We each picked two starting locations, and every time, we spawned in the Underground. This time, too, we spawned in the Underground, but there was a stash of Vampires, Liches, and 3 Road Warriors. I decided to play. The passage to the second level in the Underground cost over 20 Gold Golems, and the lift cost Gold Wasps. A little later, I got close to the Golems and saw that right behind them were over 20 Trolls guarding a treasure chest... I was disappointed. And there was no Sulfur anywhere. I gathered everything I could find at the starting location, put down the Vampires, bought what I could, and started attacking the Wasps, hoping that there would be a weak guard above. There were Gold Demons – I got lucky. I claimed the Swamp, ran around there a bit, found some Sulfur, and managed to build Stables in the Citadel.
On the second level, I took a stash of Liches behind the Ifrits, and there was also a treasure chest worth 5k experience points. I claimed the Dungeon, took a 2/2 sword. I upgraded the Stables and Liches, and the treasure chest gave me 20 Gold Medusas. I went to the lift, looking for the opponent. There, I found Ivor with 2 Angels. I killed one, he reduced my troops a bit, and then offered a bribe. I secretly took a pendant +1 to speed and a Naga Bank (3), and retreated. Ivor, with over 60 Gold Golems and other troops, chased after me. I went into the Dungeon and accepted the battle: the Golems didn't hit very hard, even with Ivor, and I managed to win.

Thanks for the game!
