It’s been a while since I last played Citadel; there was no avoiding blunders and I moved slowly. But the layout was excellent — a stable and a wolf den, with convenient roads. On the first week I took the Dungeon conflux, scouted 2 treasure zones, in one of them a Griffin Conservatory was visible. At home, bears in the Castle.
The rest of the game went something like this:
122 - I die against a max Griffin Conservatory
125 - bRitvo4kA dies against a max Griffin Conservatory
131 - bRitvo4kA dies again against a max Griffin Conservatory
131 - I finally take the max Griffin Conservatory.
Then, though, I start throwing scouts at everything in the treasure zone, and hordes of 35+ and 40+ minotaurs explain to me that I need to be calmer. I had 2 bears, 4 angels, 35 wolves, and about 15 goblins, but only 4 angels and 1 goblin returned to Crag. With that, I broke into my own corner treasure zone; there were boots and a bird den there.
But the opponent decided not to continue.
Thanks for the game.
