The start wasn't bad; I got 6 elves from the hero in the tavern, stables next to the road, but the map was a bit poor in gold. Still, I managed the first week, captured my elf dwelling, and built a citadel + unicorns. Early in week 2, I decided to clear my area (2 dwarven treasures, a heavily guarded unicorn dwelling, 2 cons, a couple of power-ups). At 124, I took 5x20 cons and then maxi cons with decent losses (only centaurs, dendroids, dwarves, and 1 unicorn). I went to the center afterward because I hadn't seen the treasure entrance yet and didn't want to wander in the desert blindly. At 131, I got exp earth on Grindan and checked with view earth where the treasure is, then went right there with the main hero. The first artifact there was wings, then the library, a couple of hives, 2 topes. The second tope gave me a level 5 hat. I built a level 4 MG in the tower but no TP, and the 3rd tope in my respawn also didn't give anything useful. Meanwhile, I saw the opponent has both DD and TP, and I didn't see other good areas to go to, so I decided to rush his town, hoping he's unprepared. He was right there in town, so I had no choice but to attack.

The battle looked really hopeless, mostly because of low mana for me (2 DD used previously). In the first round, after mass wait, I shot wyverns with elves; he cast meteor on me, and I cast implo on his AAs. He came forward with his wyverns, and I managed to kill them with all I had in 2 rounds, meanwhile getting chain lightning / meteor in my face. Later, he cast antimagic on nagas but didn't come out with them, so I kept shooting them down. When there were only 10 left, I used single haste on wyverns and hit nagas. The opponent kept resurrecting AAs, and I used magic arrows on them (resu brought back 2 AAs, arrow killed 1). In the end of the battle, we both ran out of mana; I had 40 wyverns, 8 unicorns vs 5 AAs, 44 golems. Thanks to +2 speed, he couldn't force a draw and make me retreat, so I won with 20 wyverns and 5 unicorns remaining.
Interesting game, vs full control; if I waste another day, I absolutely lose the game. This rush was my only chance, and it worked.
