Favorites, to battle! - 9 - The Battle of Favorites! - 9

A rather poor respawn, got 3 air elementals from heroes, became playable thanks to Gunnar and stables nearby. During the first week, I painted all mines at the crossroads, took the Inferno computer, placed a small surplus of troops in the fort.
On the second week, I took two villages in the center and a corner treasure zone - still found no objects, only 4 Dragon Utopias. Took a 6k computer - Necropolis. Basically everyone was running around collecting resources, I was building the mage guild in Inferno. Scouting near the Inferno base behind the rocks revealed КЗ behind phoenixes - target number one. At the end of the week, I took the Castle computer.
On the third week, I revealed awkwardly positioned objects that could only be taken through control, gathered cyclops dwellings using 8 birds. Bought boots from the trader. On the second rebuild, I got Fly and a resurrect - on day 133, I took КЗ with Labetha, the game became a bit easier, started gathering something. Towards the end of the week, the opponent takes Castle through control and leaves Galtran there (had been spotting him since the first week) on an angel, while Müllich runs ahead. On the same day, I finally rebuild Dimension Door (on the 5th or 6th attempt), reach Galtran with Gunnar, kill him, but don't have enough 30 movement points to fly away. Sold resources for a ransom - ransomed myself, killing 1 angel from the opponent. The opponent's economy is small, but all stats are higher, roughly by 20-25 total. I carefully prepare heroes to take everything from under the opponent during his advance.
On day 141, the opponent takes Inferno, where the mage guild was being built, and surrenders, considering further fighting against a logistician futile and failing to catch Galtran back.
Thanks for the game.

Also poor, got little in terms of troops, but have Müllich and Gosha. The roads are completely Alis - one in the corner, the other leading to a monolith exit). Luckily, there were 2 Griffin Conservatories (3+3) in the corner and a Dragon Fly Hive behind the cows for 4 dragon flies, and another Dragon Fly Hive in the adjacent zone for 8 dragon flies. By mid-second week, both main heroes were level 3 and 4). Summoned demons for the Griffin Conservatories and took with Müllich first a Conservatory of 3, the Dragon Fly Hive behind the bulls, a Naga dwelling, and another Conservatory of 3. At the start of the third week, summoned even more demons - about 60+, 6 angels, 7 pit fiends, and 12 dragon flies, then went with Gosha into a Dragon Utopia, since he has Expert Earth and barely enough mana for Shield, and it was a max Dragon Utopia :smile07: Lost half the demon stack, all dragon flies and pit fiends. Got a Shield +4 all, a Helm, a +10 helmet, and the Blackshard. Remaining were 6 angels and about 30 demons; took another Dragon Utopia with an imp, after replenishing mana for both main heroes and secondary heroes. And then I made a fatal mistake - seeing the path to the opponent's base via scouting, I decided to force the encounter, since the timer was nearly zero, even though castles for demon raising had appeared, but without the timer it's hard to do. In short, I played brazenly and thoughtlessly, didn't believe there was control there, left Gosha on an angel, and he got killed off on me (this is already the 3rd time against Conflux, they kill exactly Gosha on an angel, life teaches nothing))) Even though Müllich was the main, I had no desire to play with only one main without logistics and a timer against Gunnar. I was justly punished. Thanks for the game!
