"Newcomer-2014. Summer"

Another epic game on 8mm6a. We spawned, got a respawn with two wolf stacks and a home Water Elemental, but I managed to lose a fair amount of meat in the beginning and made the game harder for myself. Then I chose the wrong direction and went into a swamp adjacent zone, thinking it was the opponent's respawn — wanted to rush him — since I managed to place Bears on the first week. Instead, I got stuck in the swamp for about a week, played very poorly, and lost too many troops. By the start of the third week, my army consisted of 3 Water Elementals, 3 Bears, and 8 Birds.

I made it to the central zone, luckily got 2 Griffin Conservatories — level 1 and level 2. Found a big treasure zone on grass with a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and a Water Elemental, which I only took on 211. Watopa level 3, gave the standard 2 bags of gold, Captain's Hat, and a Sword +2+2.

Around the same time, the opponent appeared with a serious army and twice as high stats, captured the central town and took my main. I found myself cut off from the center. I started building guilds in search of control. Built about 5 over the entire game, and right up to the last moment there was nothing with control anywhere. I also scrolled all scrolls and took all boxes on my map. We played in 3 sessions, and on the last day we ran for 12 hours. I had already eaten absolutely everything possible, and there was no other choice but to go to the center and fight.

I captured the central village, the opponent built up 4 levels in it, I put in a 5th and used Dimension Door. The turning point of the game. Immediately got wrecked by Crag Hack, learned it, got wrecked again, and flew into a treasure zone underground, through a blocking obstacle. There I took a couple of boxes — gave me Fly too.

And then unexpectedly, on his turn, the opponent boosted Tazar with 150 green Snakes near the central village. And in front of me stood a tea hero. I attacked the tea hero, bought back with Angels and Dragons, bought myself out in the village, and with the help of Fly and Dimension Door, trapped Tazar with Shackles. Tazar had all artifacts at that point.

Thanks for the game!
