Thank you for the game.

The start was very meager! I barely managed to scrape together enough money for the Nixies. But I was lucky that I snatched the main dock from the computer and gathered a good stack of pirates. A couple of cons, hives, workshops, and then I headed for the treasure. That's where the war between the losers began. They slaughtered many of each other's losers. Then in Dragon Utopia I found КВ and crushed the opponent.
Thanks for the game.

Verdish arrived with a couple of flies, built Lizards. Upgraded the Lizards, took 2 spellcasters, and deep in the spawn area, found Peppers for 70 and Dogs. He left the spawn area at level 116, going through blocking Gargoyles and 19 upgraded Vassals, with almost complete losses (0 0 Brissa rules). At level 121, Gervulf arrived. Later, at level 40 with upgraded Archers, he lost to a Duck (he could have avoided losing, but the situation demoralized him), didn't make it to the computer, who hoarded resources and stole another Duck from him. Then, with 2 Ducks and 30 Lizards, he wandered around, watched the blockades, built 4 GMs with Resurrection, but due to the lack of any objects and prospects, he surrendered. Not in vain, he saw in the tavern that things weren't great there either, but the game was already picking up.
Thank you for the game.

I found with obs 2 cons, 2 utopias and 2 angel dwells 111 with obs but everything was very far so as I was playing castle fantastic chainwork was crucial. Risking at crypts with small army I managed to build angels in town 115 (I lacked 8k this day and found this all with scouts, very lucky). With angel took pandora behind 30 up griffs which gave experience. Since the road to one angels dwell was blocked I lacked 1 tile to get there so the plan changed. For 2nd dwell I went with my main Tyraxor, firstly hive, it was mini. So after all, I had 1 angel, 4 wyvs and standard castle meat. Attacked pack battle unicorns that blocked the access to angels dwell guarding 2 pandoras and suicided there 116. 117 Tyraxor was placed just in front of second block for this dwell - horde of orcs. I built castle w1 so had 2 angels and started the job. I saw 121 that my army (only 2 angels) was stronger that opp's so I assumed later he suicided too as his turns were very fast later. Firstly took hive losing archers and monks, got 8 wyvs. With this army went for a dwell. Took it, army to scout to take another hive, mini. Next turn took con that gave 2 angels (checked it earlier). Chain back to town, Tyraxor retreated waiting at town and with scout took 11 black knights guarding pandora (left it for Tyraxor) and 1st level hero in prison. I really needed experience in that box as Tyraxor had adv earth and maxi con was awaiting and 5k experience came. Took maxi con losing 4 pikemen. Went up to desert, took another con with 2 angels. Break, saw a tope. Plan was 126 to take another town in desert, set chain for 127 so that I take angels dwell, army back to starting town and with Tyraxor I will take 2 topes. Then upgrading 18 angelss (had 11, +4 from town, +3 from dwells) and then army back into center and taking another tope with Tyraxor. But opponent gave up 126.
At the beginning it was very hard zone but also very good on the whole. It was just about playing well 1st week then it was perfect situation. I played it partially perfect (really it was hard to collect enough money) but the suicide for sure wasn't part of it. But I came back and I'm glad from the result. I think I will play this map few times more as taking 2 dwells 1st week was very challenging.

Unplayable setup with a long path leading to the exit from a one-way passage. Thank you for your time.
