From the start, many Lizardmen came - 23 in total. With them, I captured two cities in the first week; Tazar got Earth magic.
In the second week, I raked in money from two Dwarf Cottages, took two Dragon Fly Hives for 10 Wiverns, 2 Griffin Conservatories for 4 Angels, and on day 131 I broke through the Guarded Outpost and attacked Crag Hack in the Castle (he apparently gave himself away by standing at the Guarded Outpost's entrance). There was only basic fodder there, albeit with 3 Serpent Flies, so I won the final battle.
Thanks for the game.

Plenty of money at the respawn, I noticed late that the secondary areas were guarded by Grand Elves, so taking the rest was no longer an option; I didn't go for it in week 1. On day 121 I break through the Grand Elves and see a fourth-tier Griffin Conservatory; without Mass Slow, taking it wasn't an option - too many losses. Crag Hack got Earth Magic late and it stubbornly refused to level up. On day 127 I see that the opponent is about to break the Guarded Outpost and break in, so I decide to put Crag Hack in the Castle and somehow accept the fight there. It didn't work out; with Mass Slow we might have put up a fight, but without it, no. Thanks for the game.
