The opponent got unlucky with the loot on respawn, as a result, ГО was broken through by some miracle, but the opponent tried their best. And in the center, a trololo awaited them in the form of a central village hidden in a neighboring zone.
Thanks for the game!

Tough start. On turn 114, I had to defeat 16 Monarchs for a single road, losing 80 skeletons in the process. But then things started to turn around. I captured castles, gained control, and reached my opponent. Dark decided not to continue.

Thank you.

Thank you for the game.

Bought a Castle for 4k and a color for 400. The first week was very tough at first, but I also dug up a couple of treasure zones, a Cloak of Necromancy, and managed to take down a 121 turquoise Inferno with Klava at home. Liches and Vampires in the Citadel. On the second week, I also took down a purple Barbarian, Griffin Conservatories 1+3, built Municipalities everywhere with a 10k gold chest, and went into the super treasure zone in the middle of the week. There I scouted 2 Dragon Utopias and one in the adjacent crossroads of the purple player. I didn't have much to take them with yet, since I had no artifacts for stats. In the treasure zone, another chest with 15k gold, boots, and on day 127 I camp at the far Dragon Utopia, planning to take it with a supply run.
On his turn, Pirr shows up and stands a couple of moves away in the adjacent zone from the Dragon Utopia with a bunch of Wyverns, a couple of Angels, and a bunch of Demons. My stats 8-9-9-5 against my none at all. Plan changes, I take the Dragon Utopia with Klava without armor, something like 6-5 with Advanced Shield: 370 Skeletons, 4 Angels, and 4 Wyverns for the cleanup. Minimum roll. -120 Skeletons, Wyverns. But I got КВ :smile14:
Next is a very productive turn, I bring growth from home for the cleanup. 6 Horsemen, Vampires, etc. Ciele, who the previous turn captured a pink Conflux with 2 Efreeti, takes from there 12 Water Elementals, 6 Earth Elementals for cleanup, and with a broken Air Book jumps to the Dragon Utopia in the adjacent zone. Ciele's stats 1-2 :smile21: with Basic Armor and Expert Water. The Dragon Utopia is a minimum roll, killed 2 Horsemen, an Angel, all the cleanup, and another 80 Skeletons. :eek:
On the last moves, I have enough Fly to reach the well next to the Dragon Utopia. So it ended up 1-3-6-180, 270 Skeletons, 4 Horsemen, and 3 Angels with two single Efreeti and an Imp for 550. Left 10k+ for the buyback. On his turn, Pirr attacks with 48+1+1+1 Demons, 30 Wyverns, and 3 Angels. I shot back with the Imp, cut down 21 Wyverns, 29 Demons, the ballista, and a couple of Angels, and bought myself back, leaving 2 Angels and 80 Skeletons to spin up. Immediate surrender follows.
Thank you for the game!

Thanks for the game.

1 unit on the starting location... thanks for the game.

Thank you for the game. I'm done.

We decided to negotiate. I gave up red Rampart for roughly 3500 (I don't remember exactly — we played with a long break).
The start didn't look promising: Dungeon, no dwellings, both mines blocked by wyverns. After the only underground gate, an immediate block towards the treasure zone (50-99 orcs). My mood finally dropped after a stupid loss of an efreet in a crypt. I bet on demons, since the native computer was playing as Rampart. What saved me was that gold was scattered around a lot, enough for buying and demonizing. In the end, the first Griffin Conservatory (2) on day 132. Then it immediately became easier and faster. On day 137 I owned 6 towns with an income of 11000 per turn =) The same day, scouting reported a Dragon Utopia near the treasure village. While building a chain there, I gathered 7 more angels. Dragon Utopia max: Crown +4+4, Sword of Judgment, Tome of Water (though I already had Teleport).
The opponent offered a draw. After some debate, I agreed.

Thanks for the game! =)
See you!

I didn't get any Elves due to the block. I scouted little because of 20+ Mages, but the object density is high - 4 Hives, 2 Griffin Conservatories. I also found a box of 50 Dwarves. In the Tavern I hired Gunnar, who was slow to level at first, but then got Earth magic and turned around. On day 122 I broke through via a double ГО (Angels with Haste, Gold Dragons), sacrificing all the meat. I have 5 Angels and 30 Wyverns left. On day 123 I saw the opponent; between us there is a box and a +4 All Stats Shield guarded by 100+ Scorpicores. I broke through, sacrificing 5 Wyverns. In the box I got 3 Archangels. I attacked the opponent. My stats were higher thanks to the shield, and my army was slightly larger due to the Archangels and Angels. The opponent had roughly the same number of Dwarves, 16 Scorpicores, and 250 Troglodytes. In the final battle, the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game.
