Poor main with useless artifacts, two roads, one to ГО, the second to the barbarian zone. The third exit is three turns away from the castle on snakes. The path to the Citadel is also long and doubly disappointing: all the zone's goodies are blocked by 50-99 mages. To clarify the situation: they were standing exactly half a map away from the main.

I had to go back (without splitting, halfway there was a strategic bank) and to another secondary, into the snowdrifts: a blue scout appeared there and there was a chance to make contact, preventing the opponent from reaching the late game, since I had already lost tempo. But the entrance to the underground treasure zone was closer.

80 lizards and 8 Wyverns - my entire army (lizards from an external dwelling + Legion's Foot) - stormed into the underground treasure zone, but I had to retreat empty-handed: the guard was unusually strong. I had to take the home naga-bank-twenty, nothing else worthwhile was left.
134
And now I'm in the treasure zone again. If I clear it like a boss, there's hope for a win through mass Wyverns. But no, the opponent showed up there one turn after me and closer to the wyverns - 5 of them, my hope.

I was one turn short of even bringing the reinforcements. This is ГГ. Annoying.
Thanks for the game!
It was. The layout turned out normal. Took Griffin Conservatory number one, two secondaries quickly, but didn't see a good external dwelling anywhere. By 117 I went far into the corner of the spawn, a red external dwelling, but I ignored them since I took the third necro secondary and painted the bone external dwelling there. At home, 1-6 in the Citadel + a portal with bones.
In the second week I cleared a convenient treasure zone, there were two hives with 10 ducks, and scouted another treasure zone, a bit inconvenient though. A max Griffin Conservatory was revealed on the snow. At the end of the second week I broke through with a chain into another treasure zone where I painted two more bone external dwellings.
In the third week, due to a lack of money and the inconvenient location of the second treasure zone, tempo dropped. But I took a couple of boxes there and found a small breeding ground of hives. The guards were all fierce though. In the end I gathered a normal army and by 137 I was standing near a pack of reds. The next day a scout hero scouts Shakti and then the surrender.
Thanks for the game!!!
