I used all my restarts and got a small, poor location, with only 2 shields for good stuff. On 112 I break through to the adjacent zone of elementals, but due to the long road I only arrived on 114, since the starting troops barely gave me 30 goblins and 2 birds, and it's unclear what to do. I find an external dwelling of water elementals, build them in Conflux - that's something. I break through a couple of crypts and a Dwarf Cottage, find an external dwelling of physical elementals, nothing tasty noticeable except for leveling spots. I wanted to split up to hit the native secondary, but I revealed a Griffin Conservatory-1, another external dwelling of physicals, and a couple of Dragon Fly Hives. But I can't handle the guard for the horde of earth elementals with such an army. I take the Griffin Conservatory, max Dragon Fly Hives, go through the leveling spots, the rest - only by 127. I was about to write GG, but built Conflux, by 132 I cleared the zone - I already have 10 physicals, 15 Wyverns on hand, and there's an entrance to the treasure zone nearby, but still no opponent. Hoping the opponent is delayed somewhere, I go deeper into the treasure zone. There are Dragon Fly Hives and 2 libraries. The opponent is spotted in the tavern - by stats he's lagging behind 20 Crag - there's already a chance. On 143 he arrives and takes the main town, then goes through another entrance to the same treasure zone, chasing after unbroken Griffin Conservatories and libraries. While he wastes time uselessly, I advance to the treasure in the underground, and a war of low-tier troops begins, thankfully all the growths were moved. On 215 I take the castle, the opponent only reached the road and writes that he has to leave. After stating the layouts, he agrees to defeat.)
By the time of 216, Crag was level 22: 25 18 14 12 and was standing near 4 sunken ships, 2 pandora's boxes, and another couple of Dragon Fly Hives - all within a 2-day radius; in three days he would have cleared them and 50+ wyverns and 40 physical elementals would have come at the opponent.
Thanks for the game. (the report is dedicated to those who were unhappy with the "brevity of the previous one".)
