After a couple of restarts, the game turned out quite well. x2 mana, watering hole, and level 2 conservation at the castle; in three days, I got 3 experienced workshops, conservation, 2 external dwellings with cyclopses, and 1 monster dwelling. In two weeks, I cleared this area, and halfway through week 3, I reached the center through Rukh, encountering another monster dwelling along the way. I entered the center a few turns before my opponent, taking 2 Dragon Utopias, a hat, Pandora's Box with earth, and angel wings. In one of the prisons, I found a scout who, after leveling up, worked like a portable scouting unit. I was lucky with entering the neighboring respawn – it was just two steps from my exit. I sent there some low-level units, found a castle, 2 external dwellings with angels, a dungeon, and a Dragon Utopia. I decided not to rush towards my opponent but instead clear the neighboring respawn and upgrade my archers. Until the very end, I hesitated to attack my opponent because, according to their stats, Valeska had 15 more attack points and 10 more defense than mine, while I only had 10 more spell power. Before the last increase, I took my opponent's capital, seized more archers, and started capturing castles one by one. By mid-week, my opponent made himself vulnerable for an attack, as there was no point in delaying any longer. In the final battle, my opponent equipped a red amulet; all my efforts to gain spell power were in vain =). Although my 70 cyclopses dealt the same damage as his 25, the large number of meat shields and bears with armor penetration resolved everything.
Excellent game; the intrigue lasted almost until the very last week. Thank you for the game!
