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

Normal surrender, 2 external dragon dwellings, 3 Dragon Fly Hives, +3 to speed on respawn. Came out on 123, right next to the exit - a КЗ with 50 efreeti. That was the end of the goodies (seriously, I haven't seen such a poor center in a very long time), had to push into neighboring respawns. Opponent came out on the third week, but with 12 black dragons. Meanwhile, the swamp respawn where Kirr ran to was also unappealing: one Dragon Fly Hive and one bogus Dragon Utopia. Had to return home and take a triple Dragon Utopia - again without stats, but with air control. Seeing that the opponent had no control, at the end of the third week I rushed to kill the growth on his main; not without a bit of luck, I got +3 blacks (and killed the same number for the opponent). The entire fourth week I was busy building gold mines at home - with external dwellings I gathered the same 12 pieces. Finally, a noticeable army advantage emerged; stalling further was dangerous, so I went on the attack on the opponent's main, where I caught him on 147.
Thank you for the interesting game.
