The spawn was pretty decent, I suppose (2 external dwellings of hydras, 5 hives, 2 external dwelling of minotaur, 4 Dragon Utopias, etc.) but everything was horribly spread out and under decent guards. I only roughly figured out how to gather at least a large part of this in a reasonable time by the end of the first week; on the first day, 1-6 in the castle and an external dwelling of minotaur. I almost didn't build up the secondary Castle and Fortress towns. On the second day, I started aggressively clearing hives with Tazar and scouts, since ГО at roughly 5000 MP from the capital decided to take the home Dragon Utopias first... But they were all spread out, just insanely far... In the first two-week (2wk) fight, they ate all the minotaurs (didn't manage to upgrade them), all the chow, and gave a Chalice of Life and Sea Boots... The second (also a 2wk) I took with 2 hydras and 28 archers, but already with good stats and Mass Shield; I took it well with the loss of one archer and a few singles. Gave a Blue Key and some junk. Week ended; I had hydras in the capital, archers in the secondary. The opponent, meanwhile, had been in the center for a long time, which sucks but nothing to be done... Day 1 month 3 — upgrade hydras; the mini Dragon Utopia with Blackshard of the Dead Knight, boots for speed, and a Shield +3/3, will do. Day 1 month 3, part 2 — I head into the center and see a direction there towards an unexplored part of the center; I break through a hundred Wizards at a neutral respawn, sit down in a Ramp village to replenish mana. By the way, I have Intelligence but no Wisdom yet, and meanwhile, in the Castle village, Town Portal and Antimagic with Clone are waiting for Expert Earth magic. Gave Earth; with decent speed I run-jump around the center, take 3 hives (4, 4, 8), Boots +2 all; experience in Pandora's Boxes gave Wisdom and Water; a Pandora's Box with 15 simple cats; well, and then I saw what I'd wanted for a long time — the center Castle, and even a Dungeon. Jumped there, there was a split into a Castle near the nearest tree on day 6, which the Lich takes; I learn Town Portal, upgrade all archers to 60+; Tazar's stats got a bit better; then Shakti approaches the Ramp village — I don't want to give it up, there's a Dragon Utopia nearby that I've spotted. I sit down there, put on the Chalice instead of the Blue Key, and Sandals instead of the Boots of Speed; I think Shakti won't decide to attack, but he decided... My forces: 7 gr. hydras, 60+ gr. archers, 15 cats, some singles of flies; Shakti has — 21 red cats, 7 red dragons, 60+ archers, 35 Evil Eyes, and chaff. Tazar has slightly better stats. My first turn, Mass Haste, I halve the archers and cats; he casts Mass Berserk on me; a few rounds of archers and hydras gnawing at each other... But then morale procs on the archers, Antimagic on them, and there were still about 50 of them left, which was quite enough to finish off the remaining troops despite the dragons being resurrected through Sacrifice. Concession follows. Thanks for the game.
