Got a good spread, average roll, 2nd level not built, have an external dwelling of Phoenixes + a ring of the Diplomat behind a horde of Greater Demons, then found another 3 Dragon Fly Hives and a few simpler external dwellings, an external marketplace. Torosar showed up with a ballista, so my papal intuition suggested taking Ignissa as the main, whose leveling has never let me down before. Didn't let me down this time either, at level 3 Log, at level 4 Earth. Though Geddit quickly lost the ballista to a stack of 100 Halberdiers for an external dwelling of Air Elementals and a bunch of other stuff. On the flip side, Geddit also didn't disappoint, got Log and Earth, which came in handy later.
115 - Dragon Fly Hive with 6 Wyverns behind the demons.
116 - 8 Wyverns behind 14 Greater Cats, they bit a bit, lost a Wyvern and the Elementals took damage. Broke through the third Dragon Fly Hive using Magogs with Vistan, but ran out of meat, so decided to wait for 2 Birds, the Dragon Fly Hive 50+. Sent Ignissa home. Found the Shield of Lion's Courage in a corner of the spawn.
117 - brought up 2 Birds, Dragon Fly Hive with 8, then the Dragon takes an external dwelling of Psychic Elementals and on the last step reaches the external Tavern, successfully returning the army home. Buy a ballista in the secondary Castle, break Olem with it in the main, comes in handy) Beat the demons with Ignissa, they fall fairly easily, Earth levels up, external dwelling also no problem. Daremyth seizes the gold mine.
121 - Ignissa to the Stables, along the stat boosts and replenishes mana at home. The army takes the Medusa dwelling, a couple of crypts, and an external dwelling of Psychic Elementals.
122 - Level 2 Magic, have both Lightning Bolt and Blind, Ignissa runs to the GO, 50 mana and Mass Earth, Geddit along the stat boosts, the army behind the shield. Triple GO, Greater Nagas, Greater Roches, and regular Necroconi.
123 - take the shield behind a group of Hydras, return the army. Decided to break through all 3 GOs to level up on them. Got Tactics. Lost 1 Bird to a Lightning Bolt on the Roches and the ballista there as well. Immediately take the Citadel in the treasure zone, then beat 7 Archers for a box + Dragon Utopia, in the box 10k gold. Break into the Dragon Utopia with Ignissa and go home for mana. Buy Air Magic.
124 - take the Dragon Utopia, minimum roll, they give decent stuff, armor +4 Attack and Defense, sword +6. Fire Lady stats 24-18. Replenish Geddit's mana with artifacts.
125 - beat 14 Titans with Geddit for KV and a Hive, messed up a bit, lost a Bird and a couple of Psychic Elementals, the Hive with 8. With Ignissa, 14 Green Dragons for a Red Orb, then a horde of Liches with a Ghost Ship for a box with 10k experience (gives Leadership), the Hive on maximum roll, then Dimension Door for another Hive, +8.
Kyrre arrives.
126 - scout Kyrre's army (4 Angels, 2 Dragons, a dozen Cavaliers, 10 Grands, and about 30 Wyverns, 37 mana, stats around 10), take the Hive and the second central town, Swamp, with Flight. Then the noobs pick up Gladius, 2 Hives, a Black Orb, and Boots +2 to everything. Pick up Wings with Ignissa and attack Kyrre, after Mass Haste gg. Thanks for the game!
