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

The first week was fast-paced — all 3 AI were taken, but due to money issues, the Nagas didn't get built, though the Unicorns did. The end of the first week and the beginning of the next went under Rabinovich's motto "carefully between the raindrops" — I maneuvered against Ramp's Sielle and Elshar, with only remnants of Gremlins left that I wanted to preserve, and no gold for splitting, so the first Griffin Conservatory was only taken on turn 125. By the start of the third week, 2 treasure zones were cleared — the 2nd Conservatory and 3 Hives were taken, ГО — gr cyclopes, plus a small centaur and a sand one — I'm heading into the unexplored treasure zone slowly, splitting only with the main hero(( Only by turn 137 did I clear everything, with 900 skeletons, 34 Vivi, and 6 Angels — at least someone will reach the cyclopes) Next, I captured the opponent's unbuilt main, made Demons (due to the lack of external dwellings, only 200 of them by FB), searched for cyclopean forges, since it suddenly turned out there are few mines on the map)) The opponent, with almost twice the stats and control (but with half the army), ran, jumped, and skipped, but I by sheer will refused a draw, waited a week or two (artifacts for resources rule), finally built up control, even without Dimension Door, found AOTD alongside the existing Cape of Silence, and in the agreed-upon final battle left no chance. There, even without that, it probably would have worked out — but I feared the growth of ducks and hydras from the external dwelling from 2 swamps (though the opponent didn't build the 2nd one). Still, it's better than taking a beating from a hero with double the stats while having a double advantage in raw units) Thank you for the game.
