Javdet (Blue, Rampart, Mephala, Tiaz) def GoD (Red, Rampart, Mephala, Brokh) h3dm1 127 1-0

We played with new hives. As usual, I messed up the beginning; due to a blunder on a flat area, I had to dismiss the hero scouting, so that Tiaz and Mephala could learn scouting from the witch. Then I conserved in battles; miscalculating with a ballista cost me a dozen units. However, there was some positivity – the mage with learning quickly maxed out his spell. By the middle of the week, when there were almost no units left, I started to play more effectively. In the camp, I buy a bird; the rogues report that the enemy doesn't have a bird. Then they report it to me, and Zheka spends a day catching this very bird)). This can only bring joy – the color advantage has been regained.
In the village, they immediately give a slow spell; Tiaz has just the right territory for this. On day 117, we take a consul mini and the chain reaches the lumber mill. At this time, Zhenya went into vampires in the castle, which severely impacted his economy.

I run through 2 consuls, both of which are also minimal. The tavern shows Brokh as much better than the one I have. Since our Tiaz is even behind with learning, the conclusion is sad – Brokh has been in the treasure for a long time, and we wasted time on not-so-great consuls.
Somewhere on day 123, I went to the treasure, as it turned out, to the same one where Brokh was. I cleared a couple of hives and, having obtained the desired town portal to the Grand Mausoleum, I was ready to raid the utopia. At this time, the weak units near the house very successfully captured a maxed-out fire giant and a maxed-out medusa, 12500 for no reason... I must say that after building the town portal, I realized late what I had done – the city was within walking distance of the enemy's treasure, and therefore I had to quickly buy a hero, learn the town portal, and send him to the group of weak units so that he could share knowledge in the future.

The utopia was more than pleasing – a blue cap under 2 damage dealers, and the tavern doesn't say anything about the red player having visited it. I go for a risky move, to steal the enemy's utopia, but Zhenya runs into my city. Since Brokh didn't use the town portal and remained in the city, we attack. The advantage in angels decided the outcome, although the elves with archery put up a bit of a fight.

Thanks for the game
