"The Newbie-2015. Winter" tournament.

A huge respawn, by day 117 I had scouted 6 scattered Dragon Fly Hives and 2 external dwellings of Berserkers, the secondary skill was Swamp. Before moving out on day 123, I took 5 Dragon Fly Hives and partially upgraded (21) in the secondary skill, and had 12 regular ones; naturally, I didn't have enough for the Birds, only the Berserkers. In the center, I immediately took the Chalice and the Wings, and on day 125 I attacked Tazar in the central town. The stats were equal, only Attack was 10 higher for Crag Hack, but there were 100+ mana there, while I had 12. However, I had Mass Haste and Mass Slow, along with Tactics. The armies were roughly equal. I planned to break in and dismantle him. The unexpected factor was the Cape of Velocity (+2 Speed). In short, Tazar handled it; with 15 ducks left, Crag Hack surrendered. The opponent had Shackles of War, but he didn't wear them. After that, I started fattening up on the neighboring respawn, also scouted 3 external dwellings of Birds, so I was in no hurry. I assembled the Alliance, as did the opponent, by the way. On day 212, I thought about starting to act aggressively with the growth, but it was a Plague Month, so I had to postpone... On day 217, the surrender followed.

Thanks for the game!
