"Mirrors"

The situation was quite nasty: not the most pleasant guards, not a single decent perk for the vampires, nothing solid to tempo from. The presence of Tamika, an external dwelling of skeletons, and haste was pleasing.

On the first [day/week], I scouted almost fully 2 secondary towns, including my own, looked into 2 crappy treasure zones, both with a block practically at the entrance. I planned to place vampires in the castle and vampires in the secondary town, but somehow nothing interesting for the vampires was found on 3 respawns and 2 treasures, so I placed cavalry in the castle without buyback.

On day 121, out of desperation, I went to scout the 3rd respawn, got carried away running along long roads, got completely stuck. Only on day 126 did I finally go after the treasure zones, but then immediately into 2 of them. Finally found some first objects. A couple of small Dragon Fly Hives and mini-zeffirs. Well, any port in a storm, as they say.

On day 133, a very funny blunder happens. I cleared one of the treasure zones on both planes, but didn't take the scroll blocking the passage to the opponent — like, so the noobs wouldn't start running to me. The calculator showed that the probability of control there was low, most likely 5th level.

On day 134, the opponent runs into this treasure zone, takes the scroll... And flies off somewhere with a jump :mad:. Well damn, forget your scrolls, I'm aiming for the Dragon Utopia here. As a result, on day 135 I still took the Dragon Utopia first (gave a bit of stats), and only on day 136 did I finally break through for the scroll on my own plane. But I feel extremely stupid)). To blunder the control advantage like that (I could have taken this scroll on day 121 if I wanted to).

But regardless, I took the scroll, gradually wrested all the castles from the opponent, had an advantage in army, stats, and map. On day 143 I finally caught Isra and after a [chai?] for 800 the opponent surrenders.

Thanks for the game
