We played in SoD.
It's a shame I never made it to the secondary town because I chose the wrong direction.
It's strange that Ivor didn't have a single Elf at the start, it's the first time this has happened.
On the first week, I built Cavalry in the Stronghold thanks to a market found on the respawn.
On week 2, my opponent came through a teleport to my respawn, killed my scout hero, revealing 2 Angels, 5 Champions, etc., and stats: 8,7,5,2, with the artifact Leggings of +1+1, but he didn't go for the Castle.
On week 3, my opponent brought an army and attacked my capital.
Still, the capital held out; after the battle I only had 7 Pr. Cavaliers, 5 Pr. Pegasi, and 2 Dendroids left. During the assault on Red, my Cavaliers, with +3 morale, had the chance to finish off 6 of my opponent's Elves, but they didn't get morale and didn't reach the remaining Elves. Red retreated.
About 5 turns later, I surrendered because I had no money and my opponent didn't let Papa leave the Capital.

We are playing on trust, so I cannot distrust Red and admit my defeat.

At the same time, I have a question for the Heroes players: has anyone ever managed to kill the guard of the Angel external dwelling in week one, and also capture the Angel external dwelling, as my Opponent managed to do?

Thanks for the game!
