18.07.14 That Same Dio (blue, Castle, Caitlin, Tyris) draw Grumbler (red, Rampart, Kyre, Kyre) jebus 241

Another stubborn game.

The spawn was average. The pleasant things: an angel external dwelling right next to the castle, three Dragon Fly Hives, three marksmen external dwellings, two Griffin Conservatories, two cavalry external dwellings, a juggernaut for 25 cyclops kings, a hat for the fifth level behind vampire lords (20+), a couple of naga banks and dwarf dwellings. It would seem like a great spawn, but there's a small nuance: the respawn is large, the roads are average, all the main goodies are far from the roads and from the castle, and there's no stable. Plus, both Griffin Conservatories are single-level, and the GO is 16 green dragons and 8 gold dragons.

By the end of the first week, I built angels in the fort; on the first day of the second week, I captured the external dwelling and built archangels, totaling three. I cleared the Dragon Fly Hives, one of the Griffin Conservatories, and took the juggernaut. On the third week, with 7 archangels, 50 upgraded archers, 16 wyverns, and fodder, I broke through the GO.

I reached the center before my opponent again. Just like in the last game, right at the entrance I found wings for 15 green dragons. By then, my main hero had just learned expert earth - scouting the ground showed that the center was really tiny. The next turn, I took one of the two (!) Dragon Utopias present in the center, a big Dragon Fly Hive, and stopped one step away from the central town (Swamp). The next day, I captured the town, built and bought wyverns, and cleared the surroundings. My opponent showed up. I flew out right in front of him, took the second central Dragon Utopia, and flew back to replenish mana. The opponent turned around and ran back.

After that, the entire map was cleared again. My opponent got one AI zone, and I got the other. Right before the start of the third week of the second month, I cunningly flew over the mountains and captured my opponent's Elf town on his native respawn. I thought it was his main town, but it turned out to be a secondary one. A secondary town upgraded to a castle and green dragons. History showed that I did everything right, because the next day the week of the green dragon was declared, so +7 growth in both castles would have been too much.

My opponent was scared of my 20 archangels and 50 attack, so he refused to leave the castle for the final showdown. I didn't feel like running around anymore, and I wasn't confident of victory, so I offered a draw, and my opponent agreed.

As it turned out, he did this in vain. In the final fight, which we agreed to hold just for fun, he won by a large margin. Roughly equal stats, a magic ban by my opponent, and his huge advantage in fodder decided it.

Thanks for the game! Be less afraid and have more faith in yourself!
