On the first turn, I took adjacent towns. On 123, I trade my entire army in maxcons for 4 angels (I would have taken 3 without any problems).
Active joining begins on 127; on 131 and 122, I take Dragon Utopias, which give a water book ("visions" are present!), a +10-2 cap, and a level 5 hat.
On 135, I take the Dragon Utopia in the central treasure zone, catch up to Adele, and attack with an advantage in meat, magic, and stats.
Thanks for the game!
