thanks for the game
Time pressure decides: while trying to make a good move by eating part of the treasure zone and raising rocs, I didn't have time to return artifacts to papa, for which I was immediately punished.
The game wasn't easy: dead blocks at the respawn exit in the form of a horde of monks and evil eyes, and I spent 2 weeks clearing native pickups, but luckily there were 3 Griffin Conservatories and money objects there. During this time I also set up Town Portal. On week 3 I exit respawn straight into a Dragon Utopia - a tier 1 with a Gladius. And soon I rebuild into Dimension Door as well. Normal rotation begins, castles accumulate quickly... but there are 2 serious problems: 1) out of 3 papa heroes: Gundula with Earth and Air but without Logistics, Kirr only with Earth, Marusya only with Air. I was ahead in castles and troops, controlled 2 swamps, had good stacks of cows, monarchs, rocs, and angels. But here the second problem came into play: timer at 0. Further roc accumulation is problematic. I just went to squeeze the opponent's castles, which was difficult and time-consuming given problem 1. Especially since most of the map was already eaten. Both have 55 attack, but I have Gundula against Dessa, magic around 30, I have 17, but there's a cape for magic restriction, so I'm not worried... and then I choked on the timer.
thanks for the game!
