OFB-11!

I'll try to gather my thoughts, as I can't get over the shock. I was expecting at most a decent fight, but this!!
I played this template for the first time, not counting yesterday's practice with a couple of HWs.
So: We picked all rests, and in the overview across the mountains I spotted an Inferno treasure zone with a Dragon Utopia. Xi came in and started necromancying... Extremely unlucky - few bones, almost
the entire army except for 3 birds was lost
to neutrals. Through a two-way passage I ended up in the underground - spotted 2 Griffin Conservatories there, started moving in that direction, ignoring the rest. Turned out to be right - further on, both hives
were revealed,
and a passage to my home castle, and from it a bugged passage to another treasure zone with Dragon Utopias. The computer's Castle had an external market - bears were stationed in a fort on day 117,
but without buyout.
On week 2, traded to zero, took 2 tier-2 Griffin Conservatories and a couple of mini hives (10 tier-1 creatures) and moved to the lower treasure zone towards the Dragon Utopia. Meanwhile
, I see in the overview how Gunnar started scouring the Inferno treasure zone, but he has little army, can't take the Dragon Utopia. Dessa went into skill pumping (Archery, Artillery), complaining that I fed her a Pandora's Box with 15k.
I take the Dragon Utopias with Xi -
- his leveling is excellent - Earth Magic, Attack, just no Logistics. Catch - control is absent, no good artifacts (the best is Torso +4 Attack/Defense), on black markets I had to buy
even an Axe +2 to Attack.
I defeat Dessa into the computer's Castle (decided to finally cover her - Pandora's Boxes gave Marksmen, on the artifact merchant I bought artifacts for the Sharpshooter's Bow). I see Gunnar struggling, but his army
can't handle it. Obviously close - but not visible through the fog of war.
I cut Dessa's path into the Inferno treasure zone through a swamp adjacent zone - and right in the moves I cover a scout hero with power.
Thanks for the game!
