We decided to play a fun game with some unconventional heroes. Tan took the Heretic, and I took the Battle Mage.
I got a tiny central resource point, but there are wolf and bear spawns nearby. There's almost no money, so I'm struggling in zone 26, trying to get back to my resource point, but the path to it is blocked by 100-249 upgraded Orcs guarding Pandora. I couldn't place bears on the first day; I only have 1-5 units in the castle (there are Ogres though :). On the second day, I place bears, barely making it within my budget. And that's it... 500 per day, I can't buy anything. Gird is leveling up slowly because there's no land. I bought a Medusa Hut (level 3) and a Naga Bank (level 2), which helps a bit, but I can't buy anything other than bears, wolves, and goblins. And then I attack a mage's outpost with 4 bears and a few goblins (they were standing on the road, blocking the way, you see :). There were about 50 of them, with upgraded units. I lost 4 bears, retreated, and had 0 money and 0 units. And then, plague. :D All my unbought units from the first week are gone, I can't even make a decent stack anymore. In general, things improved a bit later, and I finally got a companion, but then I unexpectedly got a Devil Week +5. :)
In general, it's my fault because I went further into the zone where the opponent could be... and he was there. A Fireball Implosion spell for 1650 damage destroyed 10 bears, I struggled and bought off with Ogres. Then I tried to take a max-level Utopia from my own territory, but I predictably lost.
Thanks for the game!
P.S. I had a Scroll of Fly from the second week, but I couldn't find a second castle. I had a Resurrection and a Teleportation spell, but there was no land.
