At the respawn, there are 5 gremlin caches (4 of them nearby). On the 2nd, I take two tier-3 Griffin Conservatories and a +6 shield. On the 3rd, I take a minimum-size Dragon Utopia, which gives a Cap of Knowledge (+10 knowledge) and a Sword +2 attack/defense. I enter a near-maximum Dragon Utopia and emerge with 3 Angels. It gives a Breastplate +4 attack/defense. (There was another Dragon Utopia above, a Dragon Fly Hive with a Griffin Conservatory, but I find out about that later.) I buy Necropolis horses from two caches + 3 Titans and head to the opponent with 360 mana and a Chain Lightning dealing 850. But it didn't get to the finals; the opponent forfeits and surrenders.
Thanks for the game.
