The first 10 days or so of the game were pretty boring — I farmed resources, killed a green Inferno computer opponent, built up my town, scouted, and so on. Tazu got junk at levels 2-3; I chose Learning, but then the skill rolls went smoothly — Earth Magic, Offense, and Logistics in a row. In the middle of the second week, I went overland into one of the central treasure zones, grabbed a Dragon Fly Hive with 6 Wyverns, found nothing else, and then went overland into the second central zone — also underground, on lava. There I killed 96 Greater Demons for a chest with 17k experience, then found several beehives and a Griffin Conservatory (mini), plus a Dragon Utopia. I planned to gather everything I had scouted and break the Dragon Utopia on day 132, but the scout hero couldn't handle 20+ Greater Minotaurs for a Dragon Fly Hive in a snowy adjacent zone without Wyverns — I lost the growth +65 Lizardmen +11 Snipers. I had to wait another 2 days, upgraded my Wyverns, and took the Dragon Utopia only on day 134. But I did buy a spell book for Tazu by finally reaching the central Tower town. The Dragon Utopia gave me the Book of Water, +2 spell power, a necklace with +3 spell power and knowledge, and a shield with +12.
I continued scouting; by the end of the week, I grabbed the doubled resource (pink swamp). The next week, I found 2 more Dragon Utopias — one in the inner treasure zone of the computers, and one in my own inner zone. The first turned out to be a mini with a Titan's Cuirass, but the second was a double with a Blue Cap. However, there was no Air Magic; I took Water Magic in the last slot. With Dimension Door and Fly, I took the purple Rampart. Soon I caught a poorly positioned Gretchin, cut down 8 Angels with Imps and 20 birds with Monarchs, and then a buyout followed.
I built 3 guilds, including the Tower guild, but no one gave me Town Portal. I took another 2 Dragon Utopias — one was complete garbage with a Black Sphere, the other gave stats: the Sword of Justice, Necklace of Grace, and another shield with +12. I also collected a Griffin Conservatory up to 10 Angels. With boots, a stable, and expert Logistics, Tazar ran great with Angels and Monarchs at 3600 movement points.
On day 215, I caught and killed the opponent's growth in his underground adjacent zone, and there I also grabbed a maxi-Griffin Conservatory and a Cyclops stockpile with 8. The next turn, I went into his corner and finally took a chest with the entire 4th level.
Day 216 — the opponent reclaims the former blue computer's Stronghold with the help of Gretchin, which I had taken from him earlier. Crag crashes in there and jumps for something into the territory of my Rampart (the former purple one).
Day 216, my turn — with Town Portal, I gather the army from 2 swamps: 69 Monarchs, 16 Greater Bulls, 75 Greater Lizardmen, 185 Greater Gnolls, a few Serpent Flies, and 14 Angels. Taz has 43 defense, mana below 100, but Crag has only 27 mana.
Crag has 8 Beholders, 40+ Ogres, and 26 Wyverns.
Round 1 — I cast Mass Prayer and with +2 speed, I slam Angels into the Wyverns (-23 of them) and Monarchs into the Beholders (-the entire stack). The opponent writes "thanks for the game" and throws a farewell Armageddon with a boost, after which I have 8 Angels and 50 Wyverns left. Thanks!

The first 10 days of the game were pretty boring — I fended off resources, killed the green Inferno computer opponent, built up my town, scouted, etc. Tazar got junk stats at levels 2-3, I chose Learning, but then the rolls went well — Earth, Offense, and Logistics in a row. Around mid-second week I went through wasteland into one of the central treasure zones, grabbed a Dragon Fly Hive with 6 Wyverns there, found nothing else, then went through wasteland again into the second central zone — also underground, on lava. There I killed 96 Greater Demons for a chest with 17k XP, then found several hives and a Griffin Conservatory (mini), as well as a Dragon Utopia. I planned to gather everything scouted and break the Dragon Utopia at day 132, but the scout hero couldn't handle 20+ Greater Minotaurs for a Dragon Fly Hive on a snowy adjacent zone without Wyverns — lost the growth +65 Lizardmen +11 Snipers. Had to wait another 2 days, upgraded the Wyverns and took the Dragon Utopia only at day 134. But I bought the spell book for Tazar, having finally reached the central Tower village. The Dragon Utopia gave Water spell book, +2 spell power, necklace with +3 spell power and knowledge, and a shield +12.
I kept scouting, by the end of the week I took a double (pink swamp), the next week I found 2 more Dragon Utopias — one in the internal treasure zone of the computers, the second in my own internal zone. The first turned out to be a mini with Titan's Cuirass, and the second was a double with a Blue Cap. Though there was no Air magic; for the last slot I took Water. With Dimension Door and Flight I took the purple Rampart. Soon I caught Gretchin who had walked into a trap — eliminated 8 Angels with imps and 20 birds with monarchs, then came a ransom.
Built 3 guilds, including Tower's; nowhere gave Town Portal. I took 2 more Dragon Utopias — one was total junk with a Black Sphere, the second was for stats, gave Sword of Justice, Necklace of Grace, and another shield +12. Also picked up a Griffin Conservatory up to 10 Angels. Tazar with Boots of Speed, a stable, and Expert Logistics ran great with Angels and Monarchs at 3600 MP.
At day 215 caught and killed the opponent's growth on his underground adjacent zone; there I also took a max Griffin Conservatory and a Cyclops dwelling with 8. The next turn I went into his corner and finally took a chest with all of level 4.
Day 216 — the opponent uses Gretchin to reclaim the Stronghold of the former blue computer that I had once taken from him. Crag Hack teleports there and jumps for something (as it turned out, a Ring of Life) into the territory of my Rampart (the former purple).
Day 216 mine — with Town Portal I gather the army from 2 swamps, resulting in 69 Monarchs, 16 Greater Behemoths, 75 Greater Lizardmen, 185 Greater Gnolls, singles of Serpent Flies, and 14 Angels. Taz with 43 defense, mana under 100, but Crag has only 27 mana.
Crag with 8 Harpies, 40+ Ogre Magi, and 26 Wyverns.
Round 1 — I cast Mass Prayer and with +2 speed crash Angels into Wyverns (-23 units) and Monarchs into Harpies (the whole stack). Opponent says thank you for the game and casts a farewell Armageddon with Sorcery, after which I have 8 Angels and 50 Wyverns left. Thanks!

We started without resources. Archers are built, upgraded them, broke through to an adjacent zone, took resource mines and one gold mine, suffered a loss on the second, but horses were coming up in the fort, griffins + their external dwelling, saw cloak of power [magic knowledge], shield, easy passage to another adjacent zone, so I decided to continue, and the opponent, after their loss, considered the situation hopeless.
Thanks for the game

We started without any pauses. I built archers, upgraded them, broke through to the adjacent territory, took resource mines and one gold mine; I lost on the second one, but I was able to build cavalry in the forest, griffins + their outer defense. I saw a cloak with Strength, Magic, and Knowledge, a shield, and an easy path to another adjacent territory, so I decided to continue, but my opponent, after his loss, considered the situation hopeless.
Thank you for the game.

There was a draft with a rest on meeting, almost everyone chose the rest (I had one left). I played the draft with a Griffin Conservatory and an external dwelling of nagas, which I didn't take on the first week, guard - a horde of magogs. Home nagas in the Citadel.
On the second week, contacts with the opponent began, I had to change the development direction. I took a dungeon village, Town Portal'd the nagas, built a Castle, upgraded the nagas.
On the third week, Gunnisson came to kill me. By a miracle, having traded all resources down to zero, I managed to move all the nagas to Nila, who was preparing to take a Dragon Utopia. It gives the Golden Bow and the Sword of Justice. I also pulled Shackles from that treasure zone. On day 135, they take my capital, I capture the Castle and am left with one town.
Moving further along the wasteland, I reached a tower village, where the computer built a Fort. Next to it is an external dwelling of giants. In the underground treasure zone, I see a Dragon Utopia, but I don't know how to reach it, I ran into the treasure zone, but it turned out to be the wrong one. The treasure zone is worthless, little useful stuff.
Further along the wasteland, through rocks and swamps, I ran into the darkness towards where the entrance to the treasure zone with the Dragon Utopia should have been. I reached it on day 213, found two Dragon Utopias, they gave the Books of Air and Water, the Thunder Helmet, and the Titan's Sword. No Town Portal, Nila has no Earth magic. In the last slot, an unwanted Pathfinding comes.
Slowly, I press the remaining computers, find another untouched treasure zone (I was very surprised that in the end I got four treasure zones out of eight, considering that since the third week I had absolutely no control of the situation). In that treasure zone, I took the Cloak of Abdication and shook some Hives. Overall, the situation is as follows: I have four ranged stacks (Titans, Gremlins, Archeri, and Mages), for which I need the Angelic Alliance and the Red Orb. The Angelic Alliance is not assembled, no Red Orb. I can only win in a Castle, wearing the Pendant and Necklace protecting against lightning. The opponent has a fat stack of demons.
A bit later, the Angelic Alliance finally gets assembled (though I never took the helmet, but I saw where it was and could have taken it any day), but the Red Orb apparently wasn't on the map...
The opponent doesn't show control, so on the sixth week I got bold and entered his treasure zone, managed to take a single Conservatory, and then Gunnisson revealed control, and I couldn't avoid the battle on day 227. In the end, with mass Haste, I cut down two Devils, two Angels, 10 Pits, and 20-30 birds. And I bought peace for a hundred grand.
After that, I had plans for the Dragon Utopia. I could see an unopened Pandora's Box next to it, and I thought the Dragon Utopia was also unopened, but it turned out to be behind the keymaster's tent. In the tower, I built Town Portal, Clavius got Earth magic, enabling at least some teleportation.
Then we exchanged towns back and forth. I was thinking about how to position myself favorably in a Castle, but it never worked out. Eventually, on day 236, I sent Clavius to replenish mana in a town without a guild, and in the end, I had to change plans. Nila killed an enemy scout and went for the Library. To avoid taking the Library before breaking the guard, I had to spend movement points. A +2 speed Cape was revealed. I didn't want to leave it for the opponent, so I took it, and in the end, I neither entered the Library nor could cast Town Portal. That's when I was caught. In that battle, no chance, of course; I didn't have enough gold to buy peace for everything, bought peace with whatever was left, thought for a couple of minutes, and quit the game.
However, I was curious whether the Red Orb was lying somewhere, so I started looking at the map. I entered the Dragon Utopia behind the keymaster, and it was empty. Valenok had taken it with Fly, without visiting the tent. The Dragon Utopia gave a Chalice, Sandals, and the Titan's Cuirass. So, this is a technical loss based on a rules violation.
Thanks for the game.

However, I was curious if there was a red sphere somewhere, so I started looking at the map. I went into the dungeon for the keymaster, but it was empty. The opponent took it from the air, without visiting the tent. The dungeon gave a teapot, sandals, and a titan's cuirass. In total, this is a technical defeat based on a violation of the rules.
Thank you for the game.
