Confirmed! It seems my setup was decent, but my opponent's was even better.

Week 1
As usual, I gathered 20+ Gogs. I see a Treasure (mini), and Luna immediately takes it. I clear a path to the top for scouting and resource gathering (anyway, half of it was blocked by creatures; it's a pity there was a Stone Mine behind them). Nearby, there's a Hive (guarded by 10+ Thunderbirds), a Shield +2 for 50+ Earth Elementals, and a Skull Helmet. Luna runs down and notices a dungeon guarded by 50+ Harpies. I decide to attack with Ifrits:
"...I felt that something would go wrong. There were too many Harpies. I was hoping for a wall of fire that would turn them into roast, but the Harpies turned out to be smarter. They attacked one squad at a time from the side where there was no flame. Those creatures! After that, we lost twenty Gogs. I became even angrier and spared no one who stood in my way..."
The Harpies attacked me (apparently, it happened because of the incorrect positioning). Only Ifrits and Pit Lords remained, and they are not easy to fight. I take my home secondary Castle (the opponent took his a day ago) and return.

Week 2
I buy Ifrits. Due to slow roads and a difficult landscape, it takes 4 days to travel from one Castle to another. There is a catastrophic shortage of gold, and I barely manage to gather enough for Prefectures. There was an opportunity to go to the grass through 20+ Air Elementals, but for some reason, I don't. The army wanders back and forth. Income is 3000, and I decide to start Demonology next week and take the Hive.

Week 3
I buy Ifrits. I break through the Hive's guard and take it (losing one Ifrit -_-). They gave me 6 Wyverns, and I start summoning Demons. I see that the opponent is attacking the Guard Tower (Phoenixes), and I think that they will defeat them:
"...- My Lady, enemy troops have been spotted, heading towards us!
- Alright, let's see how the Phoenixes roast them!
- The Phoenixes have been defeated, my Lady.
- How? It's impossible!
- Our scouts reported that there are now 8 Angels in their army!
- I can't believe it! Angels are deadly for us...
- What should we do, my Lady?
- Accept the final battle; I want to see these winged creatures again..."
The opponent easily breaks through the Guard Tower and heads towards me. I gather everything I have and enter the battle. Expert Slow and Angels did their job. I looked at the opponent's setup and was amazed: 4 Conservatories, all of which were built in 3 days.

Myduck, thank you for the game! Luck was on your side :smile20:
