10.11.13 Psyche_7 (blue, Stronghold, Crag Hack, Crag Hack) def Wariator (red, Fortress, Tazar, Grindan), JebusCross, 132

After running out of restarts, I finally found a hidden stash of bears, even two at once. I had a decent amount of money, plus nagabanks, wolves were built up, about 5 hidden goblin huts, a preserve, and 2 hives. I had 1.5-2 days until the Grand Order (Queen Naga). As soon as I saw the first hidden stash, I started thinking about how to take it (the guard was an army of iron golems). The question resolved itself when I pulled Gurney, level 10, out of prison (with Logistics and Earth expertise to boot!), and found a crate with 80 goblins behind the zombies. However, the battle for the prison was unpleasant – I lost a couple of wolves, some goblins, and all the birds.

I decided to spend some time on Crag Hack and Gurney's books (but there was no slow, haste, or bless (( ). On day 123, I broke through to the center, where there was a hive and several crates for experience – not enough. My opponent wasn't in a hurry, so I had time to look around – first, I grabbed the red orb next to the red Grand Order and a +5 sword behind the dragons.

I spent a week in the center – didn't find anything particularly interesting – I got 15 pit lords, did some demoning, and headed to the swamp. Along the way, while killing the losers, I didn't see the red orb, and it turned out to be for a reason – in the castle, I was greeted by Grindan 16-16-12-15 (150). If I hadn't had the red orb, or if I had stayed in the Tazar castle, I probably wouldn't have taken him, but as it was, 14 gray dragons survived everything and everyone.

Thanks for the game!
