2010

   It started off not bad. I hired Broghild and decided to level him. I thought I'd break into the treasure zone early and gather a bunch of wyverns. There was a lot of gold, plus a bugged passage to the secondary Conflux on the lava, but even without that there would have been enough respawns. On month 2, I could have easily placed angels in the Castle without resource exchange, but I didn't do that so I could fully buy up on 131. As his fourth skill, Broghild learned Earth Magic and maxed it to Expert by 127. I have Slow. On 131 I fully buy up and take the Observatory 3 with practically no losses. I hightail it to the treasure zone. I broke through the minimal cavalry horde with Mass Slow and forgot to upgrade my own units, though I did upgrade the Hippodrome. I captured the Gold Mine there and it was the right call not to split up, because the monolith to the opponent's respawn was nearby. I still have mana for two more Slows. Next turn, Sanal tries to break through to the sand and is wiped. He declines the auto fight.

   Thanks for the game.
