I saw the exterior of the dragons, whose guard—a pack of nagas—blocked the path to the sawmill, but I still started playing, even though there were no archers from the start. However, Moandor arrived, and then Gosha. On the stone adjacent zone there were only monoliths, but there was an external market. In general, the development was banal—horses in the Castle. There is a Town Portal scroll. A Dragon Utopia in the underground, next to a barbarian village. There was no fast road to the opponent, and the reds themselves discovered themselves on the territory of the brown barbarian. And at that moment, if Galtran had been nearby, they could have finished it. Gosha went to clear out the underground. Then, in the same direction but from above, the red necromancers moved in, who were killed—minus 220 bones. I also got a spare portal scroll. In the first Dragon Utopia, a three-star [spell], there was a Book of Earth, already not particularly needed, except for raising skeletons. Enemy scouts, coming from all sides, were beaten. Well, then the reds, seeing the hopelessness, conceded defeat. Thanks for the game.

Had money problems early,had to fight shooters with the small army i had.I didnt see hives and only 1 cons,so i was hoping to farm skeletons.Early week 2 i lost 2 nagas so that slowed me down a bit.126 first cons,meanwhile i built up my mage guild in tower.Was hoping for DD or fly,got TP and fly.Early w3 i entered treasure zone,took 2 topes,but was still struggling with speed (no logistics,no boots/stables,nothing).Tazar had full speed :) After mana was gone,had to TP back and continue clearing tres zone.Late w3 Opp took my main castle but i took it back 137.I took 5 more topes and some hives,managed to get bit better stats than taz,but was way behind in army and speed.Finally after some running around he catches me at 147 and :smile10:
GG!

In the first generation, I got a "kill everything" starter set – 52 elves on level 112, a Necropolis and 2 mini-cons, but my opponent's "intuition kicked in," and he took level 113. Then I restarted three times; each time, the starting conditions were decent in terms of troops and money, but only one primary con was found on level 113. After that, I gathered troops and looked for control points; the nearest Dragon Utopia was far away or a week's journey. Towards the end, the Necropolis player found one not too far away. He tried to take it with his main force (there was also a large treasure chest there) and was caught by Craig with full control over his main army. It all happened because of rushing – I could have held out with a scout and escaped tactically; my stats and army were 1.5-2 times better, but what good are they if you make mistakes...

31 archer, Shiva, and a Griffin Conservatory showed up, I decided to play. Very little money, the road to the teleport was long, but the junction with access to the center and my own opponent's town was quite good (though it's blocked by a horde of gr. pegasi).
As a result, on the 1st week I headed towards the purple bot, which turned out to be Inferno. I sit down on day 117 in a Castle town, everything there is set up for Efreeti, so I hire them instead of Horses.
Very little army, the home Griffin Conservatory turned out to be 3+, Mass Slow isn't maxed, so I decide to start with Dragon Fly Hives, I take two - 6+6 and prepare to break back home. At this time, Tyris jumps out of the teleport with decent stats and an army of 5-9 Angels, 1-4 Fire Birds, 5-9 Psychos, and a zoo with good combat stats. We're screwed :(
I break back into the Castle with an under-leveled Earth Magic and get ready to dump into the max-level Conservatory, but the last fight finally gives me the coveted skill and the level 3 spells go down without issue.
Meanwhile, Tyris without a spellbook (as revealed later) got cold feet and broke back home :p
My Shiva with 3400 MP flies to the two scouted Griffin Conservatories and a Dragon Utopia, collecting money chests along the way. But the Conservatories turned out to be level 1, and there's nothing to do in a Dragon Utopia with such a setup.
The plan changes - on the Inferno side there's another Conservatory and a Dragon Utopia near the far corner village. As a result, I break in with Shiva into Inferno, but I make a mistake by overestimating the army and rushing into the Conservatory without checking with a zero-level scout hero. Naturally, it's max level there, and the bot on quick combat loses without killing even half :D
With a heavy heart I start scraping by and barely pull it off, losing everything except 7 Efreeti Sultans and 4 Angels.
The main hero gets resupplied with power and dives into a level 2 Dragon Utopia. They reward royally: +2 all stats and a Ring of Greater Immunity :smile03:
But the opponent still has much more power. The plan is to demonize everything I have and by week 4 field a hundred Demons and Arch Devils.
Shiva runs to another corner village with 8 Angels while the rest of the crew is massing Demons in another corner of the map. In the corner village, we found a level 1 Dragon Utopia with a +4+4 Crown, which isn't that bad overall.
I Town Portal home and with the same 8 Angels run to 2 more revealed Dragon Utopias (in the very back of a huge respawn area).
In the first Dragon Utopia, a jackpot on stats: +6 and +3 all stats and a +12 Sword (I had no Sword or Pendant at all before this). As a result, the stats are already out of this world compared to the opponent's weak main hero.
The second Dragon Utopia gives an even more valuable Book of Air plus 2 level 2 Conservatories and an external Angel dwelling next to it.
As a result, by day 145 we have Shiva with 39 28, 14 Arch Devils, 97 Demons, 14 Efreeti Sultans, 3 Bears, and single Sultans, with full control and maximum movement range. :smile10:
I go visit the opponent; no one is there to meet me, all the troops are roaming around the orange and lilac respawn areas, no chains and no control.
And the next turn, an unexpected finale happened:
My level 1 Eleshar with Archery and 1+1+1+1+1+1+8 Centaurs against
an Aeres level 1 with Lightning and 4+4+4+3+3+3+3 Sprites.
Completely unexpectedly, I managed to pull it off. Having lost the key hero and most of the army, the opponent surrenders! :smile03:
Thank you for the game!

The opponent took all the rest stops, and the distribution was even worse. Meanwhile, I got my preferred companion. The auto-battle wasn't helpful. Thanks for the game!

Captured the green Conflux fairly quickly, and the next turn it shows the comp has equal castles, and the purple comp has fewer behind the swamp — scouted it, the passage is close, and from the middle of the second week I get a double. The path to the opponent was open through a one-way portal, but there was no point in going. After that I collected towns and massed skeletons. The draft was poor, no bottomless pit =) Had to go into a super treasure zone in the swamp, didn't manage to do much there because the opponent appeared. Month 2 — plagues =) he's very weak in power. He crashed, I brought reinforcements and finished him off.
Thanks for the game
