#159
Auto-translated
TERM (red, swamp, Tazar, Tazar/Kyrre) def PReDS (blue, swamp, Bron, Bron), TE-light, 8mm6a, 212

Took one restart and went for it. Kyrre arrived, there's money, so we play. Built on first week 1-6 in castle, no external dwellings. But found a mini-conservatory and 3 hives, although one was completely off to the side, never took it for the rest of the game.
Kyrre foolishly picked mysticism in a hut (a TE habit of getting skills for gold and being able to decline). So for the rest of the game I never figured out who my main hero was, Kyrre or Tazar.
On 122 took the mini-conservatory, then on the same turn 2 hives for 8+12 wivs. In the second one, the lizards got shredded.
On 123 another conservatory, again single.
On 124 broke into one of the central zones, added 6 more wivs.
On 125 chased away Tyras with a weak hero, who snatched another conservatory from under my nose, while I added another angel.
Too far to go for contact, decide to check the other direction to either reach a castle (potentially for archangels) or the swamp (double build). The opponents are scouting around a village.
On 126 I'm in the orange swamp. On 131 I capture a neighboring town - dungeon. Opponents reveal a dragon utopia in the center. I plan to take it.
132 - first mini-dragon utopia (helm +4/+4). Opponents reveal another one. I do a delivery and take the second one on 134 - titan's cuirass, black orb. Opponents reveal yet another dragon utopia in this zone. But my army is a bit depleted, decide to hang around here, plus I have a Town Portal scroll, leveling up the 4th level in the dungeon. On 137 in a nearby treasure zone I clear 2 unicorn external dwellings + portal + take 3 hives. Tazar is preparing to take the dragon utopia on 141.
On 141 I upgrade behemoths and monarchs, but Kyrre ran out of mana, wasted extra on ice elementals, and forgot to portal to the dungeon for a doubling. As a result, Tazar gets defeated and goes in a different direction, while the dragon utopia is about to be hit by a 1st-level pegasus specialist.
142 - dragon utopia for the book of fire and earth. Bought boots from the artifact merchant. Opponents saw a hive and 2 conservatories, I take the hive - +8 wivs.
Then I move Kyrre there too, preparing to take the conservatories with him, while Tazar rushes with all the might further into the treasure zone. On 144 he takes a dragon utopia with the blue cap and +5 to all. Then Kyrre takes 2 conservatories - 3+3 angels. Visits the library and on 211, having gathered all the growth, sends Tazar presumably toward the blue castle, to make archangels or to go for a fast finish. I get a powerful hit-run from archangels, flies take losses. Tazar jumps back, Kyrre jumps for another set of flies and jumping to the castle attacks with 120 greater liches, 60 greater monarchs, 32 greater behemoths, 6 angels and 6+5+5 greater flies, has Prayer, +2 speed, Implosion with a booster just bought from the merchant, black orb. Power stats are comparable, my spell power is higher, mana is more. Bron has 9 archangels and the 2nd castle growth without horses. The battle was not fought. GG

Thanks for the game!
