So I lived without worries until week 1, day 2, month 7. Captured a village in the 2nd center, killed another Tower comp, scouted a couple of Dragon Utopias, found some stats and Boots. At the same time, I accumulated 50 demons.
And then sneaky Solmyr popped out with a couple of angels, a stack of 20+ mages, and native growth. He popped out and blocked the supply route through the portal when I was already standing at the first Dragon Utopia. Of course, I was really upset. But there was nothing to be done; I had to surrender all my towns and head to the corner treasure zone from the Tower comp, because without a supply line to the Dragon Utopia I wasn't ready.
While my heart was breaking from the pain of losing towns with growth for about 60 demons, Mary found a Griffin Conservatory in the treasure zone with 3 angels, a village, a prison, a Dragon Fly Hive with 8, trimmed some demons from the small fry (thankfully I had a ring for +HP) and stumbled upon a Dragon Utopia. I check it — level 3. I take the golems prepared in advance from Tower, clear the ducks, and get the KZ, +10 Attack, +10 Knowledge. I would call it a "Lord of Earth Utopia". By this time I had only 1 village left in the same treasure zone. So I replenished mana, grabbed another Mana Well, and rushed to comeback. Using the same principle, blocking portals to avoid maneuvers with splitting.
Ivor decides to attack with Shackles. There are 2 angels, 4 nagas, 30+ mages, 60+ gremlins, 5 basilisks, a handful of master genies, 320 mana, and +1 speed. I have just 3 angels, 50+ demons, and a handful of imps. In terms of battle stats, I'm significantly ahead; my spell power is also higher. In short, I killed him before the difference in mana amount made itself felt.
Thanks for the game!
