Jebus Cross - 4

Tough game. Spent all my restarts falling for the Griffin Conservatory and Dragon Fly Hive on 111, on 112 decided to check for one more day and found a scout, but on 113 realized that aside from the Griffin Conservatory, there might be a mini and a Dragon Fly Hive of the same kind, there's only a stack of dragons! Gave up and restarted. Well, the restart seemed to go too. In the end, it yielded 3 Griffin Conservatories 4 + 4+1, 2 Dragon Fly Hives with 10 ducks and a couple of Pandora's Boxes. On the first one, I ran Necril and took Pandora's Boxes for 10 experience and 60 skeletons, which gave a good Earth magic boost. On 121, I took Galthran's Griffin Conservatory 4 with Grand Style from the stables, then the scout takes the second four and a long chain, takes the Griffin Conservatory Unit and the Dragon Fly Hives, while Galthran pushes toward the far ГО. Came out on 124 with a fast push through Angels with Grand Style and Nagas. A scholar appeared in time and cast Slow right before the ГО. Ended up with 9 Angels, 10 ducks, and 300+ skeletons. Collected a few Dragon Fly Hives, nothing for stats, Galthran without Logistics, without Pathfinding, was struggling in the sands, luckily I had two heroes with Pathfinding and Logistics taking turns grabbing everything possible. On 126, I took Wings, found a Dragon Utopia beyond the mountains, seemed not bad, but on the horizon is Taz. Resource exchange. Waiting for the opponent's action. He doesn't hesitate and attacks; my stats are slightly higher, but I have no weapon, so 15 attack vs Taz's 10 defense means nothing. He has 5 Angels, 5 Hydras, 30+ ducks, and 50+ Lizardmen. I have the same, just more ducks. I cast Mass Slow, he does the same, next turn Galthran with Expert Water heals everyone he can, I cut down the duck stack by minus 15, zero mana vs 30 for blue - I buy back. I buy back near my home Dragon Utopia, take the Cape of the Air there, replenish mana. Meanwhile, Taz ran into the Triple threat below. That same scholar retrained Town Portal on the scout hero, who, with 100+ Djinns, opened a Pandora's Box with all Earth magic, and Galthran got full control. Then I collected the center while Taz ended up at Rampart's town, seeing stats around 30 while having 10 each, and wandering off to who knows where, followed by a surrender!
Thanks for the game!
