Grinya and Innochka arrived from the start. I earmarked the latter as a "mommy" (support), especially since she was given Log as her third skill. I broke through the passages to the center, to the computer, and to the village, then spread out across the roads, which turned out to be a mistake because there were skirmishes everywhere; I progressed slowly, using an auxiliary Hero to pick up butterflies. The presence of mages helped somewhat: Ciel, Grinya, and Luna arrived as the seventh hero at the end of the first week, who ultimately made the game for me. In the end, spreading out didn't pay dividends—there was almost no money on the roads. Toward the village, I eventually hit a wall of Cerberus. Due to the lack of funds, I could only build dwellings in the citadel. Out of desperation, I had to take the computer's citadel, which contained 6 golems; then Torgrim returned with 70 gremlins and 10+ gargoyles, and by the end of the first week, I only had 2 air elementals, 4 fire elementals, and a couple of butterflies left. It all looked like GG without an army, money, or prospects. In the second week, Luna—who spent 4 days visiting SP boosters and experience trees and gained Intelligence—began to pay dividends; I cleared the respawn and placed birds in the Castle. Luna took down a horde of swords for the bird dwellings, but of course, there was nothing to actually take them with; Ignes played the other flank. Moner arrived, and I decided to make him a "papa" (combat hero). Ignes killed 40 mage ogres for a chest and a stadium for Moner, but the same old one-level loser Moner remained, having visited 3 attacks, as the chest had money. In the third week, I took the bird dwellings, losing 1 to stupidity. A tree for 6 ducks; on the other flank, Inna takes a tree for 25 cyclops, also 6th, runs a bit further, finds and takes the max console. Near the computer's candle, there is also a console and part of the opponent's respawn; a home Dragon Utopia is visible there. I put chains in the center, where there are 2 Dragon Utopias and 2 Naga banks; the 3rd guild is built at home, money is needed to upgrade 6 psychics.
Then the opponent bursts into the center and, to my disappointment, takes both Naga banks and kills my loser who was rushed on a gargoyle and stable. At Kirri's place, 5-9 angels are glowing (the opp scares me saying there are 9), a pack of ducks, 5-9 horses, and a tray of grands. Combat stats there are 15, but Luna has 1 SP and 4 knowledge; her combat is 11, but she has 10 SP and 180 mana. She has Fireball for 150 and Bolt for 210. She can't reach Kirri; she was supposed to clash in the center Castle that the loser went to take. I move her away from a hypothetical strike to the snow respawn, transferring power there. A console—a double—is taken there.
The opponent, overconfident, apparently due to the lead in combat stats and the fact that I didn't even have psychics up in the first week, headed toward me and stopped at the portal on my respawn. From there, it's just a stone's throw to my capital. With a mage, I take down 6 grands there, leaving 35, and Luna attacks. Kirr: 5 angels, 9 horses, 11 ducks, 26 kents, 35 grands, 8 roots, pack of pegasi. Luna: 7 birds, 6 angels, 6 basic psychics, 9 ducks, pack of fire elementals, a few butterflies.
The opponent clearly didn't expect comparable power, and 180 mana with 10 SP against Kayri's 7 with 1 SP leaves him no chance.

Thanks for the game!

That's how it was. I went after the opp knowing that for 2 weeks he didn't even have psychics while I already had 5 angels at 125; I went for a clash and eventually paid the price. I should have gone to collect more objects and to the Dragon Utopia. Thanks for the game.
