Right away, two resource collectors. Initially, I was planning to develop Caitlin with a focus on building a Grand Monastery, but then she started performing poorly on the secondary front, and Clavius turned out to be closer to the main action, so I decided to make him the leader. My opponent has both Moner and Crag, which is unpleasant. I'm trying to secure as many resources and gold as possible, but I'm about two days behind on the secondary fronts. I have three Nagabanks, and I'm placing great hopes on them, investing giants in the Citadel, but none of them have captured anything. I thought that if my opponent built a Barbarian village, I would be in trouble, but it turned out I was wrong. The game was decided by an attempt to scout where the home teleport, located in the Chigyri, would lead. It turned out to be on the red player's territory. I check, see a Throng, and I don't know what to do. My opponent probably sees it, and I don't want to leave it. I leave Rosie with an army on it and nervously wait for an attack. It didn't happen. He hesitated, and I tried to buy some time, hoping he would think, "I'll take it and then move along Clavius to his level 2 home resource building." The troops move again to the other flank, towards my opponent's coveted level 2 resource building, which has already been scouted. Clavius moves along the road to his own level 2 resource building and, after capturing it, is destroyed. By the end of the week, he had consumed a couple of villages and gained a decent amount of experience, and I built another level 2 resource building. But Ivan seemed to lose interest, and on day 131, Moner attacks my leader, but doesn't reach the village. I finish off the box, gaining 30k experience, which is very useful. Earth and air magic have been well-developed. I build a level 2 Grand Monastery - there's a slowdown spell, I transport the army with a detour and a trade. Mass Haste immediately decides the battle.
Thank you for the game.
