I took all the respawns; my opponent still had one left but didn't follow. We played Jebus Cross on the middle roads.
The start was weak, but thanks to a level 5 Melody from the prison, I got 50+ Centaurs. One road was blocked by a group of 50+ Flies for an external dwelling of Horns and a bunch of junk.
Soon it turned out the second road was also blocked, by Death Knights for +4+4 armor. I ran around, finding an external dwelling of Elves along the way.
On day three, I scouted a Pandora's Box. This gave some hope for a positive outcome of the match. 2 external dwellings of Horses, 1 Griffin Conservatory, 1 Obelisk - if the Guardian Creature isn't too nasty, I can break through thanks to my stats.
On day 4, I reached the road; on day 5, I revealed a lookout post on it and saw there was nothing further. Guardian Creature - a group of Nagas, right behind them a Swamp Town, slightly further - a Tomb of Earth behind Death Knights. Decent. I split my army and ran to take the external dwellings. After breaking through the Flies, I found a second Obelisk behind them. I built Horses in the Castle; thanks to the external market, I had money to buy everything. I didn't make it to the villages.
On day 121, I took the first Obelisk, and it was a maximum! I was pleased and recaptured the Pandora's Box. On day 122, I replenished my mana, split my army, and ran to the Guardian Creature. The army took the Griffin Conservatory, which turned out to be a tier 3, which was also pleasing. The second Obelisk on day 123 gave another 8 Wiverns. The army is decent, stats are good, but Kyrre is level 8 with Expert Pathfinding.
I somewhat barely broke through the Guardian Creature and the Tomb of Earth on day 124, getting Estates and Tactics. In the center, there are Dragon Utopias, but it's not very clear how to take them without losing everything.
On day 125, I made a very difficult decision. I ran to the town. Built a Tavern, saw the opponent's Guardian Creature, broken through, nearby Galtran heading somewhere off-road. His troops are about the same as mine (if, of course, 20+ Wiverns isn't actually 40+), stats about the same as mine. Perhaps I should have skipped a day in the Castle, then built a Mage Guild there, so that at the end of the day after dumping my mana in the Dragon Utopia, I could calmly spend the night there replenishing my magic. But the Dragon Utopia was also very dangerously placed, right by the road. Anyway, I entered the Dragon Utopia. It turned out to be a tier 3; I lost the remaining Centaurs, 1 Rogue, and 1 Wivern, and used all my mana. It gave a second Tomb of Earth, a Tomb of Fire, and Boots of Resistance. The situation was extremely dangerous, but fortunately, Galtran, also out of mana, ran back to his respawn to take Dragon Utopias.
On day 126, I simply took a Pandora's Box for experience and spent the night in a dungeon. On day 127, I doubled my mana, thought I was incredibly awesome, and entered another Dragon Utopia. It was maximum level. It ate almost all the Unicorns, but gave simply fantastic rewards: +5 all, +4 all, +3 all, and a Tomb of Air. With stats of 20-30 and control, you feel pretty good. I learned Air Magic up; in the second-to-last slot, I finally got Armor.
On day 131, I upgraded Wiverns, moved my troops, flew around the wasteland, but only found 1 Beehive for 8. On day 132, I flew completely into the wasteland, another Obelisk for 6 (already without an upgrade), a Pandora's Box for experience (Expert Armor), and I stopped by a Dragon Utopia. If I had Scouting, I could have intercepted and killed Galtran at the start.
However, he didn't bring anything valuable from the respawn, and on day 133, based on the overview, it was absolutely clear where to find the main Necromancer. Dimension Door, Visions - stats are low, mana for 1 cast. Lots of troops, but thanks to my stats and fast units on my home ground, even with Fireball under Curse of the Netherworld, I should have won easily. I attack - no Curse of the Netherworld, no Cloak of the Undead King, the battle is won without difficulty.
Thank you for the game!
