I paid 4800 for the Castle, it was tough. But I managed to kill the blue comp and find the tree for horses. There was a horse dwelling; by week 2 I had gathered gold objects, took the horse dwelling, and recruited some brawlers. In week 3 I built a Town Portal and leveled up Gunar and Labeta. Drowned ones were scarce, but the army was very large. At 141 the opponent brazenly came to take the tower where I was building control, but for some reason fell slightly short. Without thinking long, I used Labeta to reach the Griffin Conservatory and attacked with Gunar. The trade-off did not favor the opponent; I killed all 27 brawlers and almost all the skeletons, while the opponent lost 1 angel and about 100 skeletons. We ran around some more, the opponent couldn't manage to catch me off guard, and at 211 he surrendered after seeing high stats in the tavern and archangels.
Thanks for the game!
