Textbook game. Got gunnar day 1 but didnt show him untill day 4. So had to work with Jeremy the first days, but that worked fine and I got exp earth pretty early.

Went to middle and took tans cowe town. Took 3 cons for 5 angels and a nix dwell week 2. Found enough gold to buy army to take a tope at 132. The tope was bad but at least gave gold.

Next day I retreated to middle town and took another tope there. It gave air book and lion shield. Bought art merc and paid 20 k for boots.

Next day I saw a tope with a scout and I jumped in there and I got earth book and HH. Went back for mana and next day I saw Anabel with no army on so I decided to kill her. Since I had major speed I went a little futher and found his army on a scout. I only had 6 angels on but it was plenty to kill almost all. I went even futher and could kill 5 angels on Cassiopeia and the game was long over. TFP.
We played without resets
Saw red's double, but was given a morale ring as a bonus; there were 2 conservatories above the Castle and Cassiopeia, so I didn't restart.
First conservatory was a one; took it on day 112; my army clears the respawn; Cassi runs along the road.
The road network turned out to be much worse than red's; no roads to the corner treasure zone with a village were generated at all; I ran past the computer, killing its noob — turned behind the lumber mill that was behind its mountains — came to the lot of pits... oops!... but at least I scouted :confused:
Took the second conservatory at the start of week 2 with Anabel; then 2 Zephyrs; the guards of the second — Minotaur (guarding a Voodoo Doll too) — showed how the morale ring doesn't affect them — minus one Cyclops, all Pirates, and 10 Butterflies :eek:
Cassi had already returned from the dead end, giving an angel to the noob so he could take a green; reinforcements were brought to her, and she ran back with 2 angels and Cyclops... into nowhere))
But in the treasure zone, the roof of a Dragon Utopia is visible; Cassiopeia turns to merge the army, breaks into the computer's Castle, and through a Zephyr she runs out to the Utopia while Anabel takes the conservatory and a Naga Bank to buy a feast... but at night, the opponent, with a freshly captured КВ, spots the Utopia through the wall and takes a teapot with КЗ out of it!... well, it's good that he saw both the Utopia and Anabel, jumping after them — there was nothing to counter an Air book on Gunnar with boots, gloves, and Expert Air, and an Earth tome likely wouldn't have saved us, but at least we finished earlier :)

good game, thanks for playing :smile20:
