Was afraid to clash with haste. Dammit...
Thanks for the game...
On 111 I saw 4 manticore external dwellings - easy start, despite Lorelei in the tavern. The roads are good - 3 directions immediately. The road to ГО turned out to be blocked, but it's clear that ГО is close somewhere. However, scouting up until 113 couldn't find any other objects. Carefully collected the manticores and teleported away. Saw a +3 +3 shield behind 20+ monks nearby and boots far away. There were no objects - went to hit the boots. Found an external dwelling of dragons there as well. Also saw 2 Dragon Utopia at home. Around 116 I saw a spawn somewhere in the corner with a +5 all sword and 3-4 consu. Because everything was far apart, by 124 I left the spawn with 2 dragons, 3 angels, 26 scorpions and some small fodder; Shakti had attack, defense, tactics, air, but no earth - broke through 14 CD. Immediately upon exiting, I saw the opponent - Kreg. There was nowhere to go in the center - the only passage is blocked by 20+ gr. bone dragons. Decided to attack Kreg, as it wasn't clear what else to do. In battle, I realized the opponent's strength and stats were higher, and he had earth - he cast mass shield. With mass haste, I harassed his army a bit - minus 3 vivs, minus 3 angels, and bought my way out without losses, thanks to finding a chest with 15k gold earlier. Decided to go take the home Dragon Utopia - the first turned out to be a 2-stack, took it with losses but got stats. The second Dragon Utopia was maxed. Somehow waited for growth, hoping the opponent wouldn't move, and having received 44 scorpicores, easily took the Dragon Utopia - got КВ. Stats were already higher than the opponent's, plus I had control - decided to go to the center using flight to bypass the gr. bone dragons and thus easily collect the center, cutting myself off from the enemy. The plan worked; managed to collect for 1 day - took two hives and saw 2 Dragon Utopia, a couple more hives and, importantly, КВ on earth. The opponent broke through the bone ones. I didn't reach the КВ so as not to give it to the opponent, therefore decided to accept battle. The finale turned out in my favor; however, if the opponent had clashed first with mass haste instead of me, the result might have changed. Thanks for the game.
