Thx for game.

Thanks for the game!

The opponent decided to play defensively with a good setup, then lost. I had a bad game, so gg.

They played without rules, I saw Adela, and realized everything was bad. Thanks for the game.

Thank you for the game.

It gave chocolate: lots of meat, Kyrre, Luna, 2 Griffin Conservatories, one Dragon Fly Hive, one external dwelling each of spearmen, archers, and swordsmen, enough gold, and a nearby stable and market. The roads were also good - not long and with an immediate fork. I scouted and found that both Griffin Conservatories were level 1, quickly leveled Luna's fire magic, and farmed 6 skill points from the upgrade structures. I was ready to go with Luna to take the Griffin Conservatories on day 114, but I made a poor attack on her with air elementals - it turned out to be a shooter stack. On day 116 I captured a computer opponent - Tower. In the end, I took the Griffin Conservatories and the Dragon Fly Hive with growth on day 121 (horses in the Citadel and upgraded them at the stable) - I got 2 angels and 9 Wyverns.
In the second week, I started clearing the central treasure zone, but couldn't find anything worthwhile there. On day 124 I was near the opponent and should have pushed through to him further, but who knew. In the end, I turned around from the treasure zone and went to the next computer opponent, since I spotted a Griffin Conservatory and a Dragon Utopia there. On day 126 I captured the computer opponent and saw another Griffin Conservatory at his respawn.
I started the third week by taking 2 Griffin Conservatories at the computer's respawn, resulting in the following army: 50 grand archers, 9 Wyverns, 5 grand horses, and 6 angels. Then I defeated Kyrre and moved the army to the next central treasure zone. In it, I found 2 Dragon Fly Hives, 4 Griffin Conservatories, an external dwelling of Phoenixes, and a Conflux village.
On day 141 I had an army of 17 angels, 19 Wyverns, 2 Phoenixes, and some meat. On the downside, I didn't find control and didn't place angels in the Castle. I moved the entire army to take the Dragon Utopia at the computer's respawn and then planned to clear the corner treasure zone behind the computer. In the level 3 Dragon Utopia I found a Golden Bow, a Shield +4 all, and a Captain's Hat. A couple of days' travel away from me on day 144 the opponent appeared with his entire chain. His army was 20+ Wyverns, 5+ angels, 50+ demons, 20+ grand Pits on Gunnar. Stats were roughly equal: 14 14 9 9. I decided not to try to engage but to continue clearing the treasure zone. In the treasure zone I found a Griffin Conservatory, a Dragon Utopia, and a Dragon Fly Hive. The opponent revealed that he had air control. I ended the week by taking a level 3 Dragon Utopia, in which I found КЗ, plate armor +12 skill, and a sword +6.
At the start of the second month, I continued clearing the treasure zone. The game gave me air control in a Pandora's Box - all air. However, I couldn't fully take it because Kyrre didn't have expert wisdom. Then, searching for control, I went to clear my corner treasure zone, but it was underground. I had nothing else to do, as it seemed, so I almost completely cleared it. I found a couple of Griffin Conservatories, a couple of hives, and a level 3 Dragon Utopia. It gave a shield +12 and a jacket +4 attack and defense. Simultaneously with all
this, I somehow managed to send a scout with a small army into one of the treasure zones, and there I wandered looking for a town I could capture with a small army and then Town Portal to with Kyrre. The search was complicated by the fact that the roads in the treasure zone were blocked, and I didn't have leveled air magic on any hero to see the air.
On day 221 I had the following army: 4 Phoenixes, 40 Wyverns, 12 Archers, and 12 angels. I also had a level 5 Mage Guild built in the Tower with a library, but it didn't give anything interesting. Around the beginning of the week, I captured another computer opponent. And I was planning to go to the next treasure zone - on rocks without roads, luckily I had expert pathfinding. Plans changed because the scout finally found a town in the treasure zone and managed to capture it. While he was searching, 2 Dragon Utopias, 3 hives, boots, and a bunch of Pandora's Boxes were revealed. In the end, on day 222 I sent Kyrre there.
By the end of the second week of the second month, I cleared the treasure zone, found wings in one of the Dragon Utopias and shackles on the ground, and also replenished the army with several hives and Griffin Conservatories. On day 227, the opponent Gunnar was almost right next to my main town. My army at that time consisted of 31 archangels, 58 Wyverns, 4 Phoenixes, 13 grand horses, 20 crusaders with Kyrre's stats 28 20 16 19. The enemy Gunnar had 24 24 19 17 and an army of approximately 300 demons, 40 Wyverns, 15 angels, 70 grand Pits, several grand Efreeti and Manticores. I definitely decided that I was lucky and should attack before he demon-summoned even more and went to collect more with control. However, I miscalculated the movement points and was 1 diagonal move short.
Then on day 231 I made a big mistake by leaving my hero to spend the night outside the main town, thus giving the Castle to the opponent. He upgraded half of the angels in it. Also, the enemy's stats increased somewhat. Kyrre couldn't reach the enemy at all, but I decided to leave the hero so that by the next turn I could definitely retake the Castle. In the end, on day 232 the opponent left Gunnar with the entire army to spend the night in the Castle. As planned, I attacked him, knowing I would most likely lose, but there was no point in delaying further: the enemy's army was growing faster than mine due to demon-summoning.
The final battle: Kyrre [28 21 16 19] 31 archangels, 58 Wyverns, 4 Phoenixes, 13 grand horses, 20 crusaders vs Gunnar [27 29 21 28] 334 demons, 11 archangels, 6 angels, 42 Wyverns, 72 grand Pits, 18 Manticores, 15 grand Efreeti. I lost it without a chance.
Perhaps if I hadn't made the mistake and could have reached Gunnar on day 227, I would have had significantly more chances to win. Thanks for the game!

Again, useless roads for blue, but I managed to gather a thousand bones with the cloak by the beginning of turn 3. I spotted the only Utopia far from the one-way path and ran towards it. There were some resources on the Utopia, and I was attacked by Kir with 240 mana. I had to pay him off with 500 bones. There were also some resources left there: 14 ducks and 10 horses. Kir also spotted this Utopia from afar and ran towards it. There were 2 more units on it: 6 angels and ducks, which allowed me to take this key Utopia 2 with Growth and Wealth. Without control, there was nothing else to do.
Thanks for the game!

Thx for game.
