We went through all the rests and set off on a gamble. From the start, the respawn looked so-so, immediately by the Castle Dragon Utopia and library - luckily their guards don't block my path and it's a thin respawn. Dessa arrives - I decide to put her in a folder. Later, Marius signed up as her assistant, although she never actually got tactics (which is why she volunteered to work), but instead she messed up one fat pandora for magic without wisdom on the 3rd (maybe there was control there too, idk). On the first, I broke through immediately on the way to the underground, scouting heaps of imps along the way: an idea was born later to get a Necromancer to level up skeletons, but it never happened. The Necr appeared late, leveled slowly and the time limit strictly limited the actions of the same-level units. On the first, I realized that again, as usual, my road only leads to a one-way, however, a day later I broke through a portal to a respawn with an unclear computer color from the end of the list and spotted 3 cons on its ramp respawn, which eventually turned into 9 angels for me. I sent everyone I could toward demons and on 137 with 80 demons and 9 angels I took the home Dragon Utopia and rushed underground to another Dragon Utopia. Neither gave anything useful, however I decided to go further into the treasure zone with Dessa, where subsequently a couple of pandoras for experience were picked up, an external dwelling of devils was taken which came in very handy, a sword + all was picked up from the ground, and another Dragon Utopia was found on 5 Blacks with a kettle and КЗ, although I had received the portal in the computer's guild a day before, and after a couple more days jumps there as well. Control, plus same-level units all with earth and air helped me demonize and clear the map quite well, which is what decided it. As the autopsy showed, red's accessibility to Dragon Utopias and the ability to scout them quickly was much lower.
There was also a funny moment how the computer tricked me. So, I burst onto the computer's respawn from a portal idk from some corner on the first and discovered its folder with troops 1-6. He had built up quite well. I didn't want to clash with him, there were elves too, because it makes no sense to lose an army; I was saving everyone for demons for early capture of Dragon Utopias. On the 2nd week after some clever manipulations, I took the computer's Castle, naturally everything is bought and built, though without a castle. I'm sitting in it and don't know what to do. Staying put further - waste of time. If I leave - they'll take the city back. I leave a same-level unit and run with the folder far away from the computer AI, then if needed I'll pass it along a chain. The computer rushes toward the castle but "kind of" falls one cell short. I think, aha, he decided to storm, but didn't make it: I don't bring out troops, I return Dessa, let her fight back, gain experience and keep the army intact, after all the computer there was not weak: 4 unicorns, 20+ elves, dendras up to 10, kents up to 100, dwarves up to 50. The computer ran away to the same spot again. I think tomorrow he won't make it, and I went out with Dessa to help. And what do you think, the pest actually made it on the next turn, meaning it was a clever trick to lure me. But then he performs an even more amazing action: he places a castle for me and leaves the city so that I can enter, which is what I do. In the end, on 131 I have two castles and plenty of power for demons.
Thanks AI, played along.
Thanks op for the game.
