Three minor artifacts and two Gorgon nests for the entire map; not enough mana and knowledge, so after blocking in the center, I was left with 9 ducks and a dozen Gorgons from the horde of upgraded horses. I can't take the Utopia, there are no hives, and then my opponent appeared with a bunch of meat from the nests, easily destroying the block of 20+ angels. I ran upwards, somehow broke through the horde of upgraded pits behind the Keep, and started waiting for turn 131. Although the chain was broken by my opponent, I managed to attack with a bonus and buy my way out; finally, I can attack the horde of upgraded beasts for the artifacts and the helmet, all +6. Then I take the Utopia - they double up on 3 artifacts (the army is weak, the opponent is already running upwards - I free the 30th-level mage from the prison with losses, but there is nothing in the area for the army). I send him upwards, take the Book of Earth, and I plan to defeat Tazar and sit down to replenish mana. Most likely, the opponent would have caught up, and there would have been a final battle with a one-sided outcome (with 4 beasts from the Pandora box and a dozen Wyverns against a bunch of nests and the Book of Earth, you can't just push through), but without thinking, I decided to save moves and attack the opponent's hero (I was sure that there was no tactic or bracers there), but I forgot about the wave of death. Thanks for the game!
