I took 1 restart and off we went. Gold was very scarce, I couldn't place bears, but instead 3 Griffin Conservatories were revealed and Krag started leveling well — got Air as the second skill and took Logistics from a hut. I captured a secondary town — Swamp, was planning to max the Gnome Factory and Medusa House to fix the gold situation and place bears, but the opponent conceded at the Griffin Conservatory :(
Thanks for the game!
