From day one, Luna appeared, right next to the castle was a level 2 Griffin Conservatory, so I went to collect all the chests with Luna. In the adjacent zone, in the first cart I found a Breastplate +3 to Spell Power. By day 6, Luna finally maxed out Fire and 8 Spell Power, and I took the Griffin Conservatory. By mid-second week, I reached the center, had a quick path to the opponent's castle, captured it, and went back to search for the opponent, but he found me himself, and the final battle took place. In it, I easily defeated Tazar with 20 Lizardmen, 5 Wyverns, and a few miscellaneous units, using 2 Angels, 4 Wyverns, 3 Unicorns, and 41 Marksmen. Thanks for the game!

09/22/2016 kesa (Blue, Swamp, Tazar) loses to Ambra (Red, Dungeon, Shakti) on Jebus Cross 124.
Good start with a box on day 1, 45 degrees, Lizards. Also, a small Hive and a Deviling of Vivs were revealed, and Tazar got Logistics. On day 2, nothing was found except a couple of boxes and a Conservatory of level 1. Tazar collected the boxes and got 60 points of Flies. On day 116, a Deviling of Hydras, a Conservatory of level 3, and a Utopia were found in the far corner of the spawn. After getting another Hive, I was going to take the Utopia on 121, but it turned out to be a maximum-level one. I retreated home and on 122, I faced 4 Angels, 2 Hydras, 21 points of Wyverns + a lot of meat. I went to the center through the rough terrain, passing by the Rusty Dragons. Nearby was a Utopia + a box for 22 Red Dragons with a greased stack; the box contained 20k gold. The opponent already had good stats and more meat. I went into the Utopia, which was also a maximum-level one, losing all the meat of one Angel and 4 Ducks. I got a +12 -3 sword, a hat for level 5, and, most importantly, the Captain's Hat. The next day, I surrendered.

I got lucky with the layout. On the very first day, near the Castle, I picked up Boots of Speed with a laughable guard (Gnolls). I upgraded the Elves and took a Griffin Conservatory (level 1). Then a small Dragon Fly Hive, and on day 5, I broke through a pack of Cerberi and also got the Gauntlets of Speed. There was also an external dwelling of Draconians there, but since I had upgraded the Elves, the Draconians wouldn't join... Then I broke through the Wizards and took another Dragon Fly Hive — again a small one. I didn't see any more Griffin Conservatories or Dragon Fly Hives, so I decided to develop through Unicorns. Luckily, there were 2 external dwellings, but I messed up and didn't manage to claim the second one in time. Instead, I discovered another Griffin Conservatory and 3 Dragon Fly Hives in a far, inconvenient part of the spawn. Finally, I learned Town Portal (Earth magic was Expert for a while, but Town Portal itself was absent for a long time). Taking the Griffin Conservatory (again level 1) and 2 Dragon Fly Hives, I went to hit the GO. The GO was easy — unupgraded Nagas. I broke through without any problems and reached the center on day 1/2/3(?). I wanted to break through the Hydras too, to gain levels and ensure a clear path along the road, but the timer ran out, and I had to go around. I took the Dungeon and built a Double Mana. The center turned out to be quite poor in Dragon Fly Hives and Griffin Conservatories, but there were plenty of Dragon Utopias. In the first Dragon Utopia, I found the КВ, but there were almost no stat-boosting artifacts. I took a second one — it was full of junk. A large part of my army perished in the Dragon Utopias; only the main striking stacks remained — Swift Angels, Dragons. I eventually found a couple of Dragon Fly Hives and Griffin Conservatories, but they were all small. I decided I needed to upgrade the Dragons (since there were only 4 Angels, and only 1 was lost during the whole game, while there should have been 6 Dragons by week 3), but I had no resources. By the end of week 2, I took another Castle in the center, and by the start of week 3, my opponent entered the center with upgraded Titans. Taking yet another Dragon Utopia, I retreated to the Dungeon, built a Marketplace, sold off artifacts and scrolls, and upgraded the Dragons, moving them back and forth along the chain. The opponent took Tower, grabbed the Cape, and apparently holed up there to replenish mana. I realized I had to attack — luckily, by that time I significantly outmatched the opponent in stats, and I had plenty of mana due to the Double Mana. I managed to run up and attack literally on the last movement point. The opponent turned out to be completely out of mana and surrendered, as there was no chance.
Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game.

22.09.2016 h3pro (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Dessa) lose Izgoy (red, Dungeon, Shakti) JC 126
Dessa came in, quickly expertised Log Offense and Defense, but there turned out to be not a single external dwelling nor stat artifacts on the respawn, only 3 Dragon Fly Hives and 3 Griffin Conservatories. Due to the bad placement of the Dragon Fly Hives and 1 Griffin Conservatory, I wasted a lot of time in the swamp, expertised Earth for Dessa and Tazik only on 125. On 126 I decided to take a risk and capture a level 5 Dragon Utopia))) surrendered on 126.
Thanks for the game
