I built up from the pirate external dwelling on the respawn and got my native hero out of prison. On the second week, I moved to the center, but bugged roads left me without the central village. I managed to reach the orange player, but was too scared to attack his Castle. I took another road to the center. Along the way, I gathered a stack of angels, took the Dragon Utopia, and burst into the opponent's respawn. From the fourth week on, I chased him down.
Thanks for the game.
