My opponent chose his restarts, I still had 111 left, but the spawn was good. I immediately scouted a club +5, a Griffin Conservatory at a respawn, and a passage to my native secondary town behind diamond golems. I didn’t reach it on day 1, attacked on day 2, thinking it would be a joke if I lost, but I got lucky, the terrain saved me.
I wasn’t flush with cash, despite fast roads I was running around like a fool, at the end of the week I went with Tyraxor to farm the swamp respawn, tempted by 3 crypts and a gnoll hovel. On second thought, I didn’t put up Mithril, made 1-5 in the Castle and 1-5 in the Citadel + an external dwelling of ogres.
On week 2, I discovered a Griffin Conservatory at the swamp respawn, bought everything with a full resource exchange at 3 marketplaces, Conservatory level 3-4. I didn’t spare a scout, it was tier 3! Decided to break it, though it was a tight fit army-wise. 60 wolves, 12 birds, 9 ogres, and low-tier units. And the griffins, as usual, started getting moral, in general I barely made it out.
At the respawns, I noticed a whole 3 Dragon Utopias! I recall Tyraxor home, buy a spell book, took 2 naga banks and a Pandora’s Box for 10k experience (anything but experience). At home, I put up Mithril.
131-133 I run around with chains for a very long time, play terribly stupidly. I lost about 3 days total.
134 - I break a tier 3 Dragon Utopia on my main, losing 1-3 from the Castles. I get a hat and the КВ + a red orb, no knowledge, so I’m happier about the money. I run to the second Dragon Utopia.
137 - another tier 3! This time it went easier, gave me a chalice, a +12 shield, and a book of fire, I build up my secondary town.
141-143 - I trudge through the swamp to another Dragon Utopia, minimal level, it gave a +5 sword
144-147 - I farm the grassy treasure zone with a scouted Dragon Utopia. In the end, another tier 3, I got the КЗ, plate armor, and red boots. I grab a +2 cloak and jump home, not forgetting to upgrade wyverns along the way.
211 - plague, but that doesn’t bother me anymore. I had an advantage in stats, magic, and army size. I went to take the opponent’s castles, eventually caught up with him in the swamp at 215, and had oil for the speed boost.

Thanks for the game and good luck in the tournament!
