We played with rebuilding and two-way portals.
It started sadly at first: right on the road there was a 6k guard - orcs + pegasi, from the scouting point I see there's no point in breaking through there - it's even worse further on. So I spend the entire first week running off-road in the underground, never made it to the exit to the opponent, but I gathered a lot of resources and built a Naga in the Citadel.
On the second week I reached the opponent's Castle, where I found a Griffin Conservatory 2-4 and an external dwelling of Angels behind 50 99 Medusas with a Guardian Spirit. On day 125 I was thinking of taking the Griffin Conservatory and then the external dwelling, but suddenly I was offered either an experience ground or a Log, so I postponed the Griffin Conservatory until day 131.
On day 131 I buy creatures, start with the stables, Griffin Conservatory, Angel external dwelling, a couple of beehives in other zones, there's an inconvenient Dragon Utopia, I decide to run along the roads, no exits to treasure zones anywhere. After that there were more Griffin Conservatories, by day 135 I finally built the Mage Guild + Library (no point earlier since the Pope wasn't wise), completely messed up there, on day 136 I broke a Dragon Utopia unit with 12 shield, rebuilt the 5th floor - see screenshot 2 :).
By this time I was already far behind, because the opponent was spamming Dimension Door a couple days earlier and had stats around 20, but wasn't in a hurry to take castles. I chose the right treasure zone, jumped there with Dimension Door after double mana, took a total of three Dragon Utopias, which gave Shackles, КЗ, Hat 5, Sword 5, Red Ball, picked up Griffin Conservatories, beehives. On day 144 the opponent makes a mistake by not reaching the castle with 400 movement points and I finish him with Shackles and a ball with a lot of meat, though even when he got Archangels there was no Town Portal there, 9 Archangels vs 19 Angels.
Thanks for the game.
