This time, thanks to Vasya's tip, I took red) Started playing purely because of Jeremy, and also because I spawned up top. No real gap, into 4 heroes, everything on gold mine micro, while simultaneously chipping away at Tamika bit by bit. By the end of the week, I took 2 villages and the enemy Tower, built 1-6(Upg.3) in Castle and set up under a Griffin Conservatory 2-4, Jeremy lvl2 on stables. On day 121, I broke the Griffin Conservatory-2, and Dragon Fly Hive-8, then pro-hit-and-ran on Vampires guarding a КЗ (was short 4 mana for a no-loss victory..) The Vampires died. Long live the Vampires! They know their job and did it! After that, easy game, since Jeremiah already had Earth. On day 127, I down a max Dragon Utopia with air control, and got ready to finish Bishop. A boring game there, because it's in the underground and there are long roads with blocks.
Thanks for the game!
P.S. also had a fight with Pit Lords (36 of them), and they didn't summon a single demon! (Amilu, how is that even possible?!) First time in my memory.. and the computers are playing much stronger, and it's not just related to the army boost, the AI has generally gotten smarter :)
