Came out a week earlier to the main treasure zone, which decided the outcome of the game. Thanks for the game!

Well, we started without rests and went for it.
Shakhti with 2 stacks and Lorelei with harpies in the tavern; well, I thought I'd see how things go... on the first day, dwarf boots and a minotaur external dwelling appeared, which was tempting + at first glance, a respawn rich in gold and chests.
As a result, on the 3rd day, the same as the dwarf dwelling 15 was taken, the minotaur external dwelling captured (though because of Mral, only 37 troglodytes remained out of 87). Shakhti level 7, exp tactics, attack and fire prod. I decide to keep playing.
By the end of the week, due to a series of mistakes, the ranks of troglodytes were reduced to 0. Another minotaur external dwelling was captured and a portal built in the Stronghold. But there wasn't enough money to buy everything. Result at the start of the 2nd week: 22 minotaurs, Shakhti level 9.

All through the 2nd week I fought computers; first a fast "necro" nearby, then "conflu" and "swamp". They turned out to be combat-ready! Boltchik even built up a castle with vivs and cows—I was in shock! After storming the castle, only 6 minotaurs remained of the entire army:mad:

Start of the 3rd week (Shakhti level 11 9-7-7-7). It turned out to be tough, as did the whole week; the result is minimal:smile39: . The spotted cons turned out to be 4 (checked with a scout, since Shakhti had no earth and there was absolutely no meat left, I couldn't risk being left without an army), but I still took the second one with a 3 gr stack... The way to one of the treasure zones turned out to be blocked by cyclops, and Shakhti didn't want to drive that far. The second treasure zone turned out to be my own + minotaur external dwelling and dragons. Among the artifacts, only chainmail +3 strength and a mace +4 attack were found.

On day 1 of the 4th week, immediately a con+4 with losses of ones and another at the other end of the map+2. But the treasure zone turned out to be empty((( nothing is visible except external dwellings...
It seems there are 9 angels, 44 minotaurs, and 9 manticores, but I don't dare hit ГО... I can deal with a horde of 50-99 elementals, but a horde of efreet sultans is not pleasing at all... (For Oppa, the ГО turned out to be non-upgrade manticores and cyclops, and by parameters, it seems Ivor's own treasure zones were sweeter; if I meet him with a broken army, then GG immediately). Shakhti, damn it, still won't give earth :smile19: ... and got stuck in place... while those beauties will reach me from the first move...
I was crushed in the next respawn into conflu; I'm building a magic school and buying land, but the treasure zone turned out to be swamp—oh how it dragged on, the treasure zone turned out to be swamp—oh how it dragged on((( well at least vivs appeared and a couple of chests—a Miracle!!! level 5 magic and 15k exp. And a shield +3+3.
Shakhti finally got earth exp... and at the start of 212 I go to the treasure zone (I even jump over, as I still didn't want to meet the sultans), reached Dragon Utopia 1 via a long road, and on the next move I already see Ivor; I turn around and run away just to buy up the army to FB... my parameters are of course lower... but being caught while accelerating killed me completely....:smile05: :smile05: .(Ivor turned out to be log exp, gloves and boots + DD)

Anyway, that's how it went:smile06:

Thanks for the game:)
