Alex_nv (Sylvan, Wingael+Talanar) defeated moo_ir (Necropolis, Kaspar+Zoltan) - Spider, 3-1-4

We played the first map. External dwellings 1 and 5 (the Necro found external dwelling 2 in the MT). At the start: Osya, Wing, and Ingvar; I decided to play as Wing focusing on empathy, one-way paths, chaos, and light (wind, regen in the adjacent zone), as I feared a rush from the Necro. In the camp, I repelled 2 Knights and had no problems; own growth was steady, plenty of money, enough resources, and construction went well. Talanar arrived second and freed Wing from unnecessary running. Time passed, and the Necro was nowhere to be seen. The only thing that worried me was the treasure zone guard (hundreds of griffins, supported by a hundred black mages and an army of blue elves). After consuming the adjacent zones, the resource zone, and one MT, and walking through the ГО area, I finally entered the treasure zone on the 6th week (without losses). It contained 2 Dragon Utopia and 2 Temple, but they were quite far. While running to the first Temple, Zoltan popped out of the MT into my adjacent zone. However, he gave almost his entire army to Kaspar via cockroaches afterward. I should have broken back home with Talanar and defended the city with him, but I didn't, and the enemy captured the city. I had to leave the partially consumed treasure zone (2 Dragon Utopia and a Temple) and run as Wing to retake the city. I was slightly too late and lost growth, but I killed Zoltan. That same week, I passed through ГО and captured the Necro's city. All that remained was to wait for Kaspar and kill him.

Thanks for an interesting game!

Very large distances in adjacent zones and poor coverage predetermined the outcome of the game. I moved too slowly and didn't manage to do anything. Plus, the opponent got lucky — found 2 initiative rings — the dragons had 21 initiative without haste.
