Forrest (blue swamp Broghild) def Javdet (Inferno Fiona) 1-2-4 Jebus Cross

Paid 3900 for castle choice.
Thought it was an iron respawn. But I cleared a non-cheap mercenary camp and there was an archangel. Decided to play. Then did everything through him. There was a block of two roads by a horde of Grand Elves and a crowd of Crusaders. The Archangel took them down.
Took the external dwelling of Hydras immediately. Broghild got Navigation and Pathfinding, then Earth, Offense, Tactics. Zero convenient wood piles on the respawn. On day 114, took a conservatory with 2 Arcomages and 3 Hydras. Then gave resources to Javdet who took gold and the external dwelling of Vivi. And Broghild ran through the Grand Elves to the other side. There he took a box for 5000 experience and a box for 45 Gorynyches (30 Archmages). Built up Hydras with the castle and their 2 external dwellings. Main scouting was inconvenient. Wasting time on clearing. But eventually, on day 123, Javdet takes the all-5 and Broghild 10-20-14-10 attacks the GO in the form of 100+ Cyclopes. With basic tactics. 2 Angels, 1 Archangel, 12 Grand Elves, 7 Hydras, and 6+6 Serpent Flies. Only lose the Serpent Flies. Immediately block a stack of Grey Djinns (but I saw them) and kill them fine. From that box, 3 Gold Dragons.
I see a Dragon Utopia and run to it through 15 Grey Bears (Earth is main). The Bears take Gold Dragons, 9 Gnolls, and 5 Vivi. But I'm at the Dragon Utopia.
On day 124, Fiona appears and destroys three of my structures on my respawn :eek: .
I take the Dragon Utopia. On the Guardian Shield and I attack, there's no other way. Broghild 9-27-14-10 (6 mana) 2 Dragons, 1 Archangel, 2 Angels, 70 Grey Lizardmen (rank 5), 5 Grand Elves, 15 Wasps, 9 Hydras. There Fiona 12-10-8-40 has 8 Devils, 21 Pegasi, 3 Angels, 9 Magogs, and singles of Magogs. The battle is difficult, there's a Water Spellbook and Expert Water Magic. But still, stats and high-level troops decided it.
Thanks for the game, Romych!
