One for all and all for one 4

We finally finished the game that had been on save for 4 months. About the game:

Half of the respawn is in blocks, strong dwelling guards: a stack of snipers behind minotaur guards and a pack of cats behind cat guards, since there are also resources and scrolls there... There is a Dragon Utopia on the way to the GO and the Hive. I dug up Clavius and sat on him. From the second half of the first week, I've been actively collecting Hives. Clavius is slowly necromancing. I finally found a minotaur dwelling that I could break into, and I portal'd it. Half of the respawn is played. Constantly tight on money. In short, on day 122, having gathered 40+ ducks, I exit through a Dragon Utopia — a level 2 one, where they sympathetically give КЗ and a red orb (Clavius happens to have Earth magic). In the utopia, a hundred or so unfriendly skeletons and 150 troglodytes died (thanks to Shakhti on the second week in the tavern, since I finished the first week without trogs). The lack of Logistics on Clavius was frustrating...
All this time, the opponent shows absolutely nothing, and I assume that since half is played and there are respawns, there will be angels and archangels there too, but apparently, he's preparing a late exit on archers. Especially since there was such a case in another game on Jebus Cross for Castle from my opponent. So, slipping a bit into the sand and killing a pack of hydras there for a box and a shield of 3 3 (and I have no stats for parameters), I leave this for the lich and advance along the road. Clavius: minotaurs — king, 47 ducks, 10 Evil Eyes, a couple of Harpy Greys, and small fry for devouring.
Then, on day 122, Edric attacks me with 11 angels, 39 ducks, and attack 18. And I have 7 8 offense and defense... I have 80 mana and 8 spell power, he has 120 mana!! but, fortunately, 2 spell power. I cast implosion on the angels for 830 immediately, then mass haste and a navel gaze. In short, at first it seemed to me that the opponent had no chances at all, but when his ducks got tired and the crusaders cast a couple of times, it became scary. In the end, at the finish of this final battle, I was left with 7 ducks, and he retreated on harpies. On my turn, I brought 3 minotaurs and a couple of harpies, 4 medusas, and moved forward. And then it turned out that there was the opponent's respawn exit, and the turn to the center was blocked by a stack of efreetis. I had only 2 mana left and no magic power, so I decided to fight my way home for double mana and clear the blocked part of the respawn. Especially since there were also 3 trees and 2 dwellings there.
Then he attacks me again on an angel, 2 horses, 7 crusaders, and also 60 mana or so. I buy him off, losing a duck and a minotaur. But I double. The opponent approaches my capital, sees 160 mana, and surrenders.

To summarize, if the opponent, upon seeing me through the view spell, hadn't attacked but simply turned toward the center, which is significantly closer to his respawn and with the opponent having more movement points, he would have taken the center, which would have decided the outcome of the game. I can say that I dodged a bullet.

Thanks for the game!
