I had a scroll for 23 grand lying under my Castle, morale triggered and Troglodytes reached it in one turn, 80 still left after them. I cleared a box of 45 Harpies and things seemed to settle down, didn't find any hives but I captured the opponent's Inferno, made Pits for 123 and created 60 Demons. Found 2 Griffin Conservatories 1+2, a shield +4 all and KZ, ate a mini Dragon Utopia that gave 20k gold, and then it turned out the opponent was hanging around in the zone next to Inferno. Flew over and killed him.
As it turned out, the opponent had 2 paths and both were one-way exits...
GG thanks for the game.
