Vatya (blue, dungeon, Miner) def Akella (red, ramp, Kirya) 8xm8a 144
The rematch didn't work out.

On the first, I cleared 2 Dragon Fly Hives, both 50-99 — risky to take, can't handle the max, but at 12 I dunno, even if I can handle it, it'll be with a full wipe, only 90+ trogs. Checked the first, and sure enough, it's a 12. Ah, screw it, I go in — tempo is more important. Got out God knows how with 20+ trogs, but we have 8 Wyverns. I go into the next one, and there's a max — meat stacks of singles :eek: The auto showed a full wipe; I got out purely by pulling the flies aside and standing in the opposite corner — Wyverns with retaliation left 1-2 per stack, so the 18 flies nervously smoked for 3-4 rounds. Barely got out with 2 Wyverns, but now we have 14 Wyverns — the next Dragon Fly Hive can be taken more confidently.

I broke through to the treasure zone; there's a block of 18 griffins, but КЗ were guarding it!!!! On the second, I gathered Wyverns up to 25, took the Griffin Conservatory level 3, and broke through to the КЗ, after double manning.

All the remaining time was spent searching for control and powerful ducks and griffins. I massed nearly a hundred ducks and 9 angels. On 143, I go in with 9 angels for reconnaissance and Kirya catches me — didn't even look at what's there, quickly redeemed myself, luckily had 150K gold. I buy back in the castle, upgrade the archangels, and run to Kirya. And I don't have time to redeem and bring the Wyverns — I'm standing there like a fool on 9 archangels. Brave Kirya decides not to stand on ceremony and attacks with 4 angels and 48 ducks — I thought we'd trade explosions, but the anti-magic on the archangels was unexpected. In the end, even 100+ ducks weren't needed — Fireballed without losses.
