Respawn is small and entirely blocked off. I see 2 external hydra dwellings but the guard is 0_0…
Quickly took 2 villages and built Prefectures because it was clear the respawn was poor and there was no source of gold. There is 1 Dragon Fly Hive on the respawn… 2 Griffin Conservatories.
But while breaking through the guard to the hydra monks, the external dwelling itself was hard to take… no meat left, and I didn't go into the pre-max/max Dragon Fly Hive. And without reinforcements, the scouts can't take the second external dwelling deep in the respawn on their own. I had to send Taz there with a huge loss of tempo.
The third hydra nook's guard is outright brutal — 50-99 gr medusas. It was left as a treat by the second week. Barely scraped together enough for hydras in the castle + 2 hydra external dwellings.
While Tazar was returning from the depths of the respawn, he gobbled up that MAX Dragon Fly Hive along the way, and the scouts knocked out 2 Griffin Conservatories +2+3.. and collected gold from the crypts.
124 Taz hits GG 64 gr unicorns — without mass magic it was a tough fight. -1 angel -1 hydra -2 Wyverns.
Then the opponent comes out from above as I expected. And is exactly one turn behind Tazar. Tazik eats everything in his path, while the opponent turned into the treasure zone off-road. Tazar heads toward him and attacks. Bron (7-22) has 8 archers. 8 titans. 8 ducks. and a power stack. Taz (18-25) has 16 hydras, 20 ducks, 4 angels and a power stack. There was a surprise: Bron had a red orb +1 to speed. I almost got stuck — 3 archers remained and my hydra stack… which wouldn't have reached the archers and GG for lack of gold to buy back… but my remaining single units helped drive the archers back, and Bron retreats with 3 Archers. If the opponent were more experienced, I'd definitely have been stuck; as it was, a good lesson for me.
Tazar was left with his 16 hydras, 4 Wyverns, 1 angel. Cleaned up the treasure zone, and by 136 when the opponent decided to take my capital, Tazar quickly retook it from Bron.
Thanks for the game!
I confirm. A decent setup, the only thing was there was no good main, nevertheless I played generally not badly, took 2 Dragon Utopias with weak Bron, one was a 3-stack, the army was 5 archers, 20 ducks, I picked up boots and gloves and by 126 came out through liches (if I had come out on 125 the game might have gone differently). In general, Tazar cut me off from the tastiest stuff, FB wasn't advantageous for me, with those parameters I didn't particularly press, but when I got caught I managed to inflict losses on Tazar (regarding the hydras, I thought a 2-hex unit with 7 speed would reach me everywhere), after that there were no chances.
Thanks for the game!
