It was a fast-paced game; as usual, the Elves didn't show up, but there were a decent number of Horsemen, with two native units. During the capture phase, they gave us a bit of a hard time, but even though one was empty, the second one turned out to have 60 Horsemen. I upgraded and started attacking everything I could. I found a Castle Guard behind some earthworks and a couple of other good artifacts. In the first week, I killed a couple of opponents and took a lot of towns. In the second week, I immediately secured a Castle and started a four-way alliance. Then, I controlled the Winged units for a while, with over 20 Phantom units. By the end of the week, I had a Utopia with a Knight Vanguard, and a Crystal Shard of Knowledge nearby, so I had everything I needed for a good life. I sat down at the computer to play against the Swamp faction, and at the beginning of the third turn, a Shaman attacked me. I had almost no mana. Two explosions with a small spell hit my Angels, and I managed to take out some of his units. The opponent offered a truce. A few turns later, I took almost all of his towns and attacked in a corner town. I had a solid stack of Monarchs with antimagic and slightly better stats, and he surrendered.
