Got a chocolate spawn. 3 griffin stacks, a pokemon stack, 2 Griffin Conservatories and a Dragon Utopia on the respawn. A double and there's a stack of archers, crusaders and pokemon there too. Gold income was extremely tight. On the first week, I only built Swordsmen in the Citadel and Fort. Nothing for a buyout.
On the second week, I scraped together some gold, managed a buyout, and went to break the Griffin Conservatories. The level 1 fell easily, luckily the archer stack was sizeable. Then level 3 fell a bit harder, without magic. Well, in the third level 3 I completely misclicked hard, losing about fifty archers. I pressed wait with the crusaders, but instead a double came up and the archers stood in the open field instead of diving into cover. 3 stacks of 30 griffins each hit them hard. Oh well, never mind, at least I have 7 angels. Still only enough gold for a buyout, crusaders still in the Fort and Citadel. I have Haste, but no Slow anywhere.
On the third week, I take 35 crusaders and angels and 120 pokemon and break the Dragon Utopia level 2. I left my whole army's food supply and 2 crusaders there, luckily the angel survived. Got junk, KO, Earth Boost, some ring, but most importantly the Red Orb. Also 30k gold which came in handy, been scraping by all game. Valya gets under Go, managed to find Haste in the double I took from the opponent. I break Go for 80 nagas, then 50+ monks behind a Dragon Fly Hive, for some reason I split the angels into 2+2+3, had to use Blind and drain half my mana, but oh well. Break 50+ gr pegasi for a Dragon Utopia on the last mana. I hit a scout hero specifically without the Orb, he zaps 5 archers with Lightning Bolt. And I fall short of reaching the main with Solmyr without an army by a couple of moves :(. Should have broken that Dragon Utopia back then...
