They picked all resets and off we go. Ivor with 5 Elves, 2 native ones in the tavern, albeit without the pointy-ears, but a whole gang of Centaurs, fast roads. I quickly find a secondary on the grass and a subway to the Harpies, also discovered a Griffin Conservatory and 2 Dragon Fly Hives, no grails visible, but the income is alright.
In week 1 I took 2 secondary heroes — the info hero from the basement and the native one, from whom I found another Griffin Conservatory. There is also a road into the snow, ГО through wasteland. Blue has Necropolis revealed, I hatch a plan for a fast encounter. At home, 1-5 in the citadel, in the tavern 1-3 in the citadel, the info hero has a +2 speed Eye for 50-99 gold.
In week 2, by day 121-122 I use scout heroes to take 2 Griffin Conservatories (1+2) and 2 Dragon Fly Hives (6+8) and transfer everything to Ivor, who, after the stables, stands by the guard in the snow.
We break the guard consisting of fire elementals, the scout hero reveals the fow and Ivor marches to visit Blue, but falls 400 MP short of reaching their capital. Ivor: 8 9 3 4 (35 Grands, 5 Horses, 3 Archangels, 14 Ducks, and others). Blue abandons their capital and retreats to the mud to a secondary Necropolis hero; my scout hero takes the tavern and places fow, which reveals part of the western treasure zone. I follow Blue into the necro-land, and they flee from there too into the treasure zone in search of fortune. I seize Blue's last town and give them 7 days to think it over.
Meanwhile, Clavius clears the treasure zone, which we partially observe from the tavern's fow; we take a Dragon Fly Hive for 6 on the mud, build a Castle in the necro zone for possible defense, and set up chains for mobile movement to any town and troop reinforcement. By the end of the seventh day, Blue attempted a cunning maneuver — they went not toward the necro town, but through another exit from the treasure zone toward the tavern via two scout heroes from prison. It was a bit unexpected, but Ivor naturally made it there in time, only I couldn't build a Castle there, just a Citadel.
But as it turned out, even the Citadel wasn't needed. Blue couldn't make it past quickly and spent their final 7th day, stopping literally 3 steps short of the tavern.
1-0
Thanks for the game!
