As expected - we used all restarts. There was also a bugged generation where the treasure zone gold mine killed the treasure zone's own guard. I didn't take any fat external dwellings in week 1. I built giants (there's an external market). I only collected gremlins from external dwellings into the army on the new week (generally, everything tasty on the map - Dragon Fly Hives, conservatories, external dwellings, pandora's boxes - was scattered all over the place). One road to a secondary town with an external dwelling of nagas was blocked by a horde of sharpshooters. Neela headed towards the pandora's box with golems. It gave 35 obsidian golems, and I immediately took the pandora's box guarded by scorpicores for 10k experience. I can safely head to the center at the start of week 2, but there's no meat. And week 2 is devoted precisely to building up the army; I also found the external dwelling of giants. My opponent is in no hurry to go to the treasure zone. He took several pandora's boxes - for experience, as well as +4 behemoths and +15 cyclops kings. The question arose of who to keep in the army - about a dozen genies or a couple of angels. Then I took a minimal-level utopia for the Sword of Justice, as well as the central town. I collected all the resources from the town, took Fly from a pyramid, defeated the guard of the Dragon Fly Hive with a pandora's box guarded by a hundred genies, but didn't take it myself, as I had no moves left. And then what appeared as a complete surprise was Kyrre emerging from the rocks (from the west, while the elf respawn was generally in the east), having taken the town and holing up there, presumably to replenish mana. And the next day, Neela takes another couple of pandora's boxes guarded by a horde of nagas (another +4 behemoths and 5th level) and reaches Kyrre in a jump. Thanks for the game.
