Favorites, to battle! - 8 - The Battle of Favorites! - 8

Chose Rampart. Tough start, but there's an external dwelling of Minotaurs. Scouted several Griffin Conservatories. By the second Griffin Conservatory, I gathered a decent number of Angels and rushed the opponent. Portal chain. Heroin wanted to pull the army out through a buyback, but miscalculated something - lost 2/3 of the army. We ran around a bit more, then FB and Heroin surrenders. Thanks for the games!

Things weren't too bad for me, except for Clans leveling poorly and with 121 Gosh. Killed the neutral, built a Mage Guild, started gathering a solid stack of 40 Swarm Dragons and almost 400 Skeletons by day 125. Took a village in the treasure zone, sent Gosh to the Castle, and transferred the army behind a very distant road sign. And right there near the Castle, I placed Horseshoes on 2 road signs and on +2 to speed, and a Sword +6. But Gunnar comes running and cuts down 2 Horseshoes from the chain, miscalculated the buyback, and didn't have enough gold anyway. In short, 10 Swarm Dragons and 130 Skeletons remain; in the meantime, the opponent took my main town and built 4 Mage Guilds, got Town Portal from the second try, while I scrounged up a little army, grabbed a couple of Swarm Dragons from КЗ and КШ. But it was already too late, Wings, Town Portal, 20 Angels, and he cut me off from everywhere, gg. In the end, I watched the replay, and it was insane. 5 Griffin Conservatories, 3+3+3+1+3, all near roads, collected the Griffin Conservatories simply and linearly with 1 hero, 8 heroes all level 1 at the end of the second week, and also got lucky hitting my town on day 131, so much for running around.
Thanks for the game! Good luck in the finals!
