Thanks for game :)

No luck in the lottery — picked towns last and color last, opponent's choice surprised me — Inferno, so gladly I grab the barbarians.
111- I see two Dragon Fly Hives, an external dwelling of birds behind diamonds + dead man's shield there too, Cielek arrives.
112- I break the guard of the Dragon Fly Hive near the external dwelling of birds with Cielek, check it — max. Crag hits the diamonds for the shield and the external dwelling. LOHI scatter in all directions for scouting.
113- I break the Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns with Crag, LOHI on the other side near the village break through two Griffin Conservatories. Plan: Cielek takes the second Dragon Fly Hive, and Crag breaks into the village and picks up the Griffin Conservatories.
114- Cielek breaks the Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns, but barbarian ground is not meant for long maneuvers, and the chain doesn't deliver the army to Crag. Crag at the Griffin Conservatory (checked — a two).
115- Crag breaks the Griffin Conservatory for 2 Griffins (army — 16 Wyverns, a bear, 5 birds, and riffraff from the village), then a Griffin Conservatory for 3 Griffins. LOHI spot another Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Fly Hive on the other end of the resp, and a tavern right on cue. I transfer the army there this turn (thank God the chain was mobile). Crag breaks into the tavern and Desa buys him out.
116- Crag breaks a Griffin Conservatory — a three, breaks himself against the Dragon Fly Hive in the main and rides to the GO. Desa takes the Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns and shield +6.
117- Crag replenished mana via the well and stands at the GO of Champions (stats 8 12 4 4, expert attack, defense, tactics, and wisdom, basic air).
121- Delivered the army, broke the GO, no losses on auto combat, fly out into the center, and there's a miner there. The tavern reveals that my army power is stronger (8 Griffins, 23 Wyverns, 3 bears, single birds). I decide to snatch a chest for 50+ Archmagi (with weak guards like that there should be something tasty behind them), but I'm one hex short of grabbing it... sadness. LOHI scouted nothing in the center, and Crag is blind. I propose to Vova to split spheres of influence, to which he kindly agreed and became my eyes, promptly giving me the layout of where, what, and where to go. There was an option to kill him actually, but I wanted to take out the English-speaking opponent, since I'd had trouble with him (I'm not strong in English, and I handled all negotiations and the draw).
122- I grab the chest for full magic, Vova gives a dungeon for mana doubling, the center is empty — nothing special there...
123- Clumsy manipulations with Dimension Door and in the end I stand at the GO of blue.
124- I take blue's main, followed by a surrender.


Thanks for the game.
