Shakti with 2 stacks in the underground, native town is swamp. On 111 took a Dwarf Cottage at 15, revealed a Griffin Conservatory, Mephala arrived. Then I was unsure who to level up, Mephala is better in the long run, but she was offered water magic, while Shakti took earth magic, so doubts disappeared. Griffin Conservatory on respawn is Troglodytes. Broke through to the opponent, also a Griffin Conservatory and an external dwelling of Hydras there, killed the opponent on week one. Building on week one: Cats in the Citadel in my main and Wyverns in the Citadel in the opponent's Castle. Then tried to go from the opponent's zone to the center, but there was a block of 20-49 Cyclops. However, I spotted another Griffin Conservatory 3-4. On week two, I hit my own town, doubled the mana, took the home Griffin Conservatory double (previously checked with a weak hero). Then earth magic is being leveled up, I have Slow, and two Griffin Conservatories on the swamp are taken (2+3). Finally, I break the portal to the center, there's swamp again (how much more of this), I sit in the Castle, see the Gloves. Slowly build the Mage Guild. Meanwhile, the third week has started, and no Utopia in sight, nor Dragon Fly Hives. On 132, red flags appear, on my turn I see Grindan with a solid army: 20-49 Dragon Flies, 20-49 Minotaurs. I estimate that I need to attack in any case, running somewhere is not an option at all, swamps everywhere, no special prospects in sight.

Shakti 8 12 7 8 (103) 7 Dragon Flies, 2 Hydras, 7 Angels, 110 Troglodytes, 32 Beholders, 8 Cats, 1 Troglodyte

Grindan 5 1 (28) 20 Dragon Flies, 27 Minotaurs, 2 Angels, 16 Magogs, 5 Dwarves, 15 Centaurs.

I immediately blind the Beholders and Angels, cast Slow, expecting Slow in response, but unexpectedly Haste flies in. All defend, opponent's Wyverns after waiting hit my Wyverns, Minotaurs finish them off, Angels kill 1 Cat. At the start of the next round, the Wyverns fail morale and that's immediately GG.

Thanks for the game.
