At the start of the game, I took two rests, and we began playing. The spawn was quite promising — lots of crypts, a Dwarf Cottage, a Stable nearby. Although the 4-hero spread with a relatively small retreat for red Conflux against Tower, and 3 air elementals from the start, were a bit disheartening.
In the end, I got lucky with the crypts — the first few turned out to be small, and after that I could handle any size. On the second day, Grindan arrived and started leveling alongside Luna. The Cap of +4 Knowledge with a Well of Strategy along the way was a nice find.
By the end of the week, I had the first four tiers built in the Citadel, and Luna was at the Stables, having had an unfortunate fight with Vampires (she could have burned them, but I made a mistake). Soon Grindan finished them off, picking up a chest with +4 Attack and Defense. The external dwellings of water elementals and faeries did their job — by the start of the second week, I had 30 ice elementals and 100+ faeries.
On day 121, I ran Luna to check the Dwarven Treasury, grabbed the Shackles from behind the Griffins, and then, as if nothing had happened, attacked the Naga Dwarven Treasury. I burned about 10 of them, but couldn't escape. In the end, I lost both Luna and the Shackles.
By that time, two large Griffin Conservatories had been scouted up top, at a considerable distance. Grinya, having filled up 100 mana, ran there, capturing a Naga Bank along the way. With minimal losses, he took a tier-3 Griffin Conservatory with Golden Eagles, then a tier-4 one with 3 Angels. Higher up, he also picked up a scout hero with a Cape of Silence on the ground.
Grindan first leveled Scholar, then Air Magic, and eventually maxed them out at the Conservatories. On day 125, he sat in the main town, refilling mana, preparing to head out to the center.
Just before leaving, I decided to build a 4th Mage Guild, and discovered a miracle: Town Portal and Resurrection from the first build. I dug up Astral with Advanced Wisdom and transferred the spells to Grindan.
In the center, I freed a fully developed second main hero from prison: Nagash at level 30 with Earth Magic, Armor, Intelligence, and Wisdom. Grindan retaught him all the spells, and by day 127, Nagash was pouring 240 mana into the Inferno center, while Grindan had 260 mana at home (having raised Intelligence from a Corpse of Knowledge).
Over the next few days, I collected the central Dragon Utopias, built the bird dwellings, and took the max-tier Dragon Fly Hive in the center. From the Dragon Utopias, I got the Speaker's Hat, KZ, Gladius of the Titan, a Helm of +12 -2, and 8 all.
Opp surrendered on day 132, as he had lost his army, was still stuck on respawn, and my wild stats were visible in the Tavern.
Thanks for the game!
