A dull map, and the roads are slow to boot. I fell for the stables and the LoG, but the roads are extremely long. I grabbed the Conflux opponent's army by the end of the week; around the same time, Gosh almost miraculously managed to break through to the ramp with 2 birds and jump into an empty Citadel. The third opponent only at 127, the distances were considerable, so I had to give up on the Griffin Conservatory 3-4.
The 3rd week was devoted to a side treasure zone; found nothing good there, only spent time clearing tough blocks. After getting mass slow, I split my army and ran to the central treasure zone — also nothing, and at the entrance to the metro leading to my opponent, there were 5-9 faerie dragons. I realigned my chains again and ran to the treasure zone I had been in before — having spotted the top of a Dragon Utopia there. But just as I was about to take it, Val broke through the faerie dragons and ran at me with almost no army. The Dragon Utopia was a 3-stack, nearly worthless, but nearby there were shackles with an external dwelling of horses behind an unreal guard — 120 monks. I barely broke through with a scout hero and attacked with my main stack. The 7th-level seasoned Val had nothing to counter that.
Thanks for the game.
