OFB-8

We picked all the resources, ended up with a block of cyclopes. Not a single pile of crystals, so by the first week I was left without horses and elves, and lost in a Dwarf Cottage on day 15 with overgrowth. In short, a nightmare. No money, no building. Nothing — I spent the whole second week fumbling around my own treasure zone, collecting money, and then on top of that an enemy appeared from a teleport on angels right behind the cyclopes but didn't come at me. I started to feel really worried about the result.. On the third week I found the first Griffin Conservatory with 3 angels and two Dragon Fly Hives with 12 wyverns. I took a Pandora's box giving all earth magic with basic wisdom — I cursed myself for a long time, nearly broke my keyboard... thankfully there was another one nearby, which I prudently took after already having advanced wisdom) Also, the Necropolis gave me an Imp, covering me once again) I calmed down a bit, feeling that the map was going my way. I took 2 Dragon Utopias, soon got a 5th-level hat, and started slowly expanding my territory. 15 archers, 2 flax with birds, built the Necropolis. I was expecting a speedrunner with the shackles, and that's exactly what happened.
PS. To be fair, in an honest fight it would have been hard to win.
Thanks for the game!
