111-116. Saving money for angels (in fort, because I don't know how to save properly without upgrading lucres). Leveling Gunnar (didn't get Earth magic, but leveled fine). Capturing an external angel dwelling.
117. Breaking the block (1 road was blocked by 20-49 Medusas for Golden Bow and Vampire's Cloak). Only attacked on 117 because earlier I had nothing to do it with (as expected, there were 49). Another external angel dwelling is revealed, but I only get there on 121.
122-124. Attacked Pandora's Boxes (notable only 30 Monks) and collected money to buy back the army. Only 1 Dragon Fly Hive on the respawn (and I didn't even take it).
125. Breaking through the GO (rust monsters shredded the meat).
126-127. Eating whatever the reds didn't eat (opponent came out a couple of days earlier). 9 Magic Elementals dealt heavy damage (-3 angels out of 7). Didn't expect that many. And didn't think the angels would get hit. Found a red orb. Even though I had the Cloak from the start, I'm glad about the orb — Luna can punish with Lightning too.
131-136. Taking 2 Dragon Utopias (no stat boosts. none at all). Fooling around.
137. Scouting with Air Magic reveals the opponent is close (and his hero was nearby, the one with the Power that was spotted in the tavern). Decided to eat the last piece of the treasure zone (Earth scouting showed plenty of space there). Found a +4 All Stats Shield. Attacked 2 stacks of 20-49 Giants. Forgot to remove the red orb. And the second time, when there were 45 with a growth stack, I got wrecked. I'm short 500-600 movement points (total had about 3.5k) to take a Pandora's Box, a Gladius (still running around with a shameful Centaur's Axe), and Town Portal home, so I could go attack the opponent on 141 with 6 more Archangels.
Then Crag attacks. Made many mistakes in the fight (e.g., didn't remove the ballista immediately). An 80% to 80% army trade. Thought about retreating or not... Decided to wait one more turn. The opponent got a morale boost (he had +3) and I fell.
This, of course, is my main mistake. If I had retreated with 3 Archangels (had plenty of gold), I could have bought 6 more. And the opponent wouldn't have been able to do anything to me. After all, Conflux is not strong in growth.
Thanks for the educational game.
