Two ГО paths (50-99 Nagas), and I walked past them.
In the first week - while pushing for a secondary town, there was a choice of who to hit - on the path - 20-49 Water Elementals, or the shifted ones - 20-49 Water Elementals. I attacked those Water Elementals that were on the Path; it turned out they were nearly 50 with a Guard Stack. I emerged with only 13 Archers and a few Pikemen, took the Rampart secondary town, placed Elves there, in the Main - Horses in the Stronghold.
In the second week - upgraded 14 Elvises, took several Mead Halls and Crypts on the secondaries and home town, which allowed me to place Angels in the Castle. As luck would have it - with Expert Air, I wasn't given Haste.
In the third week - Maximum Consecration at home, Three-stack Consecration on a secondary.
In the fourth week - went into the Dragon Utopia, 1.5 moves from the Main; there happened to be a damn Minimal, where I got Boots of Resistance, but most importantly - Money, which allowed me to upgrade 12 Archangels. I'm hitting ГО (nearly 80 Nagas with a Guard Stack), and on the other side nearly 120 Guard Scorpions, who after about 5 turns finally froze the Archangels and killed 2 Archangels. Took Felix's Main, then a built-up Inferno secondary.
In the fifth week - looked for Shakti, taking what was apparently the last built-up Inferno secondary on the way. At 2.1.7. Shakti, using Jump I took my own secondary. I had to attack Shakti in the Castle like a fool, who had Blast, Bracers, and a Kettle, but practically no Army at all.
Thanks for the game!
