Today, before the start of the match, I had a strange feeling that I would be rushing. Opponent takes one rest, I look at the draft: at the respawn, a Pandora's Box for 10-19 wood, external dwellings of unicorns and centaurs. The roads aren't great, but there are interesting exits along the off-road; I break through one - there's a dungeon! I level Grindan for a rush.
On 114, red flags appeared. Grinya is already level 8, I flee from the re among the neutral stacks and replenish my mana.
117, I step onto the portal, cutting Tazar off from the main. Opponent hit-runs with Dimer, snipes 10 elves, but doesn't attack with Tazar.
121, I attack myself; I have no archers, but the advantage in meat and Oil decide the battle. Tazar flees.
122, I take the swamp village, there's a Mage Guild; Grinya now has archers with 92 health.
123, Tazar attacks again and gets wrecked by the archers. After that, I crush the pesky units and wait for a wood delivery, since there's already a Castle in the swamp and I want to play more safely.
On 125, the opponent types GG.
