"only XL-2"

The start was very pleasant: stables along the road, a respawn Dragon Utopia, a Griffin Conservatory, and an external dwelling of angels for 20-49 Grand Liches (captured in week 2). On day 114 I hired a devil in Refugio, and things got much better. On day 116 I killed a neighboring opponent - Conflux. However, in week 2 everything turned out to be much worse: the Griffin Conservatory was a mini, all 3 scouted Hive dwellings were also mini. The guards of the Hives and treasure zones were wild, so by the end of the week my army was: 2 angels, 8 Wyverns, a devil. On day 126 I built a 4th level mage guild in Conflux - Town Portal! I set up in the capital to regenerate mana (plus collect the external dwelling of angels). Then Kyrre appears - right next to the teleport, from which she needs at most half a turn to reach me. Her stats are roughly on par with mine (something like 9-8-4-4), but she has a full buyout from 2 castles: Grands, Unicorns, 10-19 Rocs, Orcs... It seems I'm about to be attacked. However, the opponent did not take the risk and turned back. Afterwards I escaped into the treasure zones and fattened up. It was scary when, in week 4, I had 13 angels and 30+ Wyverns, and higher stats, but the army strength, according to the tavern, was weaker. On day 147 I finally upgraded 11 out of 12 angels (1 angel remained with the noob), and sat down to defend the capital, to prevent the opponent from having access to Archangels. On his turn, he attacked rather unexpectedly.

The opponent decided to slam an implosion into the Archangels, but my resurrect (taught by specially leveled Alamar) was clearly more serious. In the second round I killed the Silvers and Grands. Another implosion into the Archangels and all stacks - 6 Archangels remained. Resurrect - again 11 - return behind the wall, GG.

I must say, the opponent turned out to be significantly stronger than I expected. Respect! Thanks for the game!
