"Mirrors"

Couldn't connect with Hota, so I had to play SoD.
It generated one mega-treasure zone, and whoever cleared it first would win.
Starting troops were scarce, but there was a decent amount of free gold. Near Castle - a mini-Griffin Conservatory, one road blocked by 20+ gr. harpies. The other immediately ran into a secondary guard - 20-49 flies or 20-49 rags.
On 112 I decide to hit the ghosts. And there are 40+ of them. Unexpected. Lost all my Tower-eating units and most of the goblins. Left with 17 wolves and 16 gobs, but I broke through to my native secondary.
Next turn, thanks to an external taurven, I took the town, which had a decent amount of gold. However, terrible problems with wood and ore began, which plagued me until the end of the game.
Then Tyraxor ran back to the Conservatory, while the troops fought for wood and stone.
On 115, through a bugged passage, I ended up on snow, where scouting revealed some more gold.
On 116, entering the Dwarf Cottage was postponed (20-30 - could have easily lost it), but the Behemoths still got summoned thanks to a trade on the external market. The Conservatory with Behemoths is taken almost without losses, the army heads to snow, where a sword +3 and a town are taken.
On 117, Tyraxor just stalled because he started for the stable too early. A shield +4 was captured. The Angel headed to the third secondary on grass. Build - Behemoths in the castle. Magic school - Air. Haste is available.
On 121, same as the opp, I grab the Pandora's Box for 10k XP with 10+ manticores near the stable. It gives Logistics, excellent. I go into a tiny treasure zone with another Pandora's Box. The Angel takes Ramp.
On 122, the Pandora is cleared but not taken. I break through a passage to the opp's plane, but it's snow and everything is bad.
123 - gives 5k XP, and I decide to clear the snow a bit. I steal a Pandora for 2nd level, visit the arena. Leveled up Earth Magic. Same turn, the army returns home, finishes the Dwarf Cottage (maxed).
124 - I break into Ramp, from where there is a fairly convenient exit to a treasure zone on lava. I immediately grab 8 Dragon Fly Hives. I upgraded 3 Behemoths, which really helped beat everything without losses and with consuming. In the treasure zone - a Dragon Utopia, another Dragon Fly Hive is visible.
125 - it turns out there isn't just one Dragon Fly Hive, but as many as 6. I took 4 so far, against 30 Wyverns, lost one. I visit the library. Astral on the Angel breaks into another treasure zone.
126 - I clean up both Dragon Fly Hives. Total - 49 Wyverns. And then the opp shows up. Tyraxor can't reach, so I attack with a weak Kalid (having first eaten an empty Pandora cleared by the opp (with Advanced Wisdom)). There - an Angel, 30 wolves, and 2 Behemoths. The Angel is killed by the Behemoths, the wolves by the hasted Wyverns. With two retreats, the opp buys himself out. I return the army to Tyraxor, grab the Dragon Utopia. Level 2, shield +4 on everything, and a bag of gold.
127 - obviously, I need to penetrate the same treasure zone via the opp's route. I break into my native secondary, upgrade birds there, run. Meanwhile, Astral runs through his treasure zone and emerges onto the opp's plane. Nothing interesting along the way except risky fights on the verge of losing.
131 - I bring full growth and stand before the portal to the super-treasure zone.
132 - the opp hasn't managed to clear everything here yet. I grab a Pandora behind manticores, it gives 10k XP, just enough to max out Wisdom. Then I take all of level 5. And an 8 Dragon Fly Hive falls to me as well. Astral finally reaches the village and sits down to replenish mana.
133 - the opp brings a secondary army (weekly growth from Barbarian) right into Astral's hands. A bolt for 175 leaves no chance, and the opp realizes he's been cornered from all sides. GG. Same turn, Gunnar with the main army would have been covered and would have been killed by mass-Haste, most likely in 1 round.
Thank you for the game.
Thanks for playing!
