A hotly contested game.
In the first week, I killed the computer (Swamp), broke through the underground direction, found a Dungeon village in the sands, and next to it an external dwelling of Wyverns. I ignored upgrading my own Castle, put 1345 in the Fort. Through scouting in the underground, I spotted a KV, a Shield +4 All, a couple of rich chests, a Sword +12 for 50+ Wizards, and a Griffin Conservatory level 3-4.
After buying the second Wyvern from wherever possible, I ran to the adjacent zone to pick up a KO, a Dragon Fly Hive for 4 Wyverns, broke off home – went into the underground. A Griffin Conservatory level 3 – perfect, just what I needed to break through the Wizards, but those scoundrels cast Slow. The further pain is hard to describe; in short, I lost.
But I took the Sword +12. Through breaking off battles and using an external Tavern, I pick up the Shield +4 All, KV, two Pandoras Boxes with 20k experience each. Ivor levels up so-so; he has Log + Earth, but got Resistance + Leadership; there was also Air and Tactics. On the third week, I eat up another treasure zone, again just mini Hives, I feel like laughing at this point. I break off into the Swamp (the computer's former Castle); there's a Dragon Utopia level 2 there and, yes, the Captain's Hat. Game over. Another break-off into the Dungeon, with a preliminary upgrade of Wyverns, dual mana, and on my turn 141 I capture the main Mihai using Dimension Door and Fly. There I buy the Birds and run towards Tazar under the ground. He, at the same time, finally found the Loophole Cloak to the whole level 5, which I would have taken on my next turn, which I had been spotting through scouting since the first week, but never had time to clear – annoying, because the magic stats there were even higher than mine.
Chasing Tazar, I find two more Hives – totaling 8 Wyverns :smile16: and a Dragon Utopia – there's a Water Book and Papal Pendants. On my turn 144, I reveal two Dragon Utopias, Wings, a Dragon Fly Hive, and all of it untouched, although Tazar definitely saw it (the Medusa external dwelling was painted in this part of the map). As expected, Tazar takes everything on his turn except for one Dragon Utopia in the corner and attacks with Bracers of Death and the Red Sphere.

Ivor: 33-21, Expert Attack, Expert Archery, Expert Tactics, army: 15 Manticores, 40 Monks, 8 Wyverns, 9 Dragon Flies, 2 Angels, 3 Birds, 32 Grands. +1 HP +1 Morale.
Tazar: 27-28, Expert Attack (not sure), Defense, Tactics, army: 8 Red Dragons, 47 Wyverns +1 Wyvern +1 Wyvern, 2 Angels, 3 Birds, 35 Upgraded Medusas. +3 Speed +2 Morale +3 HP.

This was a tough fight. On my side was the higher speed of my Manticores and Monks relative to the Wyverns (11 vs 10), meaning I struck first with my stacks and only then received return damage. What helped me win, literally by a hair (in the end: 7 Manticores, 7 Monks), was the fact that my Morale kicked in, while Mihai's didn't. Even with equal Morale or its complete absence, Ivor's Fireball would have lost, also by a hair, but would have lost – though to be fair, the passives of the Manticores and Monks never once triggered :).

Thanks for the interesting game!
