Low on gold, but got Logistics and the stables are not far. Beat a Pandora's Box for 5000 coins. Only external troglodyte dwellings keep popping up, I don't take them, waiting for something good, but there's nothing. Been offered Earth Magic, stubbornly try to decline, I'll level up Logistics, well then I'll take it (couldn't resist, took it right away). By the end of the first week I was on Earth Magic, forgot to clear a couple of troglodyte dwellings, built Cats (Manticores) with the Castle. Then the fun began. Crag Hack comes to a Rampart secondary hero, I only have 130 troglodytes in my army, take the minimum Griffin Conservatory, bring another 70 troglodytes and 9 medusas and the fight (7 spell points, have expert Earth Magic). He also had it, I took out 90 gremlins, 10 mages and the rest of his stack, he took out my angel, medusas and 30 troglodytes, he paid me gold for 4 nagas and elves. Phew, first round is mine. Run through his territory, eat a lvl 3 Naga Bank and head to his secondary hero, he bought everything and is on my tail. Quickly loot some Barbarian territory a bit and attack, killing 7 nagas, I buy peace. At home I take the Conservatory for 2 angels and the Treasury, where I gathered 24 Titans, and two Dragon Utopias. The opponent pops out and almost takes my capital on week 1, day 4, month 7, I leave the troops, recall home, buy everything there and sit tight, he doesn't attack, I bring up the army and hit him. Then a couple more fights, took his capital, left him without an army, and we finished at 4 AM.
Thanks for the game
