"Newcomer-2014. Summer"

It spawned a very hefty number of Hives. 51 utopias in the final zone.
A poor start, built pegasi in the main just to take the Hive via the oil.
Leveled Luna, found Armageddon. Opponent is Inferno, has Efreet Sultans.
Also leveled Kyrre and Necro Septienna.
In weeks 4-5 the Mage Guild gave Town Portal and Fly.
Before the final zone I checked the red orb, attacked with Kyrre and Boots of Speed.
Slightly higher stats and a bit more troops. Was enough for victory.
Thank you.

I confirm. First time I saw such a central adjacent zone on an 8-player map, at first I didn't figure out how to reach the center and ended up doing a lot of things wrong.
My respawn was comparable to respawns on Jebus Cross, with an external dwelling of birds and cyclopes, a Dragon Utopia (2), and three Griffin Conservatories (3). One road to the portal led to an adjacent zone in the swamp, where after a short road there was a guard for 10-19 Medusa Queens. In the first week I mistakenly thought this was the passage to a corner treasure zone, and started looking for a passage to the adjacent zone through roadless terrain and found an exit to the lava on day 117. Through this adjacent zone I reached my opponent's respawn (Castle) and there too was a road to the swamp with a guard into another zone, and as it turned out, through the swamp via two unconnected roads there was an exit to the center into one central treasure zone, while into the second there was a portal in the middle of the swamp adjacent zone.
In the middle of the second zone I took the opponent's town and on his respawn an external dwelling of Angels, collected three Griffin Conservatories for 9 Angels, re-split in the main and took the home Dragon Utopia with the red orb and Sandals of the Saint.
I appeared in the center very late and additionally had no Air Magic view, near the village in the center I defended the maximum Hive and Griffin Conservatory and on the next turn the opponent decided to go for the final battle.
Besides the advantage in treasury, the decisive factors were him having Tactics (I didn't) and having a +1 Speed artifact, although I also had one, but his slow stacks of Skeletons and Demons benefited from it to a greater extent. The opponent set up well; in the second round I needed to avoid losing retaliation from the Angels, but the birds couldn't hold (I could have blocked the passage with Cyclopes, but then the Demons could have taken the retaliation). Good fight, GG. Thank you for the game.
