The game turned out to be long, so it's easier to break it down by weeks.
At first, the starting positions were terribly unlucky, I had to take three restarts immediately. Then my opponent took one restart and we finally started playing.
Week 1. I take an external dwelling of wolves, an external dwelling of goblins. I check the Griffin Conservatory: 3 or 4. I clear my native secondary mine. I build bird dwellings in both, and a Citadel in the main. I decided not to make bears, as there wouldn't be enough money left for buying.
Week 2. I upgraded everything. With an army of 13 birds, 60 wolves, 110 goblins, I take a Pandora's Box of 5k gold.
I see a Dragon Utopia, I see a Naga Bank, I enter the Naga Bank, and there's a max stack with upgraded stacks. Oh well, I lost 2 birds, 12 wolves, and all the goblins. With the money received, I build bears in the castle, and a Citadel in the secondary. Crag already has Expert Offense, Earth, and Logistics.
Week 3. I build guilds, Fafnir learns Slow and passes it to Crag. Crag with Slow first takes the single Griffin Conservatory, then the triple. Then I split Crag's army and take the triple Griffin Conservatory.
Total by week 3 I have: 7 Angels, 23 birds, 60 wolves, 100 goblins. I build a Castle in the secondary.
Week 4. I take a Pandora's Box of 10k experience, go into the Dragon Utopia. I lose all goblins, almost all wolves, the Utopia gives me the Book of Earth and Wings. With the money received, I upgrade bears and build bears in the secondary. I go into the second Dragon Utopia. I lose all goblins and almost all wolves again. It gives me the Sphere of Inhibition.
Total: from two Utopias, not a single stat artifact... Crag has 12 10, Kyrre has about 14 16.
Week 5. Having 7 Angels, 47 birds, 10 super bears, and cannon fodder, I break the GO (80 Efreets) and go for the enemy. I capture his castle and see Kyrre. With Expert Logistics and Wings, it wasn't hard to catch him; I attack.
The opponent has 70 Elves, 39 Wyverns, 50 Dendroids (produced from three external dwellings), 12 Unicorns, 6 Angels, and a few Dragon Flies. It wasn't for nothing that I put on the Sphere of Inhibition (Crag had only 20 mana), the opponent wanted to cast Anti-Magic on the Dendroids and throw Armageddon. Kyrre flees with the Elves and Dendroids (slightly battered), leaving me 7 bears.
I quickly run to my castle, as Kyrre has already bought back and taken a bit of growth. On day 7, Kyrre approaches my castle, where Crag sits with 100 mana (visited a Mana Watering Hole), 7 bears, cannon fodder, and without the Sphere. The opponent thinks for a long time, then finally attacks. On the first turn, he casts Anti-Magic on the Dendroids, for which he gets an Implosion on the Elves; the Elves are gone. Then a long battle ensues; I gradually whittle down all his troops with towers. The opponent flees again with the Dendroids.
Week 6. I take the growth. I have 11 bears, 12 birds, and cannon fodder. I run to the enemy castle and attack. We both have 100 mana. Another long battle takes place, at the end of which we both run out of mana. I have 6 bears under Slow against two summoned stacks of Water Elementals of 32 each. The opponent breaks the catapult, but the Water Elementals can't escape from the bears.
It turned out to be a very long, but very interesting game (at least for me). Three major battles in one game is a rare event :) I'm glad I managed to beat such a strong opponent as Dimast :)
Thanks for the game!
