On the second turn, I started building Hives, captured another companion tower, where I began building a Guildhall, ran to the Super Treasure, ate some Hives there, and recruited a good mage who had Earth, Intelligence, and Air spells. I also ate all the boxes for Air and level 5 creatures, but he was defeated by the Grey faction. I miscalculated their speed, which was 7, and my super mage with a fake spell was killed, along with the boots he was wearing. I never recovered him.
I went to attack my opponent and was caught off guard by a Claw creature with 132 attack, which was very close and had over 200 mana, while I only had about 20. There weren't many troops, but they were supported by Imps, summons, and Resurrection. I didn't have enough money to bribe them. Fearing a wipe, I retreated with the only surviving stack of Vivs. I lost my entire army, which consisted of almost fifty ducks and 5 angels. The easy game turned into a hardcore one. Next, I rebuilt the Town Portal and Dungeon, which made things a little easier, but not much. Gurney didn't gain any Wisdom experience throughout the game; everything else was leveled up except for that. Dungeon was only available on Grindane, and later I also learned it on Solmyr. For more than a week, my opponent kept taking my towns, and I kept retaking them, and it became harder with each turn. On turn 146, my opponent camped in my main town with Angels. I flew in with Solmyr to try to outsmart him, but the Claw was supported by 2 Angels in one stack, so I bribed him because the chain attack only targeted one creature. Gurney arrived and, with the Oil of Blessing, killed him in one round. Artifacts dropped, and the game ended.
Thanks for the game!
