My opponent was much better at this.
Maybe the thieves from the Refuge helped a little :rolleyes:, but most likely it was just more experience.
In the end, with 5 heroes and full control, I tried to maneuver and simultaneously take cities from my opponent to make it less comfortable for him, and clear out treasure locations, knowing that I was far behind in army size and stats. I had a plan to steal phoenixes with an Arcomage and add my main army with AotD, but there was also full control, and they quickly overwhelmed me. And my 100 sharpshooters probably wouldn't have been able to handle 170 greater cyclops and 15 titans from my opponent, even with AotD. Their stats were twice as high, and they had a golden bow (taken right in front of my eyes).
This was my first attempt on Anarchy, and I hope it's the last. :D
