Scouting revealed average territory: 2 crypts, 2 hives, a castle (guarded, which I was afraid to take on week 1), lots of resources.
On the 6th (or 5th) hero, I came across Dessa and took him as my main.
Though I messed up - I could have had angels on week 1 (not sure if with citadel or not). As a result of week 1: champions + citadel. No castle.
But as the opponent said, "One knocked-out angel wasn't enough for me - I attacked the conservatory and got hammered hard."
Thanks for the game!
