Thank you for the game!

Well, I did everything I could, we made it to week 5 without contact, and the first contact was the FB. The first 3 weeks my opponent revealed 1 town, while I had 3 which was encouraging, Tazar's stats were always higher, Logistics, Estates, Scouting... in short, it was great. In Conflux — the town, I built a lookout tower, got Town Portal and Summon Air Elemental. However, the quick contact I was striving for wasn't possible, because everywhere there were one-way portals prevented it.
But then the power ratio got significantly worse for me: I found 2 Dragon Utopias, and both were minimal, in one a Book of Fire, in the other a Helm of the Alabaster 4 4. I built a mage guild with a library in Tower, got Summon Air Elemental and Summon Earth Elemental. Meanwhile, my opponent's stats started growing and already surpassed mine, revealed more gold and army (by week four)
I pushed through the pathless areas into the risky zone, since there was another town and a Dragon Utopia visible there, because there was nothing else to play for. That's where I got caught with mana and the week 4 growth.

Thank you for the game!
