“Newcomer – 2016. Summer”

We repelled all the way to complete garbage, as it seemed to me (2 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 Griffin Conservatories for me). But it turned out to be a free ГО (Hydras), even though it was 1.5 days away. Kirya immediately showed her mother-level growth with Offense and Earth. I spawned in the center on week 1, day 2, 3/4 and assumed the neighboring respawn was the opponent's, and on the way he had an Arch Devil ГО. I had no Earth View, but I guessed which way to run in the center to avoid hitting a dead-end branch. On week 2, Taz flew into the center over wasteland and took the level 5 hat that I hadn't cleared (guarded by Arch Devils, I had nothing to beat them with at the time), but I had already moved quite far away. In the end, Taz, having eaten almost nothing in the center, ran to the neighboring respawn, and ate the entire center (Dragon Utopias, Pandora's Boxes, artifacts). There were almost no Dragon Fly Hives, zero Griffin Conservatories. Pretty poor in that regard, basically. But there were two Pandora's Boxes with 15 Minotaurs. I dug up a couple of decent heroes with Wisdom, Logistics, built level 4 and 5 in my Castle (Town Portal, Fly), retrained, and started eating through the center (which turned out to be huge) and also the neighboring respawn. I found КВ, КЗ, even though they were essentially useless by then. I collected Armor of the Damned, Sword of Shamm, saw that far, far away (as the opponent probably thought) Taz had jumped into the center to steal the Cape of Speed +2 and also looted a tomb. But Kiryukha with almost 4k movement points and Dimension Door caught him. Sword of Shamm + Armor of the Damned + Shackles prevented Taz from escaping.
Thanks for the game. Good luck in the lower bracket.
