Favorites, to battle! - 8 - The Battle of Favorites! - 8

On the first week, horses in the Citadel, there are two Griffin Conservatories, but large ones. Sorcha levels up so-so, not much meat, entering the Conservatories on week 2 is sketchy... I decide to check available directions for now, killed the AI's Tower and checked the center, where I luckily found a Thieves' Guild - Shakti's strongest unit is the Manticore, so my horses and the angel from the single Conservatory are worth a bit :) I decide to make contact to grab the goodies in the center. The opponent avoided the fight, giving me the former AI's Citadel and a Conflux village. After picking up +3 angels at home, Sorcha moves to eat up the center thoroughly, there are also birds and gold for building angels there. In Tower, I built Mage Guild 4 - Town Portal and Slayer, urgently leveling Aina with Earth for re-learning. Another Conservatory in the center, and with 8 angels Sorcha takes a tier-3 Dragon Utopia, got junk. Aina with a Cuirass and 2 angels + overeating bolt the tier-3 Conservatory on respawn, only the angels survived :) Sorcha finds a few more Dragon Utopias, from the 3rd or 4th one gets Control. I buy Air in Conflux and move to another Dragon Utopia nearby, but then Shakti takes back the Barbarian Castle. I estimated the treasury, stats, and attacked with the Red Ball and Archangels + Shackles. The Archangels pulled it off, thanks for the game.
