On the second day, I discovered my own secondary resource. The guards at the resource spawn – storms – devour almost everyone. But both resource spawns have a lot of low-level hiding spots – goblins are constantly replenishing. And the two ogre hiding spots came in handy. In the first one, I barely managed to gather enough resources for bears in the castle. Throughout the second week, I bought bears and birds, and the secondary resource remained inactive. At the end of the second week, I captured the bird hiding spot. On day 131, I got shackles for the ifrits. With five bears, 14 griffins, 5 unupgraded units, and ten ogres, I jump into the metro. I almost immediately take a consulate-level town and, on the next turn, settle in the opponent's empty capital. The opponent's scout is defeated by Gurney, looks at the army, and congratulates me on the victory. I didn't even see Mephala. I really wanted to do something clever with the shackles, but in the end, I didn't even equip them once.
Thanks for the game!
