On the first week I hesitated and went to clear a respawn off-road. At first I just wanted to chop some wood, but the experience stones and advanced tactics for Tirys next to the monk phalanx threw me off; 2 roaches along the way ran into blockers.
I keep running—ducklings behind a pack of manticores, a refugee camp—I secure resources—at 117: 1,2,3,4,6 in the Citadel at 122 I light up another 2 Conservatories for a 2-stack and a 3/4-stack (there's another 3/4 near the castle) but I don't take them; I task Tirys to break the ducklings. At 123, Vala 7412 without a spell book opens a two-stack with nearly full loss of spearmen and one horse (the archers smoke—they realize Borodino lies ahead), and then I OVERSHOT—jumped into a three-stack and got wiped. Thanks for the game!
