Op chose all restarts, and I took 3. Kira showed up in the tavern, and I decided to play. Level 2 for the log (Logistics), then I had to give up Earth (Magic) twice in a row. Good call, because joins immediately followed. Rich respawn, about 8-9 Dragon Fly Hives were there. I gathered as many as I could (35) and went for the Treasure. Along the way, I also looted a Fly scroll. Kira in the meantime learned Earth Magic, and we went to scout the opponent.
+2 Speed along the way, and I blanket the entire army with the scout hero. 2 angels each, ducks (Monks/Marksmen?) twice as many + 40 Grands (Grand Elves?) + 50 Dwarves. In the final battle, I didn't even let them buy peace.
Postmortem revealed that it was good I didn't let them run wild. There was a Dimension Door scroll and 2 good Dragon Utopias, the only ones on the entire map.
Thanks for the game!
