Excellent start — 2 native heroes, all heroes with 3 stacks, 3 external gnoll dwellings at the respawn, no money problems. I break through to the first underground level, and there are 2 hives right away. Tazar waits for reinforcements and by the end of the week takes them out successfully. Week result — wyverns in the castle plus the native village, Tazar with Expert Armorer and Logistics, Basic Wisdom and Earth.
Week 2: Griffin Conservatory levels 1 and 3 (1 angel is given to Vistain with Pathfinding, who thoroughly clears the huge home respawn for the next week). Tazar finally breaks into the center (36 wyverns, 3 angels and miscellaneous, Mass Slow, Advanced Offense, Tactics, Expert Wisdom).
Week 3: Orange Castle is killed (very lucky run-in, could have been painful with Ciele holed up in the castle). A guild is built in one of the Conflux villages. There's a Dragon Utopia and a Griffin Conservatory at the respawn, but without control it takes a long time to march there. An external hydra dwelling is found.
Week 4: Fly is awarded, thanks to which the home Utopia is taken quickly. Eislinn is available with Advanced Air and Expert Wisdom, but there is NO Sight anywhere. 48 grand wyverns and 7 angels (2 more in the castle) head toward the Castle. Archangels are standing by, I save up money for the upgrade.
Week 5: I systematically move toward the opponent, kill a Dungeon comp. Luna appears in the tavern at about level 7, I lend her a couple of archangels until black dragons appear, quickly level her up and equip her with Armageddon. Tazar detoured to a Utopia in the treasure zone, and there turned out to be 2 more. I killed another (the last) Castle comp for good measure. Tazar with the Book of Earth. Archangels, wyverns, and the Red Orb inspire confidence.
Week 6: I fly Tazar over to the opponent's place, kill Crag Hack with a couple of oddballs and company, but I'm 1 movement point short of entering the castle. For some reason I remove the Red Orb. The next day Gurnisson flies in, retakes his castle, and disappears somewhere. The army in the castle doesn't look like the main force, no way to check, I attack (again without the Red Orb). Gurnisson is there, who was treacherously planning to subtract some of my archangels and flee (if he had built a portal of summoning, that's exactly what would have happened). Instead, he got an Armageddon instead of an implosion, which put the final touch.
Thanks for the game.
