"King of the Hill"

ProtosArchon (Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def twaryna (Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) 8mm6a, 2.1.5

We used no restarts and played 1st generation. I got OK start with lizards prebuild, cons with throng griffins and hive in area. Took gnoll dwell and had basilisks too, but guarded by horde marksmen, so i left it for wk2. By the end of wk1 i explored around a bit and did not found much, but Tazar is already exp log and adv earth.
Wk2 i took green flux and got book plus 2k income. Retreated Tazar and go back to take basilisks and cons. I was hoping to get exp earth for cons, but could not refuse offense so attacked cons with adv earth only and lost some army there. In the meantime opponent came to my area for an early rush. I managed to bring Tazar back in town and stayed there 1 day to buy all army. After that i attacked and killed some army, but opponent surrendered.
Wk3 i decided to go in my treasury. There i found some hives, one cons and one tope. Took tope at the begining wk4 and got red orb, wings and fire tome. In flux guild i got no dd and tp and all other towns were stronghold, so i was worried about lack of control. Tried to find utopia but wherever i go, i found that opponent was already there.
Wk5 i discovered another utopia in the corner of my t area, but i was far away from there, so getting tp was a priority. In my search i came in purple PC area where opponent attacked me. He had elixir of life and higher stats with equal army, but red orb and Tazar's speciality decided. Thx for game

I confirm. Good start in Dungeon - spread out, a couple of external Troglodyte dwellings, an external dwelling of cats for the future, on the second turn an external Minotaur dwelling was found. But all week there was a shortage of gems and the Minotaurs ultimately didn't come online. I built cats. Shakti got Logistics. I took the external Minotaur dwelling + portal and rode the long road towards the opponent. On day 121 I was a couple of hexes short of the castle, too bad. On day 122 I killed the swamp, Shakti boosted at the stable. Then I ended up at the opponent's, it turned out I poked in there for nothing. I didn't scout the Hive enough + bracers not far from the road - I should have gone there instead. FB1 near Protos' castle - a trade not in my favor. With the remnants of the army by the end of the second week I take back the vial and the external cat dwelling. Then a Griffin Conservatory for 2 angels and I return to the already scouted bracers and Dragon Fly Hive. I kill the Stronghold and Castle computer towns - there's a Capitol. Along the way I take a few hives with low-tier units - very unlucky. On breaking through the first one I lose an angel and there's a minimus. Then I stupidly lose a duck on a break into a corner treasure zone. And the last Dragon Fly Hive on the flat surface - only ducks go there. And it's maxed out, of course) In the end, a zero-sum trade. I scouted a Dragon Utopia and take it with a reinforcement of feeder and 23 ducks + 10 cats (a day later than the opponent, as it turned out) - they give a Teapot and a ring for HP. Then Tazar shows up on wings. I move the troops into the corner treasure zone of the Stronghold - a Dragon Utopia is scouted there. Tazar is hot on my heels. But I manage to take it first. They give Captain's Hat and a second ring for HP - there's Elixir. At least something, given the army disadvantage and lack of control. Tazar attacks Shakti a second time - I see the red orb - sad. I surrender immediately. I build the mage guild at home - empty. Meanwhile Ciele is fighting hard on Minotaurs - clearing what she can in the home corner treasure zone, which turned out to be poor. Then I take a couple of Conservatories. A Dragon Utopia of size one with a bag of gold and a little dolphin (the Admiral's Hat is complete!). I ride to the Conflux and Castle computers. I take Conflux and I almost drop my jaw. The Grail is built there! :eek: But I didn't rejoice for long. Tazar appears immediately. I thought for a long time whether to attack or not, but I decided to do a FB anyway, since where to go next to feed is unclear, and I can't give up Conflux either (it was not far from the swamp + Castle is nearby). In short, I gathered all the power I could, upgraded the ducks and attacked with bracers. I had stat advantage + Elixir, but I had no Armor and on the other side Tazar with more power and +1 speed. Tazar wins. Thanks for the game!
