"only XL-2"

I didn't play well; I gave away too many Elves, and the AI took advantage of them. I should have given away what I wasn't using. Then, there were some minor mistakes that cost me around 5000 gold, and in the final, I didn't build a Citadel when defending the castle. I could have also defended a Crown that gave +4 to Knowledge, but I didn't. Overall, it was a tough game despite the one-sided map and the difficult terrain. And I even got caught in a red rush.
Thanks for the game!
