"only XL-2"

A pretty good spawn, one Necropolis nearby (2-4). The roads are also quite decent. On week 1, I killed an AI Conflux. At Flax's spawn point, there are 2 external dwellings of Air Elementals, 2 Necropolises, a Library, and a Dragon Fly Hive + lots of gold. By day 121, I had 60+ Air Elementals, plus a stack of Troglodytes. I don't remember exactly, but around the middle of week 2, with Mass Slow, I took down a max-level Necropolis, then a couple more Necropolises, and finally a stack of Angels. Shakhti leveled up well + I built a Grail building (GM5) on week 2, since the resources were fine — Town Portal and Dimension Door were given there. I learned Wisdom and, after picking up 3 more Dragon Fly Hives and Boots, ran to the 2 explored Dragon Utopias, where I was given: a Water Book, a Sword of Hellfire (KSh), a +10 SP armor, a Gladius, a +5 defense item, a Resistance Necklace, a +2/+2 Cloak (which I already had), and a +5 defense shield. On week 4, the opponent showed up; using the Level 5 Cap (from the home Dragon Utopia, by the way :D), they left their army with a scout hero and jumped not far away. I naturally attacked the very next turn — they didn't have enough gold for a buyout, plus the scout hero had stats of 2 2 4 3, while I had 26 14 20 9 :D and our army power was almost equal, with a slight edge in my favor. Thanks for the game! :D :D
