"Newcomer - 2017. Winter"

Very poor performance after restarts and a lot of blockades on neighboring resource nodes, plus I played quite badly. For the first three weeks, I couldn't really do anything; I barely had enough money to buy back ducks and flies. Then, I broke through to a huge and very profitable corner treasure node, where I gathered 8 hives, a 5-all, a 3-all, and a Utopia with a Knight and 2-all. When I emerged, I had 2 angels, 60 ducks, and stats of 20. Claudius arrived with a stack of skeletons, 40+ monarchs, 5 angels, and various other units. Thanks to the stat difference and summoning elementals, I essentially won, and the opponent retreated with his skeletons, but the Tha'ar went to the tavern because the ducks died from Implosion, and only elementals remained in the army; and just before that, all my cities were usurped. Thanks for the game!
