"Newcomer-2014. Summer"

raked everything over, on 111 I probe a respawn — nothing decent, I dive into the adjacent respawn through Centaurs, lose all my meat and 40+ Demons, fled into 6 heroes
112. I bring up Demons, head toward a neutral town, on the way I kill a group of Centaurs, goblins, a group of Gremlins, and right before the town (Conflux) there are spearmen guarding a level 3 spell scroll, nothing to fight with, I step off the road to clear chests and resources, at my own respawn I reveal an Efreeti and Devil spawn point (behind Wizards + Peasants)
by 117 I grabbed Conflux, got wiped, took the Efreeti spawn point, spotted a Dragon Utopia and 2 Dragon Fly Hives but by a VERY long detour, I decide to go into the underground through water elementals
on week 2 I grabbed Necropolis in the underground, burned a Shield +4 with Red Dragons, didn't take a single Dragon Fly Hive, not a single Griffin Conservatory, but boosted stats from various buildings, took a Pandora's Box for 10k experience > expert Logistics and advanced Earth (and earlier I took Papal Water)
on week 3 I get wiped, grab a Shield +4 all, go down clearing 2 Dragon Fly Hives, burn a Chest for a group of Devils, go further, take a Sword +6 attack, grab a Dungeon, double my mana (ran without mana for 2 weeks).
on week 4 I grab a Chest, take a Pandora's Box for gold, another 2 small Dragon Fly Hives, no Dragon Utopia in sight (except a VERY distant one), by 147 I get wiped, kill Wizards, take the Devil spawn point, build them in the town, i.e. the next day 6 Devils.
211 — month of Devils +5, but not enough gold to buy them all, I decide to attack through GO Efreeti(89), stats 29 18 15 13, weapon, armor, tactics, Earth, Logistics, Water, Wisdom, expert Air, 10 Devils, 18 group Efreeti, 30 Swarms. I lose 2 Devils and 3 Swarms there, move deeper into the opponent's respawn, don't see the town, pass the turn > opponent surrenders, he had no control (and neither did I), in terms of army maybe the advantage wasn't that big, but stats were the deciding factor 100%, thanks for the game
