A crazy game, I gambled on a draft without a restart, the opponent took 1. On the first day I found 4 crypts and a Griffin Conservatory, decided to play it out. There were also two roads: one to the sands, the other to the center. Also at the spawn there were still Centaur braces and a Centaur halberd, which was also not unimportant. + I found an external dwelling of Wyverns, and also took out the Serpents in week 2 and never went back there. Apart from the crypts, there was almost no money. I killed the green tower, built the Lookout Tower, and through the mountains I saw the native lands of the Elves; I moved the army to the spawn, and right then a purple Conflux came out of nowhere and took my tower. I went to the sands to take the native village.
On day 121, the plan was to take the village, get money from there because I needed to buy things, but I had only built a Wyvern in the Citadel — simply had nothing to build with. On the way I ran into a horde of gargoyles, which I simply had no way to beat (92 of them) for a Dragon Fly Hive, I saved up money, broke through, and realized it was the native village, even though an external dwelling of Wyverns and Beholders was visible on the lava. For the whole week I explored the native village. Luckily, no one had yet appeared from the subway where one of the central villages was. I lost a lot of army entering the Dwarf Cottage and the artifact, rushed to 49 Dendroid Guards which I had nothing to kill them with, and the Dendroids caught 8 morale drops during the battle. After the Dwarf Cottage, I bought up and took a Dragon Fly Hive for 8 Wyverns, an external Beholder dwelling, and inserted them into the Citadel.
Week 3 had already started; I took another couple of hives there and the maximum with a Gnoll Hero's Naga Bank at that spot, bought up, and took the maximum Griffin Conservatory with a Gnoll Hero near the capital. So on day 134 I crawled to the center village, figured that if it wasn't taken and no one was bothering me, then the Elves were somewhere else. The center was poor, only 15k for Wyverns, and I took a couple of Naga Banks behind the center village, but there was a Dragon Utopia. I built a Castle.
On day 141, buying up and going there — it was a minimal one, only 1 Wyvern and 1 Wyvern were lost, and I got a Cape of Velocity and that's it. Here the running around began; I revealed a second village and it was in the hands of red, and Kyrre was there, having just broken the Dragon Utopia and having grown in stats. I saw a group of Bears in the opponent's army for the first time at that moment. I retreated from the center in two directions: one to computers 6 and 8, where everything was very tedious and there was nothing. I recaptured my tower from Conflux and killed him. There I built a Town Portal already at the beginning of month 2 with 5 Air Magic skill. Then with Town Portal, frantic running around the map; I found a Dragon Utopia in the Dungeon in a corner; I went there with Boots of Speed, Centaur's Braces, and a Loin Crossbow for 4 days. From there, Town Portal — first contacts with the Castle computer; the plan was to build Archangels there, I had 3 often-used Artifacts of the Dwarven Lords and 2 from the Elixir of Life. In weeks 6–7 I searched for all this; I used View of Earth and View of Air spells on the landscape, trying to see where I could forage. Finally I found another Dragon Utopia in the snow; there was a useless Golem Artifact there; in the Tower I got Fly and Air Elementals. From there I took the opponent's Castle, bought 39 Dendroid Guards there, and burned 2 external Dragon dwellings! The opponent already had stats 38-20 and Magic stats around 20. I had only 12, 20, 13-13; I broke the Shackles of War that were spotted from week 2. On day 241, Kyrre recaptured her capital and for some reason stayed on the starting zone. By that point I had gathered Artifacts of the Dwarven Lords and attacked her with 70 Griffin Veterans, 45 Battle Unicorns, 64 Wyverns, 4 Archangels, 14 Angels, 176 Serpent Flies, and 40 Scorpicores. There was the Orb of the Firmament, but the army was small for the opponent; the player had 8 Angels and 40 Silver Pegasi + 1 Dragon; the other weak opponent had 19 War Unicorns and 22 Green Dragons; the third had 19 Gold Dragons, 25 Phoenixes, 50 Grand Elves, and 25 Wyverns. All fell, of course.
After all, we decided to fight Fog of War, and I still won)). True, I don't know how; the medal decided +3+3 Artifacts of the Dwarven Lords, Tazar, and I think the actions in the battle itself were good.
An interesting moment: Tazar has 12-20, Kyrre has 38-22. 17 Archangels hit 22 Dragons — 1 remains; Berserk and Luck worked wonderfully. I also found a use for the PALACH demon-breaking spell against monsters; the Wyverns were good.
Thanks for the game to my opponent. It turned out very interesting despite the poorest map.

I confirm,
the draft was simply amazing, 2 external Dragon dwellings, but the roads from the spawn were very long, and I collected crystals bit by bit. I took a Barbarian on my first week; he had an external Bear dwelling on his road. In week 2 I built Bears in the Fort at home; first I got Rogues in the Castle; I only reached the external Dragon dwellings in week 4 and built Dragons at home; then I took a Dragon Utopia 6 probably, and everything else was junk; I gathered 8 Angels and 20+ Griffins (there were very few Dragon Fly Hives); I played calmly because I saw a significant advantage in stats, and with an income of 6 Dragons and 4 Bears per week, why rush? But in the end I lost without a chance =(.
Thank you for the game.
