At the respawn, 2 external dwellings of level 1. Started off not very well, and by the second week I was completely stuck in an entirely empty adjacent zone (the other adjacent zone was about 3 days' travel away). As a result, by the end of the week I was only level 12. On the 3rd week, I got some vampires, broke through to the center, and quickly started climbing there. Almost lost the game on the pre-maximum Blood Temple, but in the end, I got away with losing only 140 skeletons. Leveled up to 21, went back home, and headed through the GO to the opponent. On 146, I attacked the castle where the opponent's GG was not present. That's when he surrendered.
Thanks for the game!
