"Newcomer-2014. Summer"

My opponent took all the restarts. I used 2 and decided not to restart the external dwelling for horses under Castle and the Griffin Conservatory. In terms of economy, this turned out to be the worst setup on a small map I have ever played. I managed to place the horses in the Citadel only by sheer luck. And then there was simply no money left for buying up units. I had to exchange resources from a single market. I couldn't capture the external dwelling in week 1 — besides, there wasn't much point, as I simply wouldn't have been able to buy out the units. The secondary hero on the stone paths was blocked by Evil Eyes, and my only route was into the Underground.

I broke through there in week 2. I sacrificed two horses on a pile of shooter blocks, captured a Necropolis secondary hero, and spent time gathering gold and resources. Towards the end of the week, I took a level 3 Naga Bank. I also took two level 1 Griffin Conservatories.

Ivor got the Logbook from the start, then Earth and the Armor. In week 3, he found an excellent treasure zone in the Underground with plenty of Dragon Fly Hives and began collecting them gradually. The plan was to gather flies, capture a Dragon Utopia, buy up the growth, and head for the opponent's main. But at the start of week 4, the opponent surrendered.

Thanks for the game!
