We each took one rest 111. After that, the generation was better.
111 I free Korbac from prison, level 5 with Expert Defense and Pathfinding + basic Attack. Scout hero reveals an external dwelling of Pikemen. Remembering the possibility of another rest, I think about casting View Earth and deciding then.
112 View Earth reveals two more external dwellings of Pikemen, a secondary Conflux, and two days from the castle a treasure zone with an external dwelling of Angels, a Dragon Utopia, and a Griffin Conservatory next to the Dragon Utopia. I decide without a doubt to play. My opponent also doesn't take a rest, so we play.
113 Crypt (minor). Korbac gets Wisdom.
114 I break through to the secondary Conflux. The main hero gets Earth:smile20:
115 I take the secondary town.
116-117 Clearing gold and resources. In the capital, dwellings 1, 2, 4, and 6 in the castle.
121-123 I return to the capital and buy Cavalry, which I upgrade at the Stables.
125 Secondary Conflux.
The second Angels never came due to a shortage of 5000 gold.
It starts to worry me that the revealed Shakti in the tavern is twice as strong in stats:smile07:
Week 3 and nothing to remember: shameful stagnation in place, taking the external dwelling of Angels (with 45 Archangels using pit fiends), and finally building them in the castle.
Shakti’s stats are already terrifyingly higher. I sense that in the fourth week my death will come.
141 Selling everything and buying 4 Angels + 1 already from the external dwelling. I set my sights on the Dragon Utopia, hoping at least to die with dignity.
142 I fight 38 Unicorns + 12 upgraded. Difficult without oil, but about 120 Pikemen come to the rescue.
Immediately I take the Griffin Conservatory +3:smile26: and then the Dragon Utopia.
I emerge with КЗ, some money, and hope that my opponent doesn't have Dispel Magic.
I set my sights on the Pandora's Box behind the crowd of Unicorns.
But then Shakti breaks through ГО and is a couple of steps short of reaching the capital.
143 Town Portal to the capital, upgrade Pikemen (about 200), buy the entire army. I have enough mana for one oil spell:eek: The opponent was afraid to attack me in the castle and retreated behind the Griffin Conservatory +1.
144 With 90 mana, I decided to attack Shakti. Who has 14-18-4-12, 5 Angels, 2 Dragons, 8 Cats, 43 Greater Basilisks, 23 Medusas, 27 Harpies. Korbac has 6-12-8-9, 9 Angels, 5 Cavalry, 15 Monks, 50 Archers, 183 upgraded Pikemen, and a few Griffins and Swordsmen.
In the end, Explosion on the Angels for 900 damage, I kill the Dragons with Angels. Second round, Explosion on the Basilisks, and the opponent surrenders. I thought he would concede, but no. I quickly run to my opponent's capital.
145 I didn't quite reach it, but I blocked the entrance/exit of the castle.
146 I finish off Shakti in the castle. He concedes.:smile15:

Thanks for the game.

Sorry. I couldn't write earlier — I had power issues.
A bitter loss. Shakti was a powerhouse. There was an army. There were plenty of alternatives.
