"Newcomer - 2016. Winter"

It was very tough at the start; a block in the treasure zone from the Magmatics cut off the path to the companion on the way. I only lost time and an army in a neighboring zone, as there was nothing there except a couple of artifacts. After that, I had to crawl across the wilderness to another neighboring zone, where I found the gold I so desperately needed. Thanks to this same rather wealthy "grassy" zone, I managed to put Minotaurs and Cats in the Fort. Then I started taking Hives, but the guards were tough; the meat ran out very quickly. And all of this had to be done across the wilderness—all the Hives were far away.


I gathered 4 Hives and a Conclave, as luck would have it, a "one" by the end of the second week, and at the start of the third I went into the treasure zone. The treasure zone is terrible—not small and bugged, but on average roads the tempo would have been very low if not for Gunnar and the stable. I only picked up the companion in the middle of the third week. I headed to the center, where on the 4th week I took 2 Dragon Utopias. That's where I got КВ and stats; I built a Town Portal at home and started gathering an army. Especially since Gunnar wasn't the only one doing this—Gretchen was also helping him. On day 231, I attacked the opponent in the main without growth; he had 300 Demons, but his stats were inferior, so 100+ Uts and 28 Archs handled it.
