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

A very strong start with built-up air defenses, 3 Hives near the Castle, and sufficient resources. On day 112, I took my companion's Castle (Swamp); he built a Hive on day 111. I found a stash of Psionic creatures in the adjacent zone and took it with birds on day 117. At the beginning of the second week, I attack Hives with only birds; it turns out he has maxed them, so I had to lose 1 bird. Then, I take 2 more Hives, which are also large (8+12). In the adjacent zone, I take another Hive (mini) and move to the center. There, the Scout takes Pandora for the entire first week, another Hive (6). Meanwhile, Pasis finds a way to the opponent, a Cyclops, Pandora for 20 gold, Medusas, and a Prison with a Scout who takes a maxed Consultant. He also took a Dungeon village here and teleported the Psionic creatures. I move towards the opponent, take his Castle on day 131, thus leaving him without growth. The Scout from the Prison scouts out a Utopia behind the Consultant. I split my forces and take it on day 132: maxed with +6 to all stats, +4 to all stats, Knowledge of the Earth, and a Water Book. I break through to the second center from the opponent's side; the Scout is currently scouting my corner Treasury and finds 2 more Utopias there. Pasis in the center takes a single Utopia with another Water Book and teleports to the corner village. There, in 2 Utopias, there are useful creatures, +5 to all stats, and Titan Armor. At the same time, I took the opponent's Castle. On day 137, the opponent tries to retake the Castle; I attack him with a numerical and stat advantage. In the final battle, the opponent tried to play by summoning Earth Elementals (he had immunity to Blindness), but the Impaler dealt too much damage (3k). Thanks for the game.
