Out of all the heroes at the start, I chose Irbet, thinking the game would be fast, but Chaos is only at level 15, and Education is at level 20, so the first 2 weeks were tense. Also, a Dwarf from his adjacent territory moved into mine on day 11, and I had just gotten Chaos, no spells, nothing to push him back with, so I bought him off and moved to the second adjacent territory, then to the center.
Then I went to the Treasure, waiting for Genius, but didn't get it, so I took everyone except the Fighters and went to fight the Dwarf. At the beginning of week 6, I showed up, checked with a Roach - no Amulet of Resistance, attacked with the main hero - Amulet of Resistance is there, but not equipped, otherwise it would have been game over for me without a chance. I bought him off with 7 Hydras and several Minotaurs; will had two hundred Shields, 21 Bears, and 3 Fighters left.
I came back again on the same week with 5 Black Dragons, 2 Phoenixes, and various other units.
Thanks for the game.
