Thanks for the game!
The first week was tough; Kreg with diplomacy, a severe shortage of resources. I built Ogres with a hidden stash. Somehow, I managed to get going in the second week, and early in the week, I found a scroll with damage-dealing spells. The progress was mediocre, and I was constantly short on money. I only finished building the guild by the third week. By that time, an opponent rushed along the fast routes to the zone where I was gathering Cyclops and from which I planned to fly to a rich treasure location, captured the city.
I couldn't bring reinforcements from my main city because I couldn't maintain a chain along the long routes. I decided to gather as much meat as possible and head for the final battle, knowing that the advantage was on the opponent's side (a decent stack of demons, and plenty of other units). I was hoping for luck and the -2 morale debuff on the opponent, as well as having both mass slow and mass haste spells. The final battle was quite interesting; we exchanged blows almost evenly. But the opponent had enough units left to continue the pressure.
I tried to fight a little longer with two damage-dealing units, but without much success. I'm short on money, and mana is also scarce. I don't have enough units to properly capture cities, and the opponent controls half the map with the potential to create even more demons. Thanks for the game!
