My opponent took 1 respawn and we started.
I got Labetha, then dug up Aislin in the tavern, thought about who to make the main. Decided to ask the scholar for advice, ended up with Aislin with Navigation, Labetha as main. At the respawn I found a stable and 4 crypts, nothing else good really, but money for the mage guild is oh so needed. I cleared the crypts, broke through to a secondary, took a Necro village. At home, the mage guild had neither Haste nor Slow, so I built another mage guild in the village, and that one had both. I found a hat +4 guarded by 10-19 demons and 2 gold mines guarded by wolves and mages. I took the wolves' mine right away with Haste, decided to take the mages' mine immediately too, since it was inconveniently located and I didn't want to come back. I attacked them with Labetha with skeletons + zombies from the village, shot them with archers, ran away and finished them off with a scout. The army had 10+ air elementals left, but the income became just wonderful. By week 1, day 1, I had dwellings 1-4 in the citadel.

On week 2, I started thinking about what to do next. From the secondary, there were 3 paths - a road to 50+ elves, a road to 50+ gargoyles, and a pathless route to 20+ ogres. I broke through the gargoyles, took an Inferno village. Labetha has Expert Water and Advanced Earth. I scouted and saw that in the zone behind the ogres there was a shield +2, and it was needed in a hut by my Conflux. I rushed to take it, and then my opponent arrived in that zone, took a Castle village, and broke through the Dragon Fly Hive guard. On my turn, I bring 15 Ice Elementals, take the quest artifact and attack the red player's hero with the army. He had 4 Wyverns, 3 Basilisks, about 20 Greater Basilisks, and some other troops. I cast Mass Bless and kill everyone in a few turns; his archers kill 2 Ice Elementals and 4-5 air elementals. I scout into the Thieves Guild, and am surprised to see that the red player's army is still stronger. But on day 1 of week 2 (127), I turn in the artifact, get 20 Crusaders, set them to fly, bring everything to Labetha, and seeing this, my opponent writes gg.

Thanks for the game.
It really hurt a lot that the level 2 guild didn't give Lightning Bolt. Otherwise, I could have taken the Dragon Fly Hive, and then the enemy's quest artifact too. And then I could have developed further. But this way - no. gg
