One for all and all for one - 3

After all the resets, when I saw the swamp in the Tavern, I was happy, but when I revealed my respawn, sorrow came :D
2 Dragon Fly Hives (8+4), an external dwelling of cows, Ducks, about 5-6 Gnolls, and a hefty Griffin Conservatory with Guardian Spirit.
The respawn was large, so I couldn't gather everything quickly.
On the first day, I only built 1-6 in the Citadel.
I emerged around day 124 with Tyras using oil via Necro horses. Mana was only 10, but that was enough to also kill the Unicorns for a shield +12 and Necro boots.
Next came +5 all stats and a Dragon Fly Hive; a red loser appeared in the wasteland, Kyrre of all people with excellent stats and a Dragon Utopia nearby. I had to go through the wasteland with the main hero to chase them off and enter the Dragon Utopia; thankfully, the stats were already decent. I gave away meat in tier 3, hoping for a Key of Salvation, but I got Wings, a Helm +10, and a Captain's Hat :cool: .
Nearby was Mephala with an army, who attacks on her turn. I'm stronger in stats, but there was oil and an army advantage; I had to buy my way out. I have 4 Angels, 27 Ducks, and 1+1+1 Mighty Gorgons. She has 1 Angel, 20 Ducks, lots of Gremlins, and Mages.
Day 127 was spent replenishing mana and buying artifacts on the Black Market for +1 Speed and +1 all stats.
Day 131: a home Dragon Utopia with a minimum loadout containing a Book of Water; the plan to capture the central Castle didn't work out, so I had to wait until the next day. I dug up a level 10 Green in jail; he is preparing to break through 50+ Giant Cyclops for the prison next turn.
Day 132: upgraded the Ducks, roughly 32, and I buy them out. The 78 Cyclops got beaten; they gave me a hard time, but in the prison is the mage Aenain, level 30. In the arsenal: Water Magic, Catapult, Intelligence. I head towards the Castle to buy out Tyras there and take the central Dragon Utopia, but Mephala is sitting there with all her might.
Vision showed 19 mana; essentially I only have water spells in my arsenal, but I'm counting on a lot of mana and I attack.
I have 4 Angels, 6 Mighty Gorgons, 1+16 Gnolls, 1+31 upgraded Ducks.
Mephala: 280 Gremlins, 3 Titans, 1+1 upgraded Djinn, 1 Angel, 15 Arch Mages, 32 Ducks.
I ruin the fight as much as I can, but I crawl out with 4 Cows :smile04: after which the opponent surrenders.
Thanks for the game.
