MuLLIyTa (blue, Citadel, Crag Hack, Galthran) def Browser (red, Conflux, random, Das) JC 146
The opponent took all the restarts and we started playing. Crag gets Tazar and Gosh thrown in as well. Under the Castle there's a Dwarf Cottage with minimal guards and 2 Imp dens, I decide this is perfect for Galthran + I also get Xi, who immediately specialises in Necromancy. On the second day I see 2 Griffin Conservatories, 3 Hives and 2 external dwellings for birds. But because of the large number of Citadels on the map (mine + center + neutral) the guards turned out to be too tough. After capturing one external dwelling (17 grand elites) I lose everything on the guard of another (~50 grand Cerberi), meanwhile I find 2 Cliffs of Strange Creatures, both guarded by 50+ Magog. I don't have time to take the first one, and I don't have the army anyway. I built Bears and, after taking the external bird dwelling, I clear the external market. With a full trade I buy up birds and bears. I take the Dragon Fly Hive and the Griffin Conservatory. The external creature dwelling, and I find 15k gold in a Pandora's Box, which I use to build Gargoyles. I decide not to take anything else on my main and run straight to the GO, taking a position at the race on turn 127. On turn 131 the Opp breaks our shared GO and attacks Galthran. There are 50+ Griffins, 4 Phoenixes and 2 Angels against my 15 Griffins, 15 Birds, 4 Gargoyles, Bears and 2 Angels. I manage to buy myself out, luckily I was positioned well on my home ground. I buy everything I can, get 3 more Angels from the Conservatory and from the Dragon Utopia I get Boots of Speed +2 to everything and a Breastplate for battle stats, a Bag of 1000 gold and a Vial of Mercury don't count)) I run to the center to meet. I capture the central secondary Tower (right behind the GO). There's already a scout hero there; from one of the Hives on the opp's respawn I determine that there's already some kind of Flight there, well I think it's all over, I won't get the center. But after running a bit along the road I see that not all is lost. I capture the central Citadel and run further. Meanwhile, the opp, without mana, returns to the Tower and goes to clear his own respawn. And the center turned out to be not so bad; in a couple of days I turn 15 Griffins into 49 + a Dragon Utopia (Collar of Might +3 stats) and run to the neutral Barbarian respawn. It's already week 4. I bought everything but I can't bring it forward, there's no control at all. But I do have a hero with almost expert Diplomacy. I wanted to use him against a scout hero and transfer everything to Galthran. I also scout the neutral zone, there's nothing there except two Hives. But then the Opp can't take it anymore and runs to me. I made a few more Skeletons and attack. The Opp immediately casts Oil, and that was the main mistake. I have Mass Haste and Oil too. I immediately rush in and on the second turn Opp writes GG. Thanks for the game.
