Used both restarts, opponent had 1 left. From the start, 1 road from 10-19 was blocked by bone dragons guarding a prison, the second road was inconvenient, going around the castle. Revealed several hives, but the guards were monks, griffins, archmagi. Overall, a high tempo is not expected.
First week ran around the respawn, cleared what I could, scouted. Found an external dwelling of phoenixes guarded by 50-99 monks in front of the Griffin Conservatory, left it for later. The Griffin Conservatory itself guarded by 20-49 red dragons. Cleared a shield +6 and an external dwelling of psychos, found 2 Griffin Conservatories.
On day 117 with 2 phoenixes started hitting hives. Got quite lucky with them, not a single minimal roll. On day 122 Alkin replenishes mana in the main, have 5 angels and 44 wyverns.
Day 123 - busted a triple Dragon Utopia, lost 1 wyvern, got a blue cap, necklace of grace, sword +6 and a crown +4+4. Sat again to replenish mana. Freed Astral from prison, level 20.
Day 124 - buffed Alkin before the Griffin Conservatory, ran with Astral to the 2nd Dragon Utopia.
Day 125 - max Dragon Utopia with Astral, 2 angels were eaten, gave almost the same stuff, another necklace, book of air, boots +15% resistance and armor 4-4. Then took 2 external dwellings of phoenixes, killed the Griffin Conservatory with the loss of 1 bird and sat in the central tower. There I poked the tavern, ran to scout, spotted a Dragon Utopia along the way, took 2 external dwellings of wyverns in the sands.
Day 126 - took a mini Dragon Utopia in the center (boots of levitation) and a max hive. On the return turn, blue flags appear, cutting off 1 of my heroes.
Day 127 - scout with vision, see that the central swamp is still gray, kill all of the opponent's heroes and take the town with Alkin. Tazar is nearby, standing on a hive. Scryed him, he has a red orb. Played with a chess clock, so there was time to think and properly prepare for the battle. Defeated Astral in the swamp, captured a gladius along the road, a prison with Andra level 10, used her to take a pandora's box for 20k experience, gloves, and a hive +8. Then returned the army to Alkin, attack:
Alkin: expert arm and offense (and archery, but there was no one to shoot), 25-21, 6 firebirds, 3 angels, 1+1+1+1+63 wyverns;
Tazar: expert arm and tactics, no offense apparently, 10-21, 10 angels, 1+1+1+12 monarchs, 32 regular wyverns, 4 hydras, +3 morale, +1 luck.
Despite a small misplay in round 1 and the opponent's luck with stats on the 10 angels and Tazar's lack of offense decided the match, the opponent bought his retreat with 3 angels and 1 hydra, I had 1 phoenix, 2 angels, and around 30 wyverns left. Then cut off another blue hero and the opponent decided not to drag it out. Thanks for the game!
