We restarted and began. I gave up the corner zone, middle roads, plenty of gold, plenty of army. On month 1 day 14, Luna burns 19 djinns and gets 40 marks in Pandora in an adjacent zone. On month 1 day 15, she steals the Pandora box for the entire 5, it's nice to have air control early. Soon she gets the Log. On day 23, in a box next to the marks, they give 25 griffins, and then 30 monks — and who needs diplomats? I take a Griffin Conservatory and a prison — there's Gosh with Offense and Defense. Perfect for the Conservatory I scout later. There was a choice of 2 one-way portals, I entered the one that looked nicer, with a path. Gosh took Conservatory 3, where he lost the meat, but the monks survived along with the horses. On day 25, I run along the path and meet the opponent. Low mana, not enough for Dimension Door. On day 26, I take away Conflux, but the bird hasn't been bought for the opponent yet. Small thing, but nice. On day 27, I try to catch up to Adele, but I guess the direction wrong, though I show that I have Dimension Door. Things are worse there, and Adele surrenders :smile36:
