A decent respawn with stables, plenty of money, and easy access to secondary zones; the Griffin Conservatory is visible on the adjacent map. On week 1, birds were placed in the fort, Fiur with Earth Magic, but no Slow (never found it until the end of the game), and Passfire (which came in very handy). On 122, I scout the Griffin Conservatory with my scout — a double, I take it, then break through to the central castles past 94 Golems. The opponent sees all this but is in no hurry to interfere; as a result, I enter the treasure zone, grab 2 beehives for 12 ducks there, clear my side of ГО from two directions (60 Stone Golems and 30 Grand Elves), and head into the super treasure zone with week 3 growth. The ГО in the super treasure zone has 8 Phoenixes; I lost 10 Storm Elementals and 10 Ice Elementals there, found 3 more beehives in the treasure zone, and my ducks became 30. Meanwhile, the opponent was chasing my scout hoping to take a castle, but hit a dead end, and after defeating Fiur, I went to meet him. Faction battle with no chance — from his power stacks, there were 2 Angels, 40 Grand Elves (only three of whom remained after the hit from 7 birds), and 6 Unicorns. Thanks for the game.
