Roads are fast, both have their native secondary (opponent only took his on the second week though).
Gunnar arrived - him to the folders. Stable on the road, I clear gold from chains, from pickups - only goblins. On the first week I placed 1-6 in the Citadel dwellings and in the secondary 1-5, without 4 in the Fort.
On the second week - I found a +2 shield, took the Medusa horde at 8, Dwarf Cottages at 15 and at 10, upgraded orcs and birds, approached the opponent's secondary (also barb) off-road, upgraded goblins and dogs there.
On 131 I have a decent army. I move to visit on the snow. Took another secondary - a dungeon in the basement, got a +6 shield, finally mass Haste! I didn't have to attack, because Octavia came running herself:
Gunnar (16 7 3 4): expert Archery, Air, Tactics, advanced Defense.
18 Harpies, 65 Orcs, 8 Cyclopes, 102 Hell Hounds, 50 Goblins.
Octavia (7 5 8 4): expert Attack, Earth and basic Tactics.
115 Master Grendel, 24 Magi, 9 Nagas, 1 Giant, 2 Genies, 2 Golems and 30 Grendel.
I set up defensively, I got mass Slow, in return I cast mass Haste and kill all the Magi and Nagas in one round, the Grendel are blocked. Victory!
Thanks for the game.
