The game turned out on an XL+U map because we only noticed the inaccuracy by turn 116:D

We split, a good layout with 2 external cat dwellings at the computer. I built them in the computer's fort plus a portal.
On week 2, 18 cats took a small hive in a treasure zone, which had a quick exit. There was also a cons, but the 10+ gr efreet scared me off.
Returning the army home, I took 2 cons 2+4 without much trouble, essentially sacrificing meat plus a couple of cats at max.
Then Pyre broke into the barb computer's territory and seized his castle. There, ruhs are built in the citadel and everything is bought up.
Next turn, Kyrre wiped out and went into the treasure zone. Right at the start, he killed bone dragons for all the air in a pandora's box. He found a library, a hive, and basically that was it. At the start of week 3, with a supply line, I break a Dragon Utopia, which gives stats. That was roughly the save point.
After loading, the unrestrained fun began. I attacked my GO of arch devils without 'ozher' (overwhelming force?), result: -2 angels and a couple of cats :(
I advanced air and flagged the red tiles in the center of the treasure zone, so immediately the next target is the opponent's treasure zone, which is across a mountain and is quite large.
Right away there's a prison and a Dragon Utopia. A turn later, I settled into a village. Here, I scouted a Dragon Utopia, and is it time? I also scout another Dragon Utopia not far away in my home treasure zone.
Kirre split to replenish mana, while the 'moshna' with artifacts stayed in the village.
Next comes an epic moment: the castle had 2 'loshki' and 1 of them had tactics. Near the village were gold dragons; I was planning to transfer artifacts to Kirre and got wiped out by a hero without tactics :smile04:
I was ready to write GG, but decided to check the Dragon Utopia. I bought fairy chickens in the village and, after breaking the vampire guard, I gave them to a scout nearby. I killed the Dragon Utopia by summoning fairy chickens, and the scout finished off 1 green there. It dropped Titan's Cuirass and Captain's Hat, and a 'dolphin' was lying in one of my treasure zones. Realizing it was Admiral's Hat made me understand that all was not lost! :D
Next, with that money, I try to unearth a hero, and my excavations are successful :rolleyes:
With all the artifacts, the next Dragon Utopia is taken next, KZ + wings and a +5 all sword from a 'loshkom'. Meanwhile, I messed up again and exposed myself to the opponent's 'moshna'. If he had shackles, it would be over without options, because there are 11 arch devils, but it turned out okay. On turn 137, I took 2 Dragon Utopias + 3 angel external dwellings, and things started looking up. On week 4, in the opponent's castle, I upgraded the angels and went to clean up the remaining treasure zones while also rebuilding a castle village.
In the next treasure zone, I found boots +2 all + 2 bear external dwellings, which I also started rebuilding. In two turns' time, Kirre was running around at 4500mp, and there's another treasure zone that the red player is actively invading. The treasure zone is very rich — 4 Dragon Utopias, cons, several hives. I managed to grab 2 Dragon Utopias and a small cons.
From one of the Dragon Utopias, a 'teapot' dropped, and now I have an alliance + KS.
The village remained neutral, so I went to finish off everything I had left behind.
On turn 147, I decided to stay overnight in my castle just in case.
After buying up, supplying, and upgrading all the angels, there were almost 30. I next seized a swamp and upgraded the 'utok' (ducks/behemoths?).
Then a couple more days of running around, and Maretti for some reason needed my main. There were still 'drov' (dwarves?) in the citadel, not even pegasi :D
I picked up a Sniper's Crossbow with around 60 fanatics, upgraded the bears (there were 9 of them now), and attacked.
Kirre had 1400+ mana, combat stats over 40, +3 speed.
The army consisted of 60 fanatics, 9 gray (behemoths?), 31 gr (upgraded?) ments, 30 arch devils, 88 gr 'utok', 30 gr cats, and 10 gr flies.
The opponent had 38-43 (approximately) 14 gr hydras, 18 arch devils, 110 gr 'utok', 30 'pots', 30 marks, under 20 champs.
In the first round, I used wait to cut down the horses and blinded the arch devils. Flies removed the retaliation from the 'utok', but I could only attack with arch devils — dealing -20. I also had major problems with damage, and it got even worse after the opponent's shield.
In the 2nd round, I put up my own shield and continued cutting down the 'utok'. The ments held the line perfectly against the hydras for the time being.
After that, we exchanged 'oil', and I started pinging with 'bolt' for 900 (dealing more damage than my arch devils :D )
After finishing off the 'utok' and arch devils, I cleaned up the hydras and started shooting them with 'Disintegrating Ray', after which the opponent surrendered.

TFP!

The only exit from our area is a one-way door, and it goes through a swamp, making the route very inefficient. The opponent quickly gathered a lot of dragons and 3 angels, blocking my development route, so I had to surrender!
thx for game

Thank you for the game.

I took Utopia and stood at the exit to the center.
It didn't work for my opponent.
Thanks for the game.

Not Beckham's day.

Thanks for the game.

Standard theme - a one-way blocked the exit to the center, and from control they only built TP. In short, despite having an army advantage, there was no way to break out beyond the respawns available along the road. Seeing how the same old losers jump like grasshoppers, I surrendered. My pathetic 2 Dragon Utopias against the opponent's 8 were nothing.

RE-CON-STRUC-TION!!!!

Thanks for the game.

Thank you for the game!

Generated 2 home Dragon Utopias and 3 external dwellings of bears, all taken on the first week.
On 127 entered the center with full control, 24,19 stats.
Near the central Castle on 131 saw Shakti and attacked, putting on the red orb since mana was less than ten. 6 Behemoths, 3 Angels, 130 Goblin Wolf Riders. The opponent had a Miner (10,12), 9 Manticores, 3 Angels, 160 Troglodytes, 30 Evil Eyes, 8 Harpies.
After Fireball, Miner retreats with 3 Manticores and 10 Eyes, but in his home Dragon Utopia he gets two artifacts for water and he surrenders. Thanks for the game.
