Gunnar, Grinya, Jeddit, and I decided that such a lineup would suit me. Gunnar immediately cleared 2 max Crypts, and Grinya leveled Earth to Advanced in a pillar. In the next zone, I immediately got a small blockade in the form of Vampires for +3 Morale/Luck. I didn't break into the Sands yet because of the shooter guards. In the end, I leveled Grinya where I could, and he immediately got Expert Earth :smile03:
I brought a cart and easily micromanaged 40+ Vampires. I broke through immediately via another road where the blockade was more serious — 50+ Beholders. Behind the Vampires, the passage turned out to be bugged again into the Sands, and there Minotaurs guarding a level 5 Hat + Dragon Fly Hive.
In the Underground, I found a Pandora's Box with 50+ Dragon Flies. I sent Grinya home to replenish mana. On day 117, I managed to build Mages. On the first day of buying, I easily break the Dragon Flies and get 15 Lich in the Pandora's Box :cool:. The next day, 105 Minotaurs give me the Hat. Then I rushed to gather Dragon Fly Hives — by the end of day 124, I had 38 already. Grinya got Air, Intelligence, and Scholar to pick up Resurrection. Then the timer ran out, and problems started because contact happened. I ran into some corner where I found nothing and only wasted time, while my opponent was already showing a larger army. But he didn't go to take my main, the Keymaster's Tent, and the Hives with Archangels, which I had, thus giving me time to take my Dragon Utopia (Gladius + 4 All), level Air, and take the situation into my own hands. By the middle of week 3, I was already in control of the situation and took another mini Dragon Utopia for the Teapot. Next, I took the main.
On day 142, I was about to finish taking the Keymaster's Tent with Archangels to finally secure my advantage, but Dave surrendered due to lack of control and prospects. :smile03:
TFP!

Thanks to Dark for the tournament he ran. Hopefully, next time the deadlines will be stricter ;)
