An interesting game turned out. We spawned everything we could, and in the end it came down to a lucky break. In the first and only chest, I caught a stroke of that very luck, so in the end I had no money. Then it got worse — no heroes, no money. A half-empty respawn, directions were blocked, but you could break through a couple, though it hurt. So there was nothing to do in the first week, but then Gunnar arrived. He runs fast — so he just ran back and forth. Unlike the terrible start, Gunnya leveled up like a god (expert Logistics, right after that Earth Magic, Offense, Defense). In the end, by the end of the first week, I managed to get horses into the fort. 121 — quite a few Zealots and Dragon Fly Hives were scouted, but all of them were heavily guarded, and I was riding around on a fancy Gunnar with 4 horses and 30+ (but very proud) Marksmen, looking for something to start with. I despaired, seeing that my opponent was doing pretty well. I decided to take a risk. 123-125 was rags to riches. 30 Marksmen were lost, but turned into 22 Swans and 22 Cyclopes. I broke into a Dragon Utopia at the start of 126 — trash and Crystal Sword, nothing special. Already 30 Swans, 40 Cyclopes. Then I started to pick up the pace like clockwork. Starting from 131, a game of cat and mouse began with my opponent — sometimes I'd chase him, sometimes he'd chase me. In the end, at 144, I caught him, standing strategically by the portal and clearly about to head for my main (only Ivor's head was poking out, but from the arrogant pose I guessed it was him and caught him. GG. Thanks for the game, it was fun.)
