I got a medium starting army, immediately a road fork, but one direction was blocked. Along the second direction I spotted an external dwelling of Eyes, also not far I noticed an external dwelling of Minotaurs behind pleasant guardians - boars. The bad part - almost no money for respawn.
On week 1 I managed to place Minotaurs in the Stronghold and portal in more Minotaurs, got a good stack. Also captured a Necromancer's camp - there was a long road to it, along which I noticed a 2nd tier Griffin Conservatory, a Dragon Fly Hive. Opened the second direction, sent scouts there.
On week 2 I captured the tier-2 Griffin Conservatory with 16 Minotaurs and ~25 Eyes. Things got easier from there - I also captured 2 more Dragon Fly Hives nearby and found another tier-1 Griffin Conservatory. By the end of the week I captured the home Griffin Conservatory - tier 3. The week ended with me spotting an enemy in one of the centers, who had captured a village in the center and was using Town Portal. I decided it was КЗ. Decided to drive the enemy out of the center. Succeeded, but there was nothing in the center, so I got scared to push further, though I should have, and went home to the home corner treasure zone. Thus, I wasted 3 days running to the center and back, gaining nothing. Apparently the main mistake in the game. Post-game analysis showed that I had no passage to the second center at all, which also affected the game.
On week 3 I started clearing the corner treasure zone - found more Dragon Fly Hives, Griffin Conservatories, Boots, and spotted 2 Dragon Utopias - in one I found +5 All, in the other КВ. Caught up with the enemy in stats.
On week 4 the enemy came to push me with noticeably higher stats. The enemy's army seemed comparable to mine. I decided to use air control to try my luck searching for Dragon Utopias/stats somewhere farther from the enemy. Gave up the main, but managed to find more Hives and a Dragon Utopia - boosted stats a bit, found КШ. On day 146 I decided to attack the enemy with control, confident that somewhere a huge stack of skeletons was building up, and the map was being cleared on two fronts, and it would only get worse. Perhaps I should have simply retaken the main and kept searching for luck with control, if the enemy hadn't attacked. The final battle ultimately went in the enemy's favor. I equipped КШ on the Fire Bird, because I was confident the enemy had КЗ and the Imp would hit hard. I planned to overcome the enemy's higher stats with a larger stack of Ducks and +2 to speed. Unfortunately, it didn't work out.
Thanks for the game.
