The opponent spent all their rests. After their last restart, I think for a while about whether to take a rest or not. The respawn is on the surface. In a corner of the respawn, I find an external dwelling of bulls behind a lot of grand cows. I realize I can hardly take it on day 1 (in the end, I never got around to it). There is a Griffin Conservatory behind a group of snipers. Also, there are no blocks, there is a lookout near the town, and simple monsters guard the passage to the secondary resources. An unpleasant moment was the strategic lookout on the opponent's respawn, which, when they uncovered it, revealed a significant portion of my respawn (I see it from my own lookout). I ultimately decide not to take a restart.

I immediately send the Miner to the secondary resource. On day 112, I break through 2 guards (the secondary resource is underground) and encounter a block of a lot of grand fish (guardian in a treasure chamber through a portal). I break through them easily and see a Necropolis secondary resource. On day 113, I take the secondary resource, hire 2 heroes there, conduct reconnaissance, and realize that the respawn near the secondary resource is poor, so I decide to split the Miner and rush to another one, grabbing a +1 Defense boost along the way. On day 115, I break into the second secondary resource — it turns out to be a Citadel respawn, and around the same time, the opponent reveals Goshan in the tavern. (I'm furious that I didn't take the rest :smile51: ) At the Citadel respawn, I see a Conservatory, check it — 3-4 with a grand stack. By day 117, I take the secondary resource, scout the respawn, and have the Miner peek into the treasure chamber. Bulls appear in the Castle town, and that's the end of any construction, since there's no sulfur visible at all. (I did stick a Vortex with Guild level 1 in the main a bit later.) I quickly realize there's nothing much to catch in the treasure chamber, so I turn around and go to take the Dwarf Cottage, leaving a scout hero to explore the treasure chamber. The scout hero doesn't find anything particularly good, except for a Book of Fire + there's a boost on the Citadel respawn, and a Dragon Utopia opens up there too, but none of this will be taken in the end. On day 125, Goshan catches my scout hero in the treasure chamber, having previously grabbed a mini Dragon Fly Hive (he has 200 skeletons, an angel, 5 Necromancy horses, 4 ducks). I rush the Miner to the native Conservatory (it's minimal), take it. I decide to take the 3-4 Conservatory by the start of week 3. Meanwhile, Goshan disappears somewhere from the treasure chamber. I recover the +4Kn helmet with the scout, put a Vortex on the Miner, and run to the Conservatory. The Conservatory is size 4, but it was dealt with easily. I decide it's time to visit the opponent (from the Citadel secondary resource, there's a passage to their main), after first running into the treasure chamber from the other side. In the treasure chamber, I find 2 Dragon Fly Hives, see Angel Wings behind a horde of genies and a level 5 hat + a prison behind a horde of wizards. On day 135, in full view of the enemy Moandor, I take all of this. It was a bit scary to fight the wizards (there turned out to be 80+ of them), but with Tactics + Oil, they were broken through easily. On day 136, I stand next to the mountains with a stack of 5 angels near the opponent's main, hoping to double-dose and take their main next turn, but the opponent spots me. 4 seconds before the end of my turn, Goshan hits me with 500+ skeletons, 21 ducks, and dirt. I only have enough gold to buy back 3 out of the 5 angels, so I throw 2 imps into the face of their ducks, lose 2 angels, and buy back. The opponent manages to kill another scout hero, but doesn't reach the main hero with the power stack. I quickly bring the power stack to the main, the opponent chases me, and on day 141 with the new growth, I attack Goshan. There's a Red Ball involved, but I have more meat, so Goshan buys back. I have 28 Medusas, 16 grand Minotaurs, 3 Angels, 26 Ducks, 40 grand Eyes, and a Miner at 10 10 5 6 against Gosha at 7 6 6 6 with a Duck, 12 Vampires, a Necromancy Horse, a Bone Dragon, 8 Liches, and 500 Skeletons. However, the opponent decides to continue. Then I run to their main and capture it. In Goshan's tavern, Fire Birds are revealed; I think it's a refuge, but after capturing their Conflux secondary resource, I see it's fully built (birds in the castle). I realize Goshan has fled to the swamp treasure chamber; meanwhile, I take all their towns, killing almost all their scout heroes, and essentially waste a week goofing off, fearing they might snatch a town. (If they had captured Conflux or Necropolis, it would have been tough for me.) In the end, on the last day, when the opponent has a chance to capture a town, I block the portal through which they could reach the nearest Castle, and they have no choice but to attack me. The force ratio is as follows:
Miner: (11 11 8 3) 24 grand Eyes, 24 Ducks, 4 Fire Birds, 12 grand Minotaurs, 11 Psychics.
Goshan: (15 10 8 8) 2 Fire Birds, 11 Ducks, 4 Necromancy Horses, 320 Skeletons.
The fireball was cast crookedly, but I still won in the end. The opponent has no chance left and types GG.

Thank you for a very intense game. It was tough! :smile04:
