Hermit(Inferno, Pyre, Pyre) def mals(Castle, Valeska, Galthran) 6lm10a 124

I started playing as Inferno with brown and teal - Dungeon, and besides that I found a Funeral Pyre, no other secrets. I came up with the idea to capture it on the second day and build Portal of Summoning with brown and teal. That should bring in 6 Firebirds per week... I lost a lot, but I spotted brown's scout and figured out how to get to him over rough terrain. On day 121 I captured an empty town in which a Castle had been built. I left the scout to fend off brown's heroes and capture mines, etc., while I went along the path presumably towards teal. Then suddenly Gunnar jumped out from above and killed the scout I had left behind... I didn't want to lose the town with 1000 gold and a Castle, so I stationed 14 Eyes and a few Harpies there. Pyre found a Naga Bank 3, and nearby a Throne Conservatory and a Hive behind a crowd of Water Elementals. Considering that in the first week I had lost everything possible except for two Efreeti, attacking all this was scary, especially since the Elementals could have had a Grand... Crystal. While I was thinking about whether to take all this or go along the path towards teal, Gosha attacked Dungeon and died during the siege.    Thanks for the game.
