There were a couple of external gremlins, one each of mages and giants, and boots next to the ogres. The first three roads turned out to be false — they led into blocks. But then I started quickly racking up experience with the piercing gremlins. My home village was rich in externals — a pair of nagas, a pair of djinns, and 3 gremlins, and there were also a couple of Dragon Utopia, Pandora at level 4. I managed to take the orator's hat from behind the horde of denders on the second turn. Gurni's parameters were three times higher, so I began accumulating power and clearing the Dragon Utopia. In the end, I took both the starting and main (swamp) cities. And then, after several mutual skirmishes, the opponent admitted defeat. Thanks for the game.
