Good fit for the army, huge and rich respawn, built birds in Castle + external dwellings of birds and wolves, on the second week without mass magic took down a level 3 Griffin Conservatory and set off on a journey across the map, successfully found a passage to the opponent and managed to reach him by the end of the week.
Thanks for the game!

Carried as best I could with a poor setup. The first week ended 1-4 in the citadel and 4 heroes, but I saw great prospects in the form of a bunch of troglodyte Griffin Conservatories. Luna leveled correctly, picking up Offense; at the start of the 2nd week I bought her Earth Magic, building a University. But there's no Slow anywhere, so I had to trail to my computer via the middle roads. I already had scrolls of Town Portal and Summon Fire Elemental. I was 2-3 days short of building the 5th level of Mage Guild and capturing at least a couple of Griffin Conservatories — then the opponent's arrival wouldn't have been a problem. But I wasn't given a chance. Thanks for the game!
