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

In the first, I took all the comps. Scouted a level 1 Griffin Conservatory in the swamp, a Dragon Fly Hive, and another Citadel at the respawn. Luckily found boots in a skeleton. Vokial showed up, there were convenient stables and a well near the main. On day 117, I took a Griffin Conservatory near the Citadel under Castle, which was again mini. The comp, the pest, cut down 2 of my heroes when I already had little gold, so I had to forget about the birds on the first.
Day 121: mini Dragon Fly Hive, stable. Day 122: we break into the first treasure zone, because 2 Dragon Fly Hives are revealed from the scouting overlook. Found another couple of Griffin Conservatories and a box for fire spells. Though I never actually used it, since the birds only came online on day 127.
Day 125: second treasure zone. Several Dragon Fly Hives, on day 131 also a mini Dragon Utopia with a teapot there. On day 133: a home Dragon Utopia with a +4 all stats shield, and a book of fire magic. Also GM5 with Flight. Just in time, I found a Town Portal scroll.

With this setup, after looking at the earth scrying and seeing that the opponent had only taken one comp, and there was a long road to a huge treasure zone, I realized the opponent was hanging out there. So with Flight, after upgrading the ducks, I broke into it, hoping to snatch something from under his nose, possibly take a village and conduct reconnaissance. Among the useful items, I found a box for all level 5 spells. With 20+ stats, I wasn't afraid of an encounter. I didn't have air scrying, so I oriented myself by earth scrying. The village was surrounded by mountains, so theoretically I could remain unnoticed. On day 136, I reached the village, released scouts, and saw everything had already been taken. But after assessing the situation, the opponent decided not to continue.

I had 65 Monks, 5 Angels, and 450 Skeletons, 300 mana (Intelligence did its job). Marat's mains were still in that same treasure zone, almost out of mana and with a smaller army.

Thanks for the game!
