Vova and I played a rest game. I had 113 in reserve, Vova had 111.

On the first week - at 111 - I spot a Hive 4 cells away from the Town, another 2 Hives are 1 day's travel away; 1 day's travel along the road there are 2 Dragon Utopia, took 1 external dwelling of Marks and Swords, spotted the Conclave, gold is a bit low. At 112 - I spot an inconvenient Hive at the bottom, and a Black Market. Loshek takes the Stronghold Village, another sees the Stronghold Village too, but a block of up to 50 Archers blocks Loshek's path there. 113 - the road to ГО 1 move from the Town hits a block of up to 50 Drok behind Hives and a Scroll; I thought about it for a bit, but decided not to fight them since I could ruin a good Generation if they were nearly 50 because of the Scroll. The threshold at 113 is passed, I'm playing... I take 5000 experience behind Dragonflies, a Village, Crypts; no more external dwellings (there were 2 for Monks, but I didn't bet on them). In general, didn't do anything particularly good. Angels are in the Fortress. There were no Medusa-dwellings or Naga-Banks (at least not easily accessible ones), only a Mini-Gnome dwelling.

On the second week - I take 3 Hives for 16 Vivs, then another 1 for 8 Vivs, a Double-Conclave; it's scary to enter the Dragon Utopia without Archangels, so I wait 1 move for cash. I hit a Dragon Utopia at 123 (Boots of Resistance), upgrade Swords, ignored the second Dragon Utopia since it wasn't on the way to ГО; in Pandora, for just 40+ Fanatics, you get 30 Monks for free. I hit the free ГО (40+ Royal Nagas). Still didn't get Slows in 3 Castles. I take a Fortress in Treasury at 124. Of the good stuff, I saw a Cloak +2 behind up to 100 Fanatics +3 to All near the Castle; a Dragon Utopia is sticking out behind the Rocks. At 125 Loshek spots a Dragon Utopia on the road and for up to 100 Wizards - a Helmet for All and Hives. Next move I take this loot, in the Triple-Dragon Utopia I get +2 to All, Titan's Armor and Air Key; was short 1 cell to return to the Fortress. At 126 I take +3 to All for 90+ Fanatics, Loshek takes a MiniHive, another scouts Kirry with a small Army; in Treasury at the Dungeon Castle, Terek has enough moves to attack. I attack, within a round under Haste I don't manage to kill her (Terek has Level 2 Tactics, Kirry has full) Kirry pays off. At 127 using Earth Sight I estimate that I won't have time to take Kirry's Town, mana is 10, so I run back to the Fortress to replenish mana.

On the third week - no money, I DD to a Dragon Utopia with 2 weeks of army (4 Archangels, 26 Vivs, 35 Monks, 17 Crosses, 40+ Marks, Gnolls and Dragonflies). It is guarded by up to 20 Archangels guarding the Earth Key and something else. There are nearly 20 of them; all Archangels, Monks and Vivs survive, in the Dragon Utopia they give +4 to All, I take +2 Speed and a Pandora for 6 Hydras for 90+ Gr. Units. Parameters are normal, have Expert Earth for the Earth Key, have Expert Air for the Air Key, Vova concedes victory.
Treasury was unusually poor in Dragon Utopias and small in size, and essentially everything was already eaten up.

Thanks Vova for the game!!!
