I’m doing great—near the Castle, there are 2 XP pillars very conveniently located, and I grabbed the Boots at 111:) Jeremy got Earth magic, and Gunnar arrived at 115. Good amount of gold, and I’ve had an almost constant advantage in Castles and heroes. End of the week: Nix in the Citadel. By 121, the Swamp is captured, and 2 Griffin Conservatories are visible. Both were checked and turned out to be ideal for my situation—both level 2 dwellings. The opponent showed up, and there was an immediate risk of losing my main. But I had already moved all my troops out, and the priority target was the Blue Cap, which I took smoothly. As it turned out, the opponent had also seen it and had his sights on it, giving up an attack on my Castle. After that, Jeremy and Gunnar, with 3.5-4k movement points each, both having Boots and Stables, cleared everything in sight. The opponent got no control.
Thanks for the play!
