We started playing the drop with a drowned pink computer. From refuges I got 2 dreads, quickly broke through to the gray player and killed him, but sadly the dreads couldn't solo 49 chieftains :( Well, no big deal, I retreated with Tan, farmed gold for horses in the citadel and at the start of week two broke two conservatories for 6 angels, built my own by the end of the week, taking a mini-utopia, and then a tier 3. On week 3, day 1 the opponent showed up, but didn't break the chains and Tan brought meat for the third utopia, only gave stats, nothing else. I Town Portal'd from there home for stables and went to another tier 3 for pandoras, but there was experience and 20 pits... Found another utopia, got KB and a 5x hat, things got funnier. Then the opponent came into my grail dig area and took some villages, on my turn my scout ran to the red's village through wasteland and there's Town Portal! Quickly finished off the utopia with a prison hero, used him to block a one-way portal, and popped out with my main right into the dig zone :) Defeated a wisdom hero in a village for Town Portal, bought him for my main, learned it, picked up a red orb and attacked Ignissa. The opponent decided to surrender, thanks for the game.
At the moment of the first encounter I probably didn't have enough of a turn to prevent him from taking the utopias, where the opponent gathered a ton of stats. After that I was afraid to engage, had no control, had no utopias (only a single one with slag), had no resources - everything went into trade for tempo. Got lucky building Town Portal in a Castle village on the first try. But in the end I lost ingloriously without stats and without air control.
