Outlaw!

Took all the restarts, Satyr - two, and off we go! The start was completely moneyless, 4 heroes, shooters everywhere, but saved by an external dwelling of air elementals found on the first turn, and of course Grindan with archery and Goshang with skeletons :D
Couldn't take the neighboring town's tower, the passage was reliably blocked by Archmages, and another passage upward was unpromising. Decided to bet on the ground Cartographer behind Nagas. On week 1, day 1, 7 visited the external market in the snow, and thanks to it built Zealots in the Citadel and used them to capture a second external air elemental dwelling.. On week 1, day 2, 3 upgraded 48 air elementals, bought them out and reveal the Cartographer. Things look bad - the opponent has 3 Griffin Conservatories on the respawn and one in the central swamp, but he's not taking them yet, so I need to rush into his territory, there's no other direction anyway (the town's road led to an exit teleport..). On week 1, day 2, 5 I'm 150MP short of a hero in the chain, that would have likely ended the game; the opponent scatters and moves his troops home. Then throughout all of week 3 there were cool maneuvers, I took a level-1 Griffin Conservatory from him, a Dwarf Cottage and a max Skeleton Chamber) Got money either for buying out or for bribing. Surrounded the central Inferno village with three heroes, and soon it fell. Grindan took a level-3 Griffin Conservatory there as well as a Town Portal scroll, which Satyr ran past for almost a week) Bought myself back there with the Patriarch, and with some kind of crap(c) took a level-3 Dragon Utopia without critical losses. Meanwhile Grindan experted Diplomacy, but no one wanted to join my puny army :D On week 1, day 3, 7 I finally got 19 Cyclops Kings to join, again not for free, but for 20+K for feeding, and put Goshang in a max Dragon Utopia, while Grindan Town Portal'd home to buy out yet another Flaxian feed, which is why I refused to build Phoenixes (since I only had 10k..) On week 1, day 4, 1 I get a mega-stack of 100 Storm Elementals, which don't get hit in Dragon Utopias, at all) transfer troops via Town Portal and 5 heroes, successfully storm the max Dragon Utopia, inside there's a royal reward - key visuals and +6 all. A couple of joins and I write to Satyr that I can see him. GG
Thanks for the game!
