We started, roads medium, 2nd level built, Luna and Nimus in the tavern. I scouted immediately, good respawn, worth playing. On the first week I took several crypts, a mini-Dwarf Cottage (cut 1 Air Elemental and 10 Pixies at sea), Legion belt +4 Water and an external Water dwelling as well. Birds spawned in the Citadel. Nimus has Expert Attack and Tactics, Basic Earth, Slow and Shield present. Luna with Logistics, broke through with 20-49 Hell Hounds on Pixies and took a secondary Stronghold, underneath it a Stable and a Griffin Conservatory. Nimus on day 117 at the home Stable. Another Griffin Conservatory scouted at home, in the corner of the respawn.
On day 121 I bought the birds, broke through the Marksmen to a secondary Tower, but missed reaching the castle by 1 tile. Along the way I broke through a Horde of Grands for a Dragon Fly Hive, but didn’t go into the hive itself without meat (and never got around to it afterwards). There were 2 GO camps, right on two roads at once: a crowd of Hydras and a crowd of Bears. The Hydras were positioned more conveniently; I planned for the week to be standing near them on a speed boost by day 125. On day 124 Nimus took a Naga Bank by 4 near the home Griffin Conservatory, leveled up Oil, and with it the Conservatory itself, which turned out to be only a 2. Got Logistics.
Day 125 - Nimus got wiped in the main; here I made a mistake and forgot to leave a bird for the speed boost, so ended up running to the GO on Pixies, replenishing mana at a well along the way. Luna took a double Conservatory on the rocks, and on the same turn Ignat discovered another one half a move away in the same area. Gave Luna Earth Magic.
Day 126 - I go into the third Conservatory with Luna, it’s 100-249. Took a risk here; it turned out to be the third 2 in a row, so 6 Angels total. Earth Magic became Expert on the Fire Lady (Pasis). I pass back, buy +1 spell power for Nimus, hit the GO — 28 Hydras with Haste, no problem, of course. Advanced Logistics and got Armorer, which was just right. Scanned the map, and I fall just a couple of tiles short of reaching the opponent’s empty castle. The speed boost cost me.
On the next turn, the opponent checks my army with a cockroach and quits. Thanks for the game!
