We met quite early, and my opponent was heavily relying on the "dimmer" strategy. The action took place near the castle, which my opponent easily controlled and used to effectively harass me. I had a Chain Lightning scroll, and I built a GM4 (Grand Mage 4) structure to try and survive against the harassment. My mage's stats were decent. But the harassment ended, and my opponent allowed me to farm. I gathered a lot of bones, found 2 missing parts for the Amulet of the Dead God, took a level 4 consultant, and 2 Nagabanks for buying and upgrading troops. All of this gave me a huge advantage in the final battle.
It was an interesting game. Thank you.
