thanks for the game

Confirmed.

Yeah.. There's something I need to tell here.

Starting position was average. Two paths, one ends with a lot of medusas, the other I didn't explore for the first 5 days, because I thought it was just GO, and there was stuff to do at the respawn.
My second hero was Vistan. I clear the respawn with the Tazar-Vistan pair. The respawn has a lot of gold and even one Griffin Conservatory, so I don't end up taking the rest.
By day 117, I have everything in the Citadel except for gorgons. Everything looks good. On day 117, I managed to take a water mill, which treacherously hid right next to GO :)
On the second week, I break through to the secondary area, where I see the opponent with an unimpressive army, which makes me let my guard down... and I shouldn't have...
I spend the entire second week clearing this secondary area. I lose two noobs (found one of them in a prison here as well :) ), and in the end I get 2 angels for 5 lizards and gnolls. So by the end of the second week, my army consisted of 5 Wyverns, 2 angels, 2 hydras, 7 basilisks, and 30 lizardmen. One thing mars the joy: the Castle is still not built, because I was ferrying troops all week. And then on day 7, I notice 2 major miscalculations:
1) After taking the opponent's secondary area with my main, I forgot to build a Mage Guild there and buy a spell book!
2) I have no chain back home to bring the army... Well, I do, but my main is far from it...
And the opponent, having bought troops on week 3, takes a narrow passage on the road and cuts my main off from reinforcements....
So in the final battle, it's 3 weeks of growth against 2, and without a Castle... The angels didn't make the difference... The final battle was lost...

Thanks for the game
