Masha surprised me a bit on the bridge, essentially removing all the templates, leaving three templates that were ideal in my opinion against Flax - Skirmish, Jebus Cross, Balance. After eliminating Skirmish, I was left with a choice between Jebus Cross or Balance; from my experience on Balance, external dwellings and conservatories often spawn on respawns, so the double dungeon looked more attractive than a random Jebus Cross, so we played Balance.
I had to take a painful 112 restart due to a loss (I went into conservatory 2 and couldn't handle it), before that also a 111, it would have been unpleasant to catch a total crap because of this, but in the end I got lucky. On the respawn there's an external dwelling of Minotaurs, a conservatory two, though very few Troglodytes and the roads are very crooked.
I struggled with a lack of money the first week, built/portal-summoned Minotaurs, leveled up secondary heroes, picked up a box for 5k along the way, another cos one, a couple of Dwarves. I haven't seen such a bad Shacti in a long time, first it pushes Leadership, then Artillery, then Earth, Intelligence, and Fire. Well, at least there is Mass Slow, and thanks for that.
On 123 I break 27 Royal Snakes in the center, in the center I pick up a Sword +2+2, find a passage to the super treasure zone and a conservatory in the sands.
On my turn, Mullich bursts into the center, but after breaking through the GO, he essentially stops at the entrance. His army there is 5 Birds, a couple of Angels, about 40 Air Elementals and some misc, my stats are slightly higher, by 1-2 at most. My army has 3 Angels, 24 Royal Snakes, and misc. In theory, the Minotaurs should have crushed everything, but I was afraid of Mullich with his +2 Speed, and who knows what magic he has there, I decide to just go into the treasure zone carelessly.
Mullich didn't chase me, he decided to capture all my towns, as usually happens on Balance - quite vainly. After 5 days he brought 70 Dwarves, - and I even managed to catch Mullich with all my strength, before the start of the new week, he conceded.

Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game!

We have a save with Kober at level 217, and we won't be able to finish up to level 23. Please give us some time to finish the game.

I dodged on infernal luck and Papal speed for Amilu.
The road block gave Red a week's head start. Kirry carried difficult fights purely on a handful of Grands, Luna slowly gained momentum, and only by the middle of the 2nd week did the block of dead horses fall. On 127 I take the orange Castle, with an army of 30 Grands and 10 Dwarves))
Then I ramped up, a few preserves, beehives, the 1st Dragon Utopia and a very lucky one. Ring of the Air, Cloak of Magic and the 2nd pair of Boots that sealed the deal.
On 141 Red showed up where I planned to send Luna. If he had appeared a day later, I wouldn't have been able to buy myself out. But I figured I could reach both the Daddy and the Hog with Mooshna on the last move and attacked. There were about a hundred and fifty Demons, a few Angels, 20 Vivi. GG.

Thanks for the game.

Dirty took all the respawn points, then I didn't like any of the generated maps, we rerolled, and started again.

I'm doing great, I have a team with 50 creatures and a lot of might, and I'm about to attack on turn 121.
But my opponent is having trouble with both the map and the heroes :D

Thanks for the game!

Many, many demons.
