I ran out of restorations. There's a +7 sword by the castle with 70 Fire Elementals, and that's it — no caches at all. I went straight for the computers; on the way, I found boots and a crown. By the end of the first week, I captured a castle from two players. I barely had enough gold to place Bears on the first week. Solmyr spawned; with the crown and ribs, I took the +7 sword near the castle in two trips using Rifts. I picked up one Griffin Conservatory and went for the last computer. Week 3 was a feed week. In the treasure zone, there were several Cyclops caches, a native town, 1 Dragon Utopia, and Zealots with Dragon Fly Hives. A couple of Pandora's Boxes for gold and a level 4 spell. Dessa leveled really badly — everything (Water, Sorcery, Intelligence) flew in except what was needed. I had Air, but no Earth. On week 4, I had to take the Dragon Utopia with low-tier troops; it turned out to be a three-stack, and I lost all my Bears (5 units), Giants from the Workshop, and the rest. It gave an Air spell book and stat artifacts. Throughout the game, the tavern showed my army as stronger, and stats were roughly equal. But just before breaking through the Guard Object in the form of a Demon Pit group of Devils, the opponent revealed a hero whose stats were higher than mine — in particular, Defense was about double. Before cracking the Guard Object, I managed to gather the Sniper's Bow, and with 50+ Greater Cyclopes, 35+ Greater Harpies, a Phoenix, Efreet, and a couple of Angels, I broke through. The opponent broke through his Guard Object a day earlier (I managed to see it via the Watchtower). The next turn, I attacked the opponent; without killing anyone, the opponent bought peace. The turn after that, I took his native castle; one turn before that, the opponent managed to upgrade his Bears and attacked me in the castle on his turn. He had 50+ Cyclopes, 1 Angel, and 6 Greater Bears. I cast Prayer; my Cyclopes dealt over 1500+ damage to his Cyclopes (thanks to Sniper's Bow); the opponent hit mine with Implosion (2000+ damage). Then he killed my Wyverns with Implosion. I cast Armageddon (without Fire Magic); only my Efreet and his 11 Cyclopes remained. He shot — 3 out of 4 Efreet remained; he had high morale — shot again. 2 Efreet remained. My turn first — Armageddon again, and the hero was defeated. Thanks for the game.
