Very lucky with the Griffin Conservatories. Pulled 17 angels from them. Took only one Inferno computer on the first week and went to its treasure zone. The treasure zone turned out to be huge and also Inferno. With two devil dwellings, I built them at the Inferno computer and Town Portal'd them to my main. After that, nothing but luck: 5 Dragon Utopias, Town Portal and Dimension Door scrolls. Built 5 Mage Guilds in my main.

By the end of the third week, I upgraded the devils, took two computers — Castle and Swamp — upgrading about 20 ducks and roughly the same number of angels. Having 20 Archangels, 10 Archdevils, and about 20 Monks, it was very unexpected to learn that my army strength was weaker.

On week 4 day 1, Kyrre went on foot to my main through the center. In the army there: 18 Conflux birds, 3 Chaos Hydras, 7 Green Dragons, 70 ducks, and Psychic Elementals with Air Elementals (10 and 50 or so). Stats were quite equal. I attacked with a Curse of the Netherworld scroll and the Archangels couldn't not win. GG.

I admit having luck in both games of this stage. The distance from 2-0 to 0-2 was small. Thanks to my opponent for the interesting games!

It was a sweaty game)

On week 1 day 1, I took a Citadel computer, on day 2 Conflux. On day 3, I saw through the tavern that my opponent had an angel; I decided not to restart, even though I could. Had a rich income from money, lots of crypts. Result of the first week — all 3 computers and a village in one of the treasure zones cleared, Conflux birds and bears built in the Citadel.

Then the pace slowed down. For all the treasure zones and respawns — one empty double Dragon Utopia. The tavern kept taunting me, alternately showing that my opponent had a bigger army and better stats. Gathered beehives, turned in quests for 5 red and 3 black dragons, built a second Conflux village up to birds in the castle, and rode to the snowy center, where I found two more Dragon Utopias off-road, which added stats but gave no control, just like the 2 built Mage Guilds.

On week 4 day 1, I bought everything and rushed at my opponent, who attacked on his turn. I had an Implosion scroll and a Book of Fire; maybe without a Curse of the Netherworld scroll there would have been some chance.

Thanks for the game and good luck in the rest.
