I haven't played this template, but it seems to have ended coolly. By month 2, I grabbed everything I had — an army of 10 Angels, 34 Wyverns, 100+ Gremlins, 5 Naga Queens, 10 Mages. On day 126, I took down a level 3 Dragon Utopia with the loss of 1 Wyvern, which gave me a Helm +6 All. Then came fights with the weaklings, where on day 127 I wiped out all nearby weaklings and went on the offensive. On day 131, a surrender followed.
Thank you for the game!
Not knowing the template was the deciding factor. I didn't take a town where it was actually needed. Near the Castle, I saw a chest behind a pack of Trolls, which blocked one of the roads; behind the Castle, 3000 MP into the bushes, there was another chest behind a horde of Rogues. In one of them was an army — I thought so, and that's how it was — behind the Trolls, 25 Marauders... A wood mine was blocked, there was no wood, I exchanged it for other resources at the external market, but I still placed Behemoths after the Citadel... in short, the tempo was seriously disrupted. Moreover, after the scatter, I discovered that all roads led to dead ends with blocks like 120 Diamond Golems, 98 Minotaurs... behind chests (useless, by the way). One of the roads led to a horde of Vampires behind an artifact for Morale and a Hive. I stood on day 123 to take it, and then the opponent popped out and took both that and a Sword +2+2 nearby. Unfavorable contacts began for me, and the opponent started quickly stacking Wyverns and Angels. I didn't find a Conflux at all... in short, everything was eaten up later right under my nose a day faster...
Thank you for the game!
