Bought Castle expensively. Got Christian without restarts and immediately 40+ archers on the road. Ran for several days through wasteland with 3-4 heroes. Managed to develop somehow and got to cavalry.
Then scouted the map and the enemy Conflux. Quickly went for the Mage Guild there. Zero objects. Got the first Griffin Conservatory double on day 131 and revealed the Hive. And Town Portal on the third rebuild.
Continued across the map, captured almost all enemies, but not much meat added: minor Griffin Conservatories and minor Hives.
As soon as I got Dimension Door (on the third rebuild) I headed towards the opponent, to his town with a possible Mage Guild. There I killed two of his leveled heroes. And the next turn left him without towns.
However, the opponent had an extremely powerful army (10+ hydras, 70+ dragons) compared to me and Fly. Lucky that by the third week he had only two towns, both without Mage Guild level 5.
Finally I collected Dragon Utopias, found stats, built Archangels.
Thanks for the games! 2:1
