Favorites, to battle! - 7 - The Battle of Favorites! - 7

Group B.
There was a choice of Jebus Cross or mininosta, but since in the last tournament I burned out because of mini, I decided to go the other way and chose it. On the respawn: Griffin Conservatory and an external dwelling of elves. On the first week I killed all the computer players, then I went into the treasure zone of the necro computer. It turned out to be native, didn't really manage to power up. ГО in the metro through Sandars, I realize that Shakti will clearly get to the center earlier and I decide to go into the treasure zone of the swamp computer. Powered up Wyverns, ate Dragon Utopia, from the useful stuff I got the missing parameters and КЗ. КВ was cleared behind neutrals. Then Shakti showed up and the wars began, cut down Kirrja's mob of noobs. Then Shakti built Archangels, before that he revealed an Elixir and sat in the only Castle on the map. In the Castle I definitely wouldn't have won, so I tried to use Kirrja's almost 5k MP to the maximum. In the end I took a risk and got set up on a split in the main with Army of the Dead and Elixir. By power: 136 Monks, 60 Grands, 5 Angels and chaff. Shakti has a Red Orb, also Elixir, 60 Wyverns, 23 Archangels, 23 Cats and chaff. There was no Black Orb and the Cats resisted Oil, luckily the Archangels only resisted Weakness. Also in the first round the Archangels didn't move because of -1 Morale. I planned to gradually cut down the power with Wait, but the surrender followed.
Thanks for the game!

Not a bad layout came with a cat external dwelling. Scouted Griffin Conservatories, killed 2 computer players. In the beginning I cleared one treasure zone, and went with the main hero to a second one for a Dragon Utopia with 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and there was also a 4th Griffin Conservatory found. Took the Dragon Utopia at the end of week 2 for parameters. On week 3 day 2 another one with a Helm of the Alchemist and everything seemed fine, but no КЗ. I decided to go to the center and to the opponent, rather than go to my own treasure zone. Killed 2 Dragon Utopias, still no КЗ, and so on until the end of the game. Then I took the opponent's town, and wanted to go meet him hoping that he didn't have full control. But it was the opposite. We fought for a long time, in the end I got set up on the attack, as there was no other option. I thought I would remove the retaliation with Archangels and crash a stack of 23 Archangels into 130+ Ducks, and then his Army of the Dead and everyone forward slowly, but after the attack on the first turn the Army of the Dead casts flew, then the turrets shot and the opponent moved. THIS story surprised me. The resistance on the Archangels didn't work, Dismoral with my Morale made me rage quit. I was sure until the very end that the Archangels would go first. I asked experienced players about whether it's a bug or not, opinions were divided. I tested the game, it turns out that where there are towers, even a Citadel triggers Army of the Dead, where there are none - a Fort, the Archangels go first. It's a shame because the Archangels cut 45+ Ducks on the charge. But, in this fight anyway, the stack of Archangels without Army of the Dead wouldn't have hit, because Dismoral triggered.
Thanks for the game.
