"Newcomer-2014. Winter"

Everyone has finished their week 1 clears, and I got a very difficult start — Tazar with 14 Goblins, ranged units not built, blocked everywhere, no money. Somehow I got rolling, built Griffins, broke into the underground through the ogre lords and regular ogres, ending up with 1 Griffin, 2 Basiliks, and 6 Archers. I cleared Inferno, broke through the second passage, and found a fork (I thought it would only be GO) — one road leads to my native secondary hero.
On the second week I took my native secondary hero, Tazar already with Logistics and Earth Magic. I picked up a few artifacts, rushed a level 2 Griffin Conservatory. Then I got rolling, first entering the underground treasure zone, where I freed a level 5 Luna. Then a treasure zone on lava, several Hives, a Dragon Utopia with Plate Mail and the Book of Air, and the University. I built Griffins in the secondary town.
On week 1, day 4, with upgraded Griffins and full recruitment, I jump over GO, where there's immediately a box for the entire level 4. I take the towns, killing the losers. Gunnar got lost in a treasure zone on swamp. On week 2, day 1, he comes running but barely can't reach me in my town. I decided not to recruit and not to drag it out. I had greysaged 3 Archangels and 50 upgraded Griffins, which inspired confidence. There was the Cloak of the Undead King and a decent amount of troops, but still victory was mine.

Thanks for the game!
