We refought everything possible with the opponent. Result: a poor layout, one of the two main roads was blocked by 42 dogs with a gr stack guarding the head of the legion. I run scout heroes to the sides, on day 112 I want to take a crypt, but it turns out to be max and I lose my entire army. To not lose tempo, I quickly start buying an army in the castle, there's no wood (since the dogs blocked the road to the wood mine). I barely manage to fight back and find some wood piles, find a single Griffin Conservatory, and want to take it with everything I had, but failing to kill 2 stacks - a loss, I'm left completely without an army on day 115 and there's nothing left to buy in the castle. Already wanted to write GG, but thought the opponent wasn't having it easy either, and saw prospects of breaking out at least by the start of the 3rd week. Scout heroes run off-road and on day 5 I get onto the road that the dogs had blocked. The respawn turns out to be big, the road is long. But there are blocks everywhere and I can't really get anywhere, fortunately I had enough free gold and resources. On day 121 I kill 1 angel, run forward, take a Dragon Fly Hive with 8 wyverns, where I lose 1, grab boots from nagas and an external dwelling of wyverns. Total I now have 12. I clear another double Dragon Utopia, the pot is rolling decently, mostly getting relevant drops. At the end of the second week, I take a Pandora's Box from cyclops for 10k, slightly underlevel Earth magic, which I really need to break through GO (90 gr cyclops). I sell artifacts at the altar, get the skill, and on day 133 I go straight at GO with 3 angels, 20 gr wyverns, about 10 gr gorgons, and single dragonflies, losing 2 wyverns and some chaff, then run ahead. The opponent was already in the center on the second week, which gave him a huge advantage. I manage to collect a few Pandora's Boxes, almost no stat artifacts, but the pot was around level 20. I take a Pandora's Box for 12 unicorns, a +5 sword, a minor Dragon Fly Hive and then the opponent attacks, higher stats, around 50-something wyverns, 3 angels. I'm out of mana. My hero is killed.
Thank you for the game
