Interesting game, with contact at the start of week 2. Both of us ended up without week 1 troops. We scattered to different sides with the growth. Later, I managed to drain another growth by defending the castle against a computer-controlled Machette using pure Rampart troops; Jedid didn’t forgive but was out of oil.
I found the swamp computer in the castle, which had killed a boosted Crag the turn before, decided to take revenge, and ended up losing Jedid as well :D
In the end, I have 2 homeless heroes running around the map in week 3. I have meat, but the most leveled hero is Luna at level 4 :D, and Machette has no troops but has a good Hydra. And Orange was the strongest, shining in the tavern :D. I almost immediately figured out where the Grail was and started digging. Managed to dig it up on the 8th try, brought it to the confluence, and began reclaiming resources for the Mage Guild.
Luna leveled up decently during that time; after the 5th Mage Guild (on day 147), I started breaking Dragon Utopias, not without difficulty, but still. On day 212, I can't reach 1 cell to catch Machette on the charge, but I manage to snatch the max factory from under his nose. The next turn, I reach him calmly; battle stats are equal, magic advantage is significant. I could have dragged it out and dismantled everything with Implosion and Chain Lightning, but I decided to finish it right away and hit him with Armageddon. I had Beholders and Giant Golems left. As for artifacts, only the boots dropped decently. Turn in the next day.

TFP!
