TERM (blue, random (Castle), random, Kalh) def artbocha (red, Necropolis, random, Galtran/Clavius) 147, 8mm6a

The opponent took advantage of the bonus to choose a faction and picked Necro. Considering he had to start with a random hero, I gave away the color for free. The opponent used all restarts and off we went; on the map, there are 3 Castles besides mine + green is also Castle (they joined in). On the first one, I lost many archers, but on either day 117 or day 121, I managed to reach the green Castle. On the Griffin Conservatory respawn, I got levels 3-4 and a Cape of Speed, preparing to take them. On day 123, I take the Cape, on day 124 the Griffin Conservatory, and I flee toward the center, even though the path is not short. Along the way, I grab 2 villages, another level-2 Griffin Conservatory, and after building a tavern, I see my army power is lower, with 5 Angels, 30 Royal Griffins, 5 Cavaliers, and some other troops. That puzzled me, meaning the opponent isn't so simple, even if a newcomer. On the third week, I finally found a Dragon Utopia, took it (minimum loot — Tome of Air), and on day 141, using the tome and reinforcements, I crushed another 2 Castles. That made it 4 total. At one of them, I took a level-3 Dragon Utopia (5th Helm, Gladius, Blackshard). I gathered all my forces and jumped to the opponent. Upon arriving, I reached Galtran with half his army and no artifacts. News of surrender came.

Thanks for the game!
