Took all restarts. First gen was really bad, 111. Then it seemed like there was not enough secondary skills, 113. In the end, one road to the GO...
Though overall not so bad. External dwelling of air elementals, two native heroes in the tavern, income 1325 already on 111. Stable next to the castle, Griffin Conservatory, cloak +2+2 for magic. Looking for any way out of spawn. On 113 the most promising seemed to be going to the grass through the cerberi - heading there, ignoring as many as 3 external dwellings of water elementals in the other direction. Checked the Conservatory - it's a 2-level, just right for Grindan at the start of week 2. On 116 I open the lookout tower - no town or road visible... Take a crypt, getting ready for the dwarf dwelling. A hero skirmish happens. Built 1-5 in the Stronghold.
121 - nearly full buyout, build mind elementals, take the Dwarf Cottage at 30, clear the Conservatory and replenish mana. In the refugee camp I buy 20 gr. fairies - now the heroes will run faster. 122 - +2 angels. Grindan - with advanced attack and basic logistics. Running to the second Griffin Conservatory. 124 - another 2 angels, medusa dwelling at 6, clear it, army goes to Monere, he runs to the opponent's secondary. 125 - Monere takes the secondary, Grindan is bought there, I build MG2, and with ice bolt at 150, archery at 100, 4 angels, 40+ storm elementals and chaff, easily kill Shakti in the Stronghold.
Thank you for the game.
