"only XL-2"

The restarts are over, my opponent got a native town, I'll have to play against a double build. The hero selection is small—only mages and Lacus, whom I made main. On the 1st turn, stables on the way, gathered a lot of resources and gold thanks to several crypts and free stuff. Killed the Stronghold computer and placed +2000 there. With Lacus, I experted Tactics and Logistics. On day 117, ate a Pandora's Box with all level 1 skills, crashed into a Castle. Also have Eanin as a radar with Advanced Air Magic and scouting through a Scholar. An external dwelling of Swordsmen. On day 121, I start from a Dragon Fly Hive +6, take 2 trees near the Castle for a level up. Nothing worthwhile was offered; I experted Wisdom and took Ballistics instead of Learning. Then a Pandora's Box with 40 Minotaurs for 25 Swordsmen. Upgraded them and got a good stack of 50 Cavaliers, Shield +5, another Dragon Fly Hive +6, 2 Griffin Conservatories of tier 1, a couple of Medusa Hives, and a Naga Bank. Enough gold, planning to go for Angels by the end of week 2. On day 125, I build Angels. Lacus is still leveling terribly—experted Catapult and Water Magic. I break through a portal and take another Griffin Conservatory tier 2 on the shared zone with the opponent's Necropolis village. With the radar, I scout red markers a bit below Necropolis. On day 126, I scout with Eanin and discover Crag Hack on a ramp with 2 Stormbirds, and nearby all his might. Lacus on the ramp with Expert Logistics + stables only reaches Crag Hack. I attack and kill the birds with Angels—Crag Hack. The opponent doesn't surrender and continues playing without GG. There's a stack of ducks around 40, wolves 80, and hobgoblins 100. Next week, skirmishes. I snatch one Citadel, leaving the opponent with one town. On day 127, I free from prison behind Snipers on the adjacent zone of blue—Charna, level 10 with Expert Armorer, Wisdom, Tactics, and Necromancy. I send her against the opponent and open a second front. Since on week 3 gold is at zero and there's no growth to buy, I decide to play it safe. On week 3, skirmishes continue—Lacus fights the blues while Charna goes to level up and necromance with an Angel. By the end of the week, I managed to gather 250 Skeletons + recaptured a Dungeon village, Library + Sword +2+2, Dragon Fly Hive +6. More gold. Xyron with an Angel on day 137 took another Stronghold computer. With Charna, I start from the main with a plan to take 2 Dragon Utopias. On day 141, I build 4 Mage Guilds in Stronghold; they give Town Portal. I crash Charna there, Lacus transfers half of the army. I take Dragon Utopia tier 2—Boots of Speed. In the 5th Mage Guild, Dimension Door. I take the second Dragon Utopia, max: Shield +4 all, Necklace +3 all, Cap of Fortune, Sword +12. I make Archangels, buy up growth. Labet through Town Portal and Dimension Door from the second Rampart retakes the main Citadel, and next turn Charna neatly covers Crag Hack, who was dug up by the blues. In the final battle: 30-15-17-15, double mana, 9 Archangels, 30 ducks, 70 Cavaliers, 80 Archers, 15 Fanatics, 12 Horses, 250 Skeletons vs. 16-11-4-3, 40 ducks, 2 Angels, 15 Birds, 200 Hobgoblins, 100 Dogs, 30 Orcs. Trade Implosion on 1500 on ducks for Mass Haste. Crag Hack charges with everything except hobgoblins, taking out a couple of Archangels, half the Archers, and Fanatics. He loses all, and next round Implosion finishes the remaining 200 hobgoblins. GG.
Thanks for the game!
