We chose all restarts, ended up playing for luck. I got a good draw: 4 Dragon Fly Hives, 2 Griffin Conservatories, an external dwelling of birds, nice artifacts. Not everything I wanted worked out, so I decided to come out on 121 without Slow via Efreeti. But surprisingly, behind the Efreeti there turned out to be two more ГО that had to be fought through Efreeti, so I had to skip the day immediately and wait for Labeta with Mass Slow. The center turned out to be quite poor. The opponent was in no hurry to the center, but was showing strong stats and Archangels, so I didn't dare go grab the goodies near the opponent's ГО, but instead headed to a neutral respawn to take a Dragon Utopia. I build GM5, it gives Dimension Door (cool). I take a max Dragon Utopia — it gives Speaker's Hat, Admiral's Hat, Chalice of Wishes, and something else. On 127, the blue player finally comes to the center, but there are only 1-4 (1) Archangels. I don't have time to attack, I realize reinforcements are coming. I decide to take the Dragon Utopia at the respawn. The opponent takes a Dragon Utopia (as it turned out, with КЗ) near a neighboring ГО and heads to the neighboring respawn. I take a small Dragon Utopia at home — there's the Tome of Air Magic. I pick up the Shackles of War and the Cloak of the Undead King. I'm ready for the fight, but I need to catch up somehow))) The third week is a war of scout heroes with castle flipping, which I'm losing. I'm practically pushed out of the center. On the third try, I finally get Town Portal at home and buy off the blue player's scout hero. Realizing I'm losing map control, I go to take the opponent's main to upgrade Angels there. Artyom understands that giving up the castle means moving to defense. I'm half a step short of attacking on 137, but it's good that I'm red and have a buffer in the form of 141; during this time, the blue player brings in 30 Ogres from a Pandora's Box, which helped a bit in the final battle. A very ambiguous final battle (see screenshot), where there were mutual mistakes and inaccuracies. As a result, I barely managed to win the final battle thanks to Storm Elementals. Perhaps Artyom should have given up the castle and continued the chase with a map control advantage, but Tazar with Archangels and growth would have looked scary; perhaps he could have caught the blue player's army with the Shackles in week 4, but that's not certain. Thanks for the game.
In the final battle, I should have cast the spell wave in round 1 to kill the Storm Elementals; before the final battle, I should have equipped +10 spell power, since I saw the opponent's Storm Elementals and could have guessed it would be a magic fight; and earlier — I shouldn't have taken Dragon Utopias at the respawn with scout heroes and shouldn't have thrown away all my power except for 1 Archangel. Even though I took 5 Dragon Utopias at the respawn, there was no control anywhere.
Thanks for the game and good luck further!
