Great start, stable 700MP from the castle and 7 heroes with Luna! On the second turn, however, it turns out not everything is so rosy.. 3 out of 3 roads are blocked.. have to take a detour through the snow.. At the resp there is a Griffin Conservatory and an external dwelling of psychics for energy, but it's far away, basically nonexistent. :)
I level up to expert Fire by 113 and break 30 Manticores for a sword +2+2, and a Pandora's Box for all Earth (just in time, I leveled Wisdom) :smile03: Next, the plan is simple: find a path to the opponent and kill them, build a University, buy Earth. Then on the snow I take a village, split my forces there, kill a nearby green Rampart with a ton of troops from Ivor using a lich, take Boots of Speed, and find my native village with a bunch of external dwellings and Pandora's Boxes via wasteland. One of them, for 90 Pit Fiends, I take on the third (!) attempt only (almost got killed there, Pit Lords resurrected demons right in the wall of fire.. but 2 demons didn't kill the fly)), but the Pandora's Box contains a mega-stack of 50 Earth Elementals! Immediately 2 clues for 12 Wis, a Pandora's Box for all Fire, double mana, and I kill 7 Ghosts for a Blue Hat by 117, next to them a teleporter to the opponent. By 121 full buyout and I siege their castle.
Thanks for the game!
