The first 3 weeks I ran around with a scout at 1700 movement points along long roads looking for something. Found a few Dragon Fly Hives and that was it. By the fourth week I built two guilds, got Dimension Door, and had some chances. The scout with DD jumped over the mountains into some treasure zone where a Dragon Utopia was visible. Collected 2 Dragon Utopias there, Dragon Fly Hives, a Griffin Conservatory, which gave stats and control. At the start of the second month I took another Dragon Utopia at the respawn of the pink player, which gave a Vial of Mana. The scout with good stats is showing up as top 1 in power in the tavern, I decide to catch the opponent with Shackles of War. On 216 I ambush Galthran; in the fight both have high-level magic, but Shakti has 400+ mana vs Galthran's 170, the opponent doesn't have enough mana for Berserk/Blind/Resurrection.
Thanks for the game.
