I completely slept through the start of the game after some heavy workdays; with a pretty good map generation, I almost made it. Bron entered, 2 hydra external dwellings—though I was short a few MP to paint the second one—a wive external dwelling and 4 trees, a couple of boxes, and 4 Dragon Utopias for future prospects. I spent some time poking around and decided to take a Dragon Utopia; they gave me royal loot: Captain's Hat and Steel Ball. In the end, I came out as a pack on 125. I was immediately intercepted there, with 34 wives and 6 chaos hydras cut down, revealing berserkers and imps. I decided to fight back; after all, it is a tournament.

I bought out 4 hydras, crashed into the secondary area near the center; I wanted to take Nagobank and Consu, but thought that 4 hydras could handle the Dragon Utopia themselves, and there was an untaken one in the center while the opponent had run off somewhere. I go in, find a red ball and a +6 sword, but a hydra retreats. I run back toward the village, picking up +2 speed along the way. Later, Moner finds another Dragon Utopia in the sands; I decide not to touch my home ones for now and try to eat the one in the sands. In a rush, I forget to remove the red ball, and as a result, the Dragon Utopia guards cut some of the meat. I go in at max capacity with 4 chaos hydras—about 30 lizards and 3 cows. Shield, leather, healing—I emerge with 2 hydras, find КЗ and Gladius, now we're getting somewhere.

Bit by bit, I push out the center Castle, then a second one, and a miracle—an untouched Kvozdukha. The situation improved slightly, but there were nearly a hundred wives, a pack of grey bears, and higher stats; the opponent had gone to feed heavily on another barbo respawn. Sending a scout landing party over the mountains, Papal Moner finds the Dragon with all artifacts and bears. I attack with bracers, and the Alliance gathers. Then I arrived at the opponent's respawn and was attacked, but the advantage was already on my side.

Thanks for the game!
