The Lizard had one rest left and he played with a Citadel on a respawn the size of a Jebus one. I was dealt an underground respawn the size of 4 Dragon Utopias with one pile of gold, a Griffin Conservatory 2 with a gr stack and a box behind the Cavalry(5-9). I broke into both neighboring zones, but there were strong blocks on both sides. In one of the zones, I pulled 70 Zombies from a box, thanks to which I took the Griffin Conservatory at the start of the 2nd [week], then a box for the horses (25 Evil Eyes), and then things got rolling. Thanks to a sluggish start, I accumulated over an hour of timer, which came in very handy once I gained control of it. Thanks for the game!

The respawn itself was excellent for this template: a lvl 3 Griffin Conservatory, 2 Wolf external dwellings, 2 Goblin external dwellings, 1 Orc external dwelling. I took the Griffin Conservatory on d2 with very acceptable losses. On d4 in the treasure zone I got 12 Efreets from Pandora's Box. Then came a total scout in all possible directions. By the end of the second week, it became clear that the spawn for this template was a typical setup, because the first Dragon Fly Hive (with 4 Wyverns) was found and taken on d27. By d37 I had a whole 19 Wyverns, which is a nightmare even for MM6, let alone HoMM8. Also on d37, the first and only Dragon Utopia of the game was taken. Naturally, a mini. Naturally, with Boots of Levitation. Out of desperation, I had to take risks and try to take the Hives in the contact zone. But with full control, my opponent easily covered [them] on his turn. I watched the saves, Nitro played very solidly. Respect :). Thanks for the game!

p.s. Game duration: d37.
