A formidable start — on 111, a level 5 Luna with expert fire and wisdom from the prison, Deesa. Everything seems fine, I'm running around gathering resources, captured the Conflux camp, Deesa with earth. I check the template layout; from the AI's side, there are 3 passes into the treasure zone at 6k each. One pass is guarded by 10-19 fanatics, another by 20+ gold golems. I of course attack the golems, with an army of 70 gremlins and 4 ducks. There are 47 of them. I check the template layout again — turns out there are two 6k passes and one 12.5k, that figures. I fight for half an hour, burn through the entire timer, frying golems with Luna for 35 damage per wall. By some miracle I crawl out with 1 duck and 40 gremlins. Okay, I think, army isn't needed in HotA for the HL, so I run Deesa past the village into that zone the same turn to move Luna there and burn the Zephyr I spotted from the scout. There's a damn Beserker guarding 10+ energy elementals. Well, I attack on tilt and obviously get wiped. I think, whatever, it's 116, growth in 2 days, the town hall is being built, army isn't needed in the hotkey. I grab the Dragon Fly Hive scouted by Luna on 8, hand the ducks over to a scout hero to collect resources, all according to the strategy.
On 121, the Miner arrives, so I break through the energy elementals on my 2nd try with Troglodytes, move Luna there, grab the Zephyr, and head onward, thinking about hitting the enemy AI — 8 cyclopes, 60 Troglodytes, easy peasy. On 122, I burn through 2 teleport guards with Luna (not golems this time), charge in with Deesa, grab an empty ramp, scouts collect resources, all according to the strategy. On his turn, Orange attacks his own castle with 4 unicorns, 30 dwarves, dendroids, pegasi, and elves — basically everything you can gather in 2 weeks. Turns out the Citadel wasn't even built in the castle. Out of spite, I take his 2 unicorns, otherwise no losses for Orange. Rest in Peace Deesa :( I check the tavern — I have 8 ducks on a scout hero, and my army on day 2 shows bigger than the opponent's, though the AIs are of course outpacing us. On top of that, I'm being pressured on a 2nd front by Purple with ifrits. I barely fend off the attack with magic. Meanwhile, the opponent gets wiped a 2nd time and surrenders
Thanks for the game!
