A very long game, both in game time and real time.
I don't remember what happened with the restarts anymore, but I played a surrender with a stable and boots on the respawn. + there were a couple of Dwarf Cottages and 5 heroes on 111. There was no more money on the respawn, and the Dwarf Cottages were all large.
In the end, on 117 I took an external dwelling of birds and built it and a Citadel. Though the timer was at 0 — I didn't even have time to buy the birds. One adjacent zone through markers (Tower), and the second Rampart through no-road.
On 121 I beat a club +5 and went into the snows. There were 2 boxes for meat and a Dragon Utopia deep in the snows. Nothing to do — went into a treasure zone in the underground. There was a Dragon Fly Hive with 4 ducks and a KZ behind 19 ghouls. I didn't have Slow at that point — beating them was not an option. The opponent meanwhile is collecting cans and takes the Rampart. Nothing to do — I run through the snow into a treasure zone on rocks. There were 30 ducks from 4 hives + a box of wolves + 2 boxes of money. I build a Town Portal in the Tower, but Crag doesn't have Wisdom. Again I realize I'm falling behind. Nothing to do — I dive into the Dragon Utopia. There they give a Hat 4-4, a Shield 3-3, and Sandals. No control. I take the KZ. Implosion deals 1350 damage. I realize there's nothing more to skill up on the map, so I go on the attack. On the second turn after the KZ, I take the Castle on the opponent's adjacent zone, and the next day I run to his main, where he brought all his power.
In the final, Crag 22-12 with 90 mana vs Clavius 12-12 with 56 mana.
I have 33 ducks + 65 dogs + 10 ogres + 20 birds. And a few singles of birds.
The opponent has 650 skeletons + 12 necro horses + 7 angels + 20 mages + 20 liches. In the end, through a wait on the angels, an Implosion flies in for 6 pieces. In response, an Implosion on 9 ducks. Then a Mirror Image on the skeletons and a Meteor from me. Turn 3 Implosion on the horses.
In the end, I misplayed a little with the timing of the breakthrough. They killed the birds that I was supposed to use to clear the retaliation from the skeletons. I resurrect the ducks and crash into the skeletons. The ducks carried.
A GG from the opponent follows.
Thanks for the game.

Billy Bones is away. Can't come to an agreement with Kost.
I confirm. A long and interesting game. A ton of mini objects. Koses. 3 mini, 2 pre-mini. Dragon Fly Hives: 3 mini, 1 pre-mini. Dragon Utopias: mini, pre-mini. Not clear who to make the main — Tamika or Clavius. I built the Mage Guild in Rampart so it would take the opponent longer to run to it. Town Portal and Citadel. Only Clavius has Wisdom. Tamika, however, has expert Earth and Air, but has neither Tactics nor Defense. In the end, the opponent caught me when the army was far away in the snows. I dump the army onto Clavius, take the Dragon Utopia, there they give a Hat for the whole level 5 and a Red Orb, I reach for the ducks and nagas and realize there won't be enough movement points for TP to town if I Space Portal. I skip the meat. I Portal the bones, angels, and horses, and pull up the quest archmages. I break through the cyclops pen, stick a level 5 in the Mage Guild to use Implosion. I had a choice to use the Red Orb or the level 5 Hat. I hope they didn't give Implosion in the Tower. But there was a KZ. Honestly, if not for the Resurrect at the end, maybe I could have pulled through on a sliver, then finished off with handcuffs and ducks, but after losing all the artifacts there was no point in dragging it out. It was a good game. Thanks. Good luck going forward.
