In general, I got the impression that I was developing slightly better than my opponent throughout the game. On day 113 I picked up Barbarian as a secondary skill, week's result 1-6 in the Citadel in my home town, rocs in the Fort in the secondary town. On week 2 I was scrounging for money, on week 3 I took the Griffin Conservatory to max, losing 10 out of 12 Thunderbirds there, 1 horse, and about 30 Centaurs, then I lost a few more troops in the Cyclops max upgrade, went to the enemy respawn, with an army of 4 Angels, 7 Unicorns, a few Pegasi and Centaurs, 17 Grand Elves. Mana for one Mass Haste. The opponent first attacked with 8 Champions, 30 Marksmen, and nearly 100 Pixies. Mass Haste and superior stats allowed me to win, the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game.

I confirm, I really did develop slower. At first the situation was decent, 31 Archers from the start, though the mines were a bit hard to find, but while breaking through to a secondary town I ran into a horde of Rogues, and they started getting morale almost every turn, leaving me with almost no Archers. Then out of frustration I attacked 20-49 Battle Dwarves and almost got wiped :( And I never made it to the secondary town — Master Gremlins blocked me :( At the start of week 2 I lost one Champion in a max Medusa fight, then Valeska went to capture a secondary Tower town, and Damacon went for an underground secondary town. One road was blocked by Dendroids for an artifact, and all the Archers were with Valeska, at the metro exit there was a horde of Centaurs, then Kyrre ran out and attacked Damacon. I bought him back, but couldn't redeem him until the end of the week. In the battle I couldn't oppose the four Angels.

Thanks for the game.
