Magneto (blue, Conflux, Inte, Inte) def Van (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 126

Air elementals are built. On the first week, birds were placed in the citadel, money was begged from leprechauns and millers for the second week - and into the medusa pool - +4000. I buy the remaining firebirds and go to the neighboring respawn for the blue orb and to level up in the arena, also finally picking up the secondary. Fire magic and water magic are leveled to 3rd and 2nd level respectively. Ice Bolt deals 300 damage with the orb. Further plans included a trip to the teleporter for scouting and to the utopia that was in the corner of the native respawn; a passage to the underground secondary was also breached - reds are already there, so I considered a quick finish, but it came even faster. Unfortunately, Ivan conceded to Psychic Elementals. He declined the offered autosave. Thanks for the game.

Magneto (red, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Van (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti), 2sm4d(3), 124

I barely broke through many air elementals and take the Rampart secondary. The respawn is rich in free resources. At the end of the first week, I made a gross mistake - I broke into a crypt for some reason, while the growth had already spawned, lost one wyvern, and the gnolls got a bit battered too, and the crypt turned out to be the maximum size. The battle was also somewhat clumsy; I started fighting zombies before vampires. I emerged from there with an army comparable in size to the starting one, just the lizardmen a bit fatter. Annoying, but I didn't give up. Behind the pack (10-19) of Archmagi, there's another secondary respawn - a native one, but blues are already running around there. A Griffin Conservatory has been scouted at each of the three respawns, but I first decided to go to the Fortress, as the other Conservatories are far away, and Shakti was likely planning to take his own, if he hadn't already (it wasn't visible). So it turned out - he took it, and more than one. On day 124, I caught Shakti with 4 Angels near the Archmagi guarding the passage, just before I was planning to go there myself. The battle was tough, but morale saved me, luckily triggering on the Gnolls and Basilisks, which froze a good number of enemies. I won with 20+ Gnolls. The opponent didn't flee because he got confused after a morale trigger. The Angel had few hit points left, and the Gnolls finished it off. If we had fought with full armies, I would have definitely been at a disadvantage then. If Shakti had fled, it's hard to say whether I could have held the defense. But neither happened; without their leader, the blues threw in the white flag.
Thanks for this game too.:)
