Got cleaned out, then Deesa came in on 3 stacks and a walker, he took the ballista from Pirri, and off we went. First, I upgraded the birds in the citadel, killed a Castle AI opponent — he was a cheapskate, didn't even bet a thousand. Then I went into a triple, on 117 I got hasty and lost 3 birds to elves with Ghost Dragons. On the second, a Dragon Fly Hive on 6, and I met the opponent in the underground. He had 3 Minotaurs and 3 Angels. Thanks to Tactics on the birds and Dire Wolves, I clipped 2 of his Angels — he bought himself off. On the third, endless wandering in the underground. I reached a Necropolis AI without finding anything interesting. On the fourth, a Citadel AI with Cyclopes took my Necropolis castle... in short, whew... I gave up on that, turned back to my corner triple. On the way there were 2 Griffin Conservatories, Kleva came in. There I also found boots and cleared both level-2 Griffin Conservatories. In the triple, I found Necro Boots and 4 Dragon Fly Hives. I cleared a Dragon Utopia, got a Ring of the Magi, a Mage's Hat, and a +3+3 shield... slowly cleared a couple more Dragon Utopias. On the first week of the second month, an AI took a Citadel one, I got my revenge, humiliated him, only lost 13 Skeletons. Also cleared a level-2 Griffin Conservatory. Built Angels in the Castle. Then the opponent came, right after another Dragon Utopia where I got a +5 all stats sword. I had 1000+ Skeletons, 70 Angels, 10 Angels. He had 8 Angels, 12 Minotaurs, 2 Angels, 50 Grands, and 23 Dendroids. Stat-wise, he was ahead of me by about +15 across the board. I was fighting with Shackles of War and the Orb of the Firmament. Tactics and the Cape of +2 Speed were shared. I rammed his Grands with Angels for -35, and after that, everything was clear.

Thanks for the game!
