I frankly overslept the start of the game, after a tough workweek, and with pretty good generation I almost got caught. Bron entered, 2 external dwellings of hydras, though I was a few MP short to claim the second one, an external dwelling of wyverns and 4 trees, a couple of boxes, and with an eye to the future — 4 Dragon Utopias. I kind of stalled and dawdled, decided to take a Dragon Utopia, and got a royal reward: Captain's Hat and Steel Ball, ended up going out on week 1, day 25. There I was immediately accepted, cutting down 34 wyverns and 6 chaos hydras, showing Berserker and Implosion. I decided to fight, it's a tournament after all.

I bought 4 hydras, split into a secondary hero near the center, wanted to take a Naga Bank and a Griffin Conservatory, but figured 4 hydras could handle the Dragon Utopia themselves, and in the center there was an unclaimed one, and the opponent ran off somewhere. I go in, there's a Red Sphere and a Sword +6, but the hydra retreats. I run back to the town, picking up +2 speed along the way. Then Monere in the sands finds another Dragon Utopia, I decide not to touch the home ones yet, but try to gobble up the one in the sands. In a rush, I forget to take off the Red Sphere, so the Dragon Utopia guard kills off some of the meat, I go in with maximum stats on 4 chaos hydras, about 30 lizards and 3 cows. Shield, Skin, Cure — I come out with 2 hydras, there's КЗ and Gladius, that's something.

Little by little, I squeeze the center Castle, then a second one, and a miracle — an untouched Air Conflux. The situation improved a bit, but there were about a hundred wyverns, a pack of bears, and better stats; the opponent went off to feed heavily on another respawn. I send a reconnaissance drop across the mountains, and papal Monere finds a Dragon with all the artifacts and bears. I attack with the Vambraces, the Alliance gathers. Then I came to the opponent's respawn and was attacked, but the advantage was already on my side.

Thanks for the game!
