I got lucky with a very favorable respawn, instantly had Monere and Geler (+350) in the tavern, a large respawn with clusters of goodies, Butterfly, Air, and Earth dwellings in week 1, + Birds appeared, + a Bird dwelling in week 3, 2 Naga Banks nearby, 2 Griffin Conservatories, and a Dragon Utopia. My opponent also had a decent setup with Scorpicore and Minotaur dwellings.
In week 3, the opponent rushed in with 22 Minotaur Kings, 19 Manticores, 2 Angels, 180 Troglodytes + fodder. First turn, mass Haste and the advantage in unit count played their part.
Thanks for the game.
