We couldn't get in touch for a long time, the Necro appeared from above, but there wasn't much to necro with, and no one wanted to level necro, so without a twinge of conscience I switched to Grindan, by the end of the first [week] I killed the Bog-Dweller and Conflux, but got battered, as a result I started the second week with 4 Wyverns, 35 Lizardmen, and built the birds in Conflux, followed by 2 Dragon Fly Hives for 16 Wyverns, maximum conflux. At the same time, using the noobs on the Serpents, I sneaked through to the opponent, took almost all his towns from him, and without ever showing my army and daddy, I cornered the opponent with his own un-purchased army. A surrender followed... Thanks for the game.
I clumsily transferred the troops along the chain, leaving the Elves in the Castle, and at that very moment a Scout on a Grand [Dragon] Fly ran out. And then the string of mistakes began...
Not calculating that the opponent could reach the small Castle - I gave it up...
Then (and I was playing against HellLight and knew I had to focus) a newly purchased Scout takes the main town because the distance between them was exactly one move via the metro. Just a childish mistake!
Realizing that throwing away the already meager troops under my own walls wasn't an option - I rushed to the Air tome for 20-49 Manticores, clearing Dragon Fly Hives along the way, with the prospect of reaching the enemy Inferno. The Manticores dropped, generously "gifting" me with morale penalties and losses, and with a tome in my backpack, I take over the practically unbuilt Inferno...
I could have kept playing for a while longer. Collected some chests, Dragon Fly Hives. Especially since I had Dimension Door, but late night and the moral downturn from losing the main town "said GG".
Thanks for the game - it's with players like these that you learn to always be on guard, rather than just braindead grinding for the finale.
