I spent my rests, had to play with what I was given, and nothing interesting came up. I found a level 1 Griffin Conservatory and took it on day 1 week 2 month 1, on day 2 week 2 month 1 I broke into a treasure zone, from which I brought back some ducks and a pendant for morale/luck; there was also a Dragon Utopia there, but nothing to take it with. I ran to the other side, there was a treasure zone on snow, where I scouted two more Dragon Utopias, but again nothing to take them with. I take the swamp with a Capitol.

I turn around and on day 1 week 4 month 1 I escape through an Inferno player's zone to an adjacent zone, from which I planned to enter the underground treasure zone. This adjacent zone was controlled by the opponent until the moment I managed to take a village with a scout hero (though this didn't stop his scout hero from moving through it later, as the village was far from the crossroads). So, Nila escaped two turns away from the Inferno castle, on day 2 week 4 month 1 Shakti bursts in with Flight and takes Inferno. Then Nila escapes into the underground treasure zone, where I found two Dragon Fly Hives and by the end of the week — three Dragon Utopias. Control is achieved, homes are built, plus Dimension Door and Flight, Nila without Logistics and Earth Magic gets First Aid. After barely leveling up Advanced Earth Magic to Theodorus, I head home and buy Earth Magic for Nila in a Conflux village.

Next comes taking four more Dragon Utopias, I overtake Shakti in stats, but his armies are still bigger; the Miner goes on the attack, and in the end I hole up in the swamp: 3 Angels (I found a second Griffin Conservatory for 2 Angels already in the second month), 40 grand ducks, Gremlins, Mages, and other small fry. Stats 25 25, red orb, elixir, maximum luck and morale, speed cloak which I forgot to equip. Shakti attacks; there are 13 Angels, 15 White Bears, 150 Evil Eyes, 450 Troglodytes, stats 17 12. The opponent writes GG.

Thanks for the game.
