Thanks for the game!
We haggled down to 8500. I tried to go demon, because I only had an external dwelling of efreets that I found on turn 116 and two external dwellings of imps. By roundabout means, I reached the City of the Dead by turn 124. I ran through the center, captured the Air Elemental Conflux and a couple of Dragon Fly Hives. I saw the opponent, decided not to risk playing the finale without mana, since I hadn’t seen his army, and the stats were roughly equal. I replenished my mana and used Dimension Door from my secondary town to clear the center. In the finale, an explosion left no chance.
Thanks for the game!
