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

We chose all the rest, and in the end the generation was a bit crooked, but overall it's tolerable.

One road. Underground and 2 sandy treasure zones, one of which I only entered towards the end of the game. There's a Griffin Conservatory and a Fury.
On the first turn, from interesting things, I scouted 2 Griffin Conservatories and a Dragon Fly Hive; the birds spawned and gave a box of 50 Griffins, although I would have liked to see experience there.
The Griffin Conservatory levels Earth and takes the first Conservatory on 122. The second and the Dragon Fly Hive are taken in sequence.

123 is a key moment; for 60 griffins, the vassals give the Griffin Conservatory the entire 4th, and the blue cap is scouted for 5-9 day journey. Town Portal, Armageddon, Resurrection help to quickly grab the cap. And on 126, via a scout hero, I break into the opponent's treasure zone, where a teapot with over 100 Earth Elementals and a Dragon Utopia were spotted from the scout's view.

127 — we take the teapot, scouting towards the opponent's main.
132 — we grabbed +4 All Stats at our place, and were 1 cell short of reaching Stinger's main. But I snatched a couple of villages. Meanwhile, the Griffin Conservatory's stats also grew, and the fighting stats became comparable to ours. And there was more gold too. The Dragon Utopia had to be taken somehow.
133 — I take the Dragon Utopia in Stinger's treasure zone, which absolutely couldn't be left. Level 3, it was taken with 6 Phoenixes using Resurrection and Implosion. It gave generously — +5 All Stats, and the items КЗ and КВ.
I sent a scout hero into the sands. There was +3 All Stats.
I found Crag Hack in the tavern and decided to level him on the boxes. Because in terms of meat, 7 Phoenixes, 4 Angels, and about a dozen Wyverns didn't inspire much confidence. Even though stats and magic were all good, I wanted to see a decent warrior too.

Until 136, scouting in all directions and grabbing villages. I saw 2/3 of the map and tried to figure out where Stinger was running. Earlier, I had a hero with Expert Air Scouting, but I managed to lose him in a scout battle.

In the end, Stinger surrenders after the 3rd Dragon Utopia, where nothing control-related and nothing for antimagic was dropped.

It was a tough game, personally for me, poor in meat, and which was carried by magic.

Thanks for the game!
