Oelm (red, Swamp, Tazar, Monere) def Wlk777 (blue, Ramp, Kyrre, Kyrre), 2SM4d(3), 127

I started in the center :( But I see two Griffin Conservatories, I scout the paths to secondaries, the guards are weaklings. On k113 I finally reach Tazar to the secondary Conflux, grabbing two crypts along the way. I spread out to spawns, see a Pandora's Box behind dragonflies, a Griffin Conservatory on one tile, my native Griffin Conservatory on 3-4. On d116 I take a secondary Castle. On d117 I break the minimal Dwarf Cottage, spot the opponent's scout, at home I have Hydras in the Castle without cows. I didn't develop my secondaries.

Judging by the stats, Kyrre is roaming around upgrade spots, I decide to push for 2nd, Monere got Tactics, Offense, Defense. Magic isn't given, but I decide I'll manage. There's Haste in the guild, with an Angel and dragonflies I should be able to overrun the elves. I lose a day to hole up in the Castle, because I miscalculated the movement to replenish mana. I take the Pandora's Box — EMPTY :smile21: Lost another day on that one.
On d127 I break the guard from the secondary spawn, see an unclaimed Griffin Conservatory on 3-4. I don't go for it, but head to the Castle — if necessary, I'll take it on d131 with the new growth; by my estimate, Kyrre shouldn't be able to break it with "little blood". The opponent, in desperation, dives into the Griffin Conservatory, where they lose their main army.

Monere lvl 10, 10 - 9 - 3 -4 (Offense, Logistics, Expert, Tactics, Armorer, Water Advanced) with full growth, everything upgraded except Hydras and Wyverns + Angel, against Kyrre 6-14-2-3 lvl 10 (Archery, Logistics, Luck, Earth Expert)
looks stronger.

Thanks for the game!
