Avern (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Vokial) def Lanser (red, Stronghold, Crag, Crag) 2smd4(3), 126

The spawn was decent. An external dwelling of dendroids right under my nose, native secondary skill, then another external dwelling of elves. My opponent had 2 external dwellings of goblins, and one each of orcs and Roc.
On day 125, the opponent caught my main hero with unicorns and a scout hero with dendroids. But I managed to buy back my heroes and bring up the troops I had lost. Vokial became the key hero, fortunately he was leveled up no worse than Kyrre. The next day I caught Crag and two scout heroes, dove into a portal, and from there the Stronghold was within easy reach. The siege was fierce, but the advantage in power decided everything.
Thanks for the game.
