm fleeing, with Ciele one and a half turns behind me, getting stronger and stronger - breathing down my neck. :) I took all his castles, then he took them back. I go into the last treasure zone in the snow (regretted 10 times not taking Pathfinding when it was offered), in the first couple of days I found nothing except the Shield +5 and the Cloak of Abdication (Loins). I think it's the end. But then my second-to-last scout wandering the grass reveals a part of the snow on the map, and there are 2 Dragon Utopias! I immediately turn there. I stop at the first one - a Max one, damn! The army is 1 Archangel, 15 Wyverns, 60 Greater Lizardmen, 40 Gnolls, and 30 Monks from a Pandora's Box - scared to attack it, especially since I have no Mass Earth Magic. I thought it over and didn't attack. I go to the second one, and right next to it is a Griffin Conservatory. I beat the guard of 65 Efreeti - they killed almost all the Monks. I enter the Conservatory - a Max one, joy! I attack the Dragon Utopia, it didn't matter which one anymore. It turned out to be a Level-2 one, I came out of it with 2 Angels and 14 Wyverns, and it gave me Expert Air Magic and Expert Earth Magic!!! I almost fell out of my chair laughing - such a chance appeared! Well, then the opponent goes into that Max Dragon Utopia and casts Dimension Door. I, of course, cast Dimension Door on my last mana to the opponent's capital, but I didn't have enough tiles (short by 3 tiles) :(. Then Ciele dies, leaving me with 1 Archangel and 6 Wyverns, but with all the artifacts. I frantically look for a nearby Well - there's none! I charge towards my secondary town on my turn, oh god, a scout with growth (double Magma Elementals and 150 Pixies) reaches me - nowhere to surrender, GG.
Thanks for the interesting game! This is where Ciele showed herself in all her glory.

Пусть мой враг будет силен и страшен. Если я поборю его, то не буду чувствовать стыда.
