We played 200%, all random, opp took one rest and we went.
On week 1: three heroes, Citadel and eyes. On week two: cats - still three heroes; opp only kept changing heroes in the tavern, probably about 7-8 total.
I'm recruiting troops, but no money; also on week 1 I ran through three respawns and hit a block of cyclops horde. On week 3 opp broke through there; I blocked his way back and his troop supply line, and calmly waited for my own troop delivery, converting all resources to zero.
Opp attacks and immediately buys himself out. I use that money to buy almost all [troops] and start clearing the treasure zone. Roman surrenders.
Thanks for the game!
