Terrible start with 3 heroes, but the 4th necro in the tavern. By 115 I gathered 50k bones, but Ami conceded at the dwarven treasury on 20. Didn't take auto.
Thanks for the games.
Indeed, thanks for the game and for your time. Overestimated Krek's strength, although it was a pretty nice start :)

They cleared all the chests, and off we went...
Week 1
No elves from the start, of the external dwellings I sparked one Pegasi, next to it stood several pleasant crypts, in fact there were quite a lot of them strewn about, and what's even more interesting, more than half were max or near-max, so there was plenty of money... I spread out with 7 heroes, along the way there are 2 Dragon Utopias - but the guard of one very annoyingly blocked the road, had to lose a lot of movement going around. Grabbed a telescope, another Pegasi dwelling, one secondary cut off by Death Knights, the 8th hero was Luna, who never came in handy - 80% of guards were shooters, no Griffin Conservatory, only 1 Ultimate Artifact. On 114, I took an unblocked secondary, with bought-up Roc Beaks I took the minimal Ultimate Artifact, sparked a Dragon and Roc Beak dwelling behind acceptable guards. By 117, I took all external dwellings, Dragons in the main, Kyr beat a Pandora's Box for 5k experience, but the development isn't going well - after the defense, we were given Water Magic.
Week 2
The army leaves much to be desired, capturing dwellings for fodder cost me 2 Roc Beaks to the green :smile16: , shortly after that I carelessly placed Wiverns in the Cyclops pen and the counterattack of the Dragons blew them away, as I already said no more Beehives, no Griffin Conservatory... where to get meat is unclear, I'm clearing the back alleys of the respawn - I capture Bracers of Protection, another Pandora's Box for 10k, finally useful things come... Tactics, Offense, Earth Magic. On 124 I panic, nothing left to clear, I decide to go into the Dragon Utopia, I exchange resources to zero at the external market - I get Gold Dragons, buy meat, having 5 Gold, 6 Roc Beaks, 35+ Pegasi, 20 Dwarves and as many Centaurs I stick my nose into the Dragon Utopia ... and there are 3-4 :smile33:, I come out with 5 Gold and 16 Pegasi, well at least they gave good stuff - Sword +5, Wings... nothing to do, absolutely no point in going to the center, I start collecting all the crumbs with cockroaches, and myself went towards the unexplored respawn, there turned out to be another Ultimate Artifact!!! for 8 Wiverns... what a setup, another Roc Beak dwelling and 2 more Dragon Utopias! Nobody has Air Magic, so I couldn't even see where the opponent was - I was only cheered by his low stats, hoping he was in just as bad shape. On 127, I stood at the edge of a Dragon Utopia, so that with the growth on the Wings I could run through both and sit in the castle.
Week 3
With growth to 9 Gold Dragons, the remaining Dragon Utopias fall in no time with minimal losses from devouring. They gave very sweet loot... +6 All Stats, armor +4a +4d, KV, +50% Earth Magic (there was a scroll of Implosion, but the Mage Guild at the first possible meeting was only 4th level). On 132, I burst into the treasure zone from a running start, right at the exit I grab a prison, get Alkin 20, immediately an Ultimate Artifact opens with a Necklace +3 All Stats, I transfer the army and artifacts, eat up all that good stuff, though the Ultimate Artifact turned out to be minimal and then across the mountain I see the opponent on a charge of Angels... Kyr had 300mp left and Dimension Door, a miscalculation in an extra turn on the road, and I fall 1 step short of the opponent (it's worth reminding that I had Bracers of Protection and Orb of Inhibition), I skip my turn - I wait, despite the advantage in stats, the army size leaves much to be desired, but no attack followed, the opponent disappeared. No way to see where he was again, all the heroes I got were without Air Magic, or even without spell books at all. I return to the road and go eat everything I see, got a couple more heroes, killed an opponent's secondary, saw one cleaned Dragon Utopia and 1 untouched one on Stronghold's land, but didn't dare jump to it because I wasn't 100% sure it was the opponent's land with a broken GO, and as I said, I had no scouting. On 134, an attack comes from Amiloo with grown stats and the entire army, which, by the way, didn't greatly outnumber mine in quantity, and my stats were still higher + advantage in speed, Gold Dragons with Pegasi on Cape of Velocity +2 speed flew across the entire map, allowing me to hit through waiting, which decided the outcome of the battle. Thanks for the game
That was a fat, faaaat layout :):) I played very absentmindedly, gave away the Bear to a single Griffin Conservatory, lost about 15 Ducks in the Cyclops pen, but despite all that somehow managed to develop, full control, Boots-Gauntlets in the center, home castle, a stack of Bears, Well. Overall could have played, but something stung me in the rear, decided to risk it "what if there's no Red Sphere")))) I had a normal magic advantage, but there was a Red Sphere, and a 2x difference in battle stats decided it. Thanks for the game ;)
