We played without pauses, I had a stash of Grand creatures, I went to get the Swamp creature, then headed to the Treasury, and that's where the problems started.
A long journey to the Treasury, no money, a drawn-out Treasury phase, constant setbacks, losses, nothing but ducks.
In the end, I only took the first Utopia on day 131 – and there was the Book of Earth!!.
Then I went to attack the center, there were 2 Utopias – the Book of Air, slightly boosted stats, I saw Maretti had insane stats – I started flying around, consuming my Treasury resources, in 1.5 weeks I gathered 130 ducks. I took the Consul 3, upgraded the Angels at Maretti's castle for the first turn, Maretti ran towards my town, and in the last seconds of the timer, without equipping magic artifacts, I attacked.
The only thing that came to mind to avoid dying in one round was to cast Antimagic on the ducks, and in the second round, Armageddon.
Everything died on our side except the ducks, Maretti cast Bless on the ducks – but didn't finish off 2 of them. I couldn't believe my eyes, the ducks, alone, without Antimagic, what?!
Blindness on the ducks, I reduced their armor to 4 :D, waited for the Antimagic to wear off on the ducks, then resurrected my ducks and killed the enemy ducks with one blow.
But the post-battle analysis showed that there was no magic there, although I couldn't have imagined it, so the battle would have been won simply by summoning Earth Elementals.
In short, I got lucky :)
Thanks for the game!
I confirm. In 6 Utopias, I didn't find a book, a red orb, or Recanters. Still, I should have won, but I made some mistakes. Thanks for playing.
