"only XL-5"

On the first [day], I took the Dragon Fly Hive and cleared a chest for 10k XP at the respawn. At the start of the second [day], I took the Griffin Conservatory double, cleared the Fly scroll, then went for the Hydras and grabbed the Necromancy Boots and the +3 Knowledge Hat. With 10 Mana, I attacked 10–19 Giants, where a GS turned up; I lost over 110 skeletons. I took the brown [player's town], and from there went to the orange [player], where my opponent was already present. I captured the town, killed part of the army and some peasants nearby, followed by a surrender.
Thanks for the game!
