The start looked promising. Scouting revealed a Dragon Fly Hive, a box behind the mummies, 50-99 Manticores ГО. Tazar and Gunnar showed up in the tavern. But, as it turned out, that was almost all I saw (there was also one Dragon Fly Hive and one Griffin Conservatory). Shakti was developing normally, so by 123 I still broke through the ГО. Then came the horror - a block of 5-9 Archangels or 5-9 Faerie Dragons. I went to fight the Archangels and lost almost all my growth. Then it was either 20-49 Hydras or 50-99 Phoenixes. And after the Phoenixes, there was no way to turn back. I chose the Phoenixes. Then came another surprise - 20-49 Wyvern Monarchs. I barely killed them and made it to the castle. By that time, the opponent had broken the ГО and I saw him. I attacked his Crag Hack—even here I could have won (since I had full mana, while he had 7 mana). But I didn't have a single combat spell. I killed all his Thunderbirds and 4 out of 11 bears. But he had one extra Haste. I could have stalled, but I decided to surrender.

Thanks for the game!
