Redwhait HP(conf, random, Labetha, Isra) def HellLight(dungeon, Shakti) diamond 211

It turned out to be a pretty interesting game, no less than the previous one.
It all started with me deciding not to change the winning lineup and we went with the same pair. As expected, the opponent took the dungeon, leaving me the red conf.
The opponent gave me the Moon and Vindemina, I in turn also took a couple of restorations, the respawns were nothing special. Then the opponent took the last one.
I got a great start right away, got an external market with normal roads. I also got Gunnar and Tamika, a hint of the last game, and even a monument for 1k experience not far away. But right under it I got Isra immediately, and naturally depending on the nearby pair of levels determined who to level up. Isra started off well right away: Attack, Air, Wisdom in principle, and then it went great, not a single unnecessary skill!
Plus a couple of Necro villages and a +5% locket, we're living large though.
True, things didn't work out with the birds from day two, no ore was found, but I found an external dwelling of air elementals and the Legionnaire's Boots. Skeletons started trickling in slowly. Tons of money (less than 10k only in the first couple of days for the entire game), but on the first week I built 1-2 in conf with Castle, then I didn't bother.
On the second week I upgraded the air elementals, got a decent amount close to 30.
It became even easier to gather bones. I gathered up to about 250 and hit the Conservatory 2. At the end of the week I collected Dragon Fly Hives and Pandora's Boxes so I could tackle Dragon Utopias at the start of the third week. I also took a ring for HP and speed.
In the Pandora's Boxes I got experience and all water magic except level 5 since I hadn't leveled it up yet.
A mini Dragon Utopia, and before it some Boots. I cleared it on 132 right off the bat, got a Shield +4 all, not bad, onwards to 2 more Dragon Utopias.
The next mini with a chalice and a black orb before it. The second one was a 3-stack with a Sword +5 all, Wings, and I think Titan's Cuirass too. Right by the Wings I take a couple of Pandora's Boxes for Griffin Conservatories.
A Tazar appeared with 5-9 Angels, 20+ Griffin Conservatories and Swarms, 100+ Troglodytes, stats only combat roughly like mine, magic several times less. I took control of the previous turn +3 Morale, Luck, Water book, Dragon Utopia in a swamp treasure zone, I have DD and Fly.
At this point I captured my conf, already 7 Archangels there, and considering there weren't really any combat ones, I decided not to risk it and went to a corner treasure zone for a level 5 hat.
On 136 I realize I'm in trouble because he takes 2 external dwellings of Angels and next week there will be a ton. And I won't be able to do anything anymore.
Taking the hat on 141, I headed towards the Necro computer looking for treasure zones since I had lost the advantage. But on his turn, the opponent gives me a gift, a scout hero with artifacts and power goes to take Gloves and something else for Tazar and he's in my reach. The whole question was whether he has a Cape of Abjuration (which he stole from me) or not. I decided to attack with a chalice and I mistakenly wore the hat, and with Implosion there was no chance at all, but with just Ice Bolt 900+ and Oil, that was enough, the opponent bought himself out leaving 7 Archangels on the field, about 40 Swarms, all the Ruhks, and Troglodytes. At the same time he kept 20+ Griffin Conservatories, 2 Angels, and a few Swarms. I had my Storms and a few Swarms roughed up.
The situation changed immediately. Now I had to advance and catch up and gradually cut down the Archangels. The next time, the opponent put on the Cape himself, and I had the hat and again it didn't do much, from my side both Archangels minus and other small stuff, from his side -3 Archangels from a Bolt spell. 3 Archangels +5 Angels remained. Then the opponent found another one and took the red orb. I attacked, but then I thought I'd regret it because there were 8+1 and I couldn't really catch them. But fortunately, he apparently didn't have time to put on the orb and 2 Bolt spells left 1+1 Archangels and another buyout.
Then another chase and I take a Dragon Utopia that appeared on 147 right from under the opponent's nose and there's a Book of Earth finally, Town Portal. Immediately TP home, leaving the 2nd Dragon Utopia in the opponent's care. He captured it and went off into the darkness somewhere towards the Barbarian computer.
On 211 I attack a Castle, there's a Moon on an Angel who on the first turn summoned Fire Elementals, strange why not Armageddon, but it didn't really matter. I shot the Angel and on the next turn my first speed flew Implosion into the Fire Elementals.
In the Castle you can buy 4 Archangels and the opponent surrenders.

Thanks for the extremely interesting game!

P.S. And I'd like to see the Siberian Valenki write a report like that :D
