"Newcomer-2014. Summer"

Spent all my restarts, had to take 112 because of losing almost all my Centaurs on the respawn with the external Dragon dwelling. The opponent didn't take any restarts and we ended up playing a layout where I got Tanth. There was a big Griffin Conservatory right under the Castle. No external dwellings, no money. The passages to the adjacent zone were from the arrow towers. Barely managed to build Cavalry in the Citadel and stood before the marks on day 7. Broke through, and there were 10-19 Snipers almost immediately. Had to find money for an upgrade of the Cavalry to outrun them. Spent several more days on that. Septienna arrived and saved Tanth from being wasted, as I miscalculated the amount of Sniper damage. A wave of death decided the outcome.

In the end, I captured the secondary Castle and found another Griffin Conservatory. Meanwhile, Torosar unexpectedly appeared, having broken through the adjacent zone, one day's march from my main. The chain didn't quite deliver the meat from the Castle, and I couldn't split Tanth. Thought for a long time and at the last second plopped down the Castle and bought units in ones. This could have been a fatal mistake, because against 3 Towers I wouldn't have gotten my main back. But the opponent miraculously slipped past Rampart and ran toward the Castle. He later said he didn't notice my main. The first skirmish between Tanth and Torosar happened on the Castle zone, where I drove off the opponent almost without losses, using oil and lightning at 80, against his 5 upgraded Nagas and 120 Caps. He didn't have money to buy them back, so he had to give up the remaining Nagas.

After such incredible luck, I decided to collect Griffin Conservatories and go into the treasure zone. Took the maximum zone under my main despite 3 Griffin Morale, then the level 3 zone next to the Castle. The treasure zone turned out to be rich in Dragon Fly Hives — got 38 of them, and missed a couple more because Torosar appeared again in front of my main.

Fought with Tanth, the chain didn't quite deliver the meat, and Tanth had to run after it himself, but I had a serious advantage in power, and the opponent surrendered despite capturing the Castle.

Thanks for the game!
