13.10.11 Redwhait HP(red, ramp, Kyrre, Luna) def PReDS(blue, Castle, Vala, Grindan) mini-nosta 141

Computers: Dungeon, Barbarian, Swamp - Necro, Inferno, Conflux.
We started without any rests at all. I had an external market right away, Luna with decent gold. Opponent on 112 reveals Grindan, thinking I will take the res, but I already killed the Swamp and in response on 113 I reveal Luna. I decide to play since I had a ton of gold; I thought about placing Bears and Hydras on the first! But it turned out to be even better there than where I was, so also no rest. On 114 I reveal the view on the Barbarian respawn, and I see the enemy's niku of horses :( but on the Archer respawn I find Mana Doubling, lots of gold, Griffin Conservatory. I knock out the computer, he built Ogre Magi, damn it, and the Bears won't fit in the Castle anymore, same for Hydras :( even both in the Fort; lack of wood, terrible...
I decide to build Hydras, and the treasure zone is already revealed, +10 all!! obtainable on the second. On 117 I eventually also take the Conservatory with mini-Luna, who is already tearing through everything. I double Mana and plan to hit the Pegasi up to 49 for the Pandora's Box. I built Hydras in the Fort and Unicorns in the Citadel.
On 121 I take out the Pegasi with 1 Angel, no problem, and the box gives 10k exp.
On 123 at the end of the turn I already take the Grail with 3 Angels, a couple of Hydras, and some more power from the Swamp, and I set up a chain to the Shield, and I split Luna to the capital. The Shield is taken only on 125, and on 126 I take the Dungeon Castle with Luna, double Mana there to 500+. On 127 I enter the snowy treasure zone again and another lucky drop at the start: Wings for the horde of crap!! Luna takes it with no problem. Next I look at the treasure zone, there's a Dragon Fly Hive and a Dragon Utopia, but I have no one to take them with, and it's far. I split my army into the first treasure zone, sending troops hard via chain and Wings there. Looting, I take out 50+ Diamond Golems for exp and gr. ducks for 10k gold. On 132, with this money I buy Wasps and a bit more power, and take the Dragon Utopia with mini (armor +4 attack/defense) :( . Next, army back via chain to the other treasure zone; there the Dragon Fly Hive is taken, and Luna split home to get back faster to the Dragon Utopia. But the guards are Titans for the box. On 133 I take out the Titans and get Level 5 Magic. In the Utopia, max is stats and a Red Orb. Next I hit GO of Angels and Wyverns. On 134 I see Grindan in the Castle with an army. By army stats I am stronger and can probably reach him. I split home, buy troops, cast Dimension Door, but I'm short a couple hundred moves :(
In the end this gives PReDS an extra day to bring in more troops. I already started doubting whether I should attack or not at all: 3 Angels, 3 Hydras, 19 ducks, several Unicorns, Grands, gr. Pegasi, gr. Serpents.
In the end I attacked. Stronger by stats, but weaker power: there are 40 ducks, 5 Fire Birds, 14 horses or something else, but I have a harsh impla: mana Luna (370) - Grindan (400). I set up on tactics but placed a couple of stacks of Unicorns in front as a fire brigade—not for nothing, seeing the birds there...
And so it happened: first turn, Armageddon that was supposed to wipe out absolutely all my power and that would have been GG, but I saved a couple of outs on resist from the Unicorns!!! and it landed exactly on the Wyverns.
Result after Armageddon: his side: 5 birds, 20 ducks, a couple gr. horses; my side: 19 ducks. I have no Anti-Magic, so the question arises: what to do? Impla and buying back is nonsense, though maybe it was worth it. But I summon a hundred Fire Elementals. In response, next round: Anti-Magic on his birds, and I impla on my ducks. Then he summons Fire Elementals, and I take a risk and teleport my Fire Elementals behind the wall to take out all his birds, then the horses, and next turn I could have killed Grindan completely, but 1 bird remained. Next turn, he summons Fire Elementals again, and I finish off his birds and horses, and buy back my ducks, thus leaving the opponent with Elementals. But here my knowledge of game mechanics failed me: in such cases the opponent's hero goes to the tavern, not dying completely :( so we continue playing. I buy back in the treasure zone, take the Dragon Fly Hive, a box for exp. On 137 with 23 ducks and Gargoyles I take a tier-3 Dragon Utopia, with a Book of Fire and junk, sacrificing the Gargoyles. Then I fly over the mountain, bring wood and Centaurs from the main castle, and take the revealed Dragon Utopia in the General treasure zone—it was max, I had to give up another 5 ducks, and there's another Book of Fire, Dragon Armor, and a Level 5 Hat.
On 141 I give everything to Level 5 Labette via chain; she takes the tier-3 Conservatory, and then I return everything to the castle, where Luna is bought back and mana becomes indecently high, a whopping 1k+. In the opponent's castle, there are Psi elementals, regular Faeries, and gr. Fire Elementals revealed. I can attack, but only with Angels and ducks, plus the Centaurs from the hero. Near the mountain, a noob has been sitting for a long time who reaches the castle. I give away all artifacts and put on the Orb because mana is low, and who knows what's in there.
It turned out to be Grindan, but my combat stats are higher and my army is stronger; magic doesn't matter.
Thanks for the game.
