Spent one restart and calmed down after seeing a Griffin Conservatory in front of the Castle and two Dragon Fly Hives under unpleasant guards on a secondary on 111. The castles of the nearest computer opponents are Necropolis for both me and my opponent. Also saw a decent amount of gold - decided it was playable. On the first week, I captured the computer opponent with Solmyr, while Shiva ran around upgrading stats and collecting treasure chests. I realized that breaking into the center would be problematic because a horde of elves is guarding it. The only options were to go into a corner or harvest the Dragon Fly Hives and Griffin Conservatories - I chose the latter.
Since the Griffin Conservatory on snow turned out to be max-level, the one on grass was near-max, and the Dragon Fly Hives were under Snipers. I had to keep running Shiva around on stat upgrades and leveling Earth magic because there were no meaty guards, while using Solmyr to trim the Griffins in the Conservatory. Found a Ring of -1 Morale, Ribs, and a Ring of +1/+1 Morale/Luck - that was all the artifacts. The Dragon Fly Hives could only be taken by 125. I took the first Dragon Fly Hive, aimed for the second, and then the opponent runs out of the portal under the elves and positions himself opposite the Griffin Conservatory on the grass. I could only run to the corner; the opponent's army was clearly better, but his stats were not impressive at all. I decided that running to the corner and leaving him the Griffin Conservatory and the main was a loss, so I grabbed the Dragon Fly Hive and the Griffin Conservatory right under his nose and attacked. To my surprise, the opponent came to me without a spellbook. Well then, GG.
