Saw by the observatory that my starting zone contained a lot of gold and decided by day 3 to try to go for Sea Serpents week 1 + castle even without a level 7 dwelling in my zone. Unfortunately, because of my own mistakes, I only had a Citadel by 121. The plan week 1 was also to go to Brown, however, I managed to move in the wrong direction and instead decided to try and rush towards Blue, but then ended up in Orange's zone instead. By 125, I took my first con which provided two angels, and I started gaining some momentum. Later, I caught Cassiopeia without her whole army, and she surrendered within possible reach of Blue's main town through a portal, but the road on the other side proved too long without fly - and so I retreated back looking for more cons and control. Some rounds later, I found TP in Shrine of Magic and then took my first Utopia which gave a lot of much-needed stats. I was now in a good position of control with many towns and thus opportunities, but when Cassiopeia moved towards one of my towns with her whole army, I saw that I could defeat her now rather than later. In FB, I caught most of Blue's weaker army with a deadly Meteor Shower before he had a chance to surrender. The rest of the battle was a mop-up. Afterwards, the opponent called 'gg'.

Thanks for playing!
