We picked all rests.
2 roads, one blocked by 20+ gorgons behind a +3 shield. I break through the second one into a Necro secondary, there are a couple of crypts, they gave scouting :(. On day 115 I died in a max crypt on native land - goodbye hydras. Barely squeezed 1-6 into the Citadel, but on 2 spawns there are 4 Griffin Conservatories.
On day 121 I finished the crypt, then a Dwarf Cottage at 10 and 20, they gave attack :). Scout also found a crypt. Broke back home, took a penny, killed the gorgons. Took max levels, they gave earth.
On the third [week], 2 Griffin Conservatories with level 3 Tazar, broke into the second Necro secondary, there's all earth magic in the Mage Guild. Ran into the treasure zone, the scout takes another level 3 Griffin Conservatory. In the treasure zone, Cloak of the Wretched, scout reveals Val on the other side of the treasure zone. I break back home, buy everything, go to the enemy. I take his castles, he runs into the treasure zone. After all the maneuvers, he attacks on day 232 at my castle, where Tazar had dug in. In a tough battle, the enemy fell.
Thanks for the game!
