Дегустация Horn of the Abyss

I started well, didn't get greedy like in the last games, skipped tactics and defense, and quickly experted Earth and Archery. I saw 3 Zealots and took the Griffin Conservatory with Mass Slow at the start of second week. At the Castle town's respawn, I grabbed the Boots. I was ahead of Kobra in army size, and he took a risk by picking pink Conflux and left himself open to Jeremy on a speed roll in the middle of second week. I changed plans, hired from an external tavern — knocked his Gloves off, but couldn't reach the town with the army (73 movement points on medium roads diagonally wasn't enough), I misplayed that turn and could have finished him if I moved correctly. But I gave him a chance; Kobra ran away with the treasury, 2 days of chasing, and Cassiopeia, after picking up Gladius, accepted battle. I also made a mistake in the fight by not killing the cannon with Sea Wolves and took a big hit with 22 attack, then made another mistake and let Kobra retreat with 1 Cyclops. Chasing further was pointless, so I decided to take 2 out of 3 Angel stashes in the treasure zone and place the Angels in the computer's Castle. Kobra was left with 1 village and surrendered after 2 turns.
Thanks for the game.
