On day 112, I cast View Air at my respawn and see the red player through the mountains. Wonder what their army is like??? Kyrre got stuck at a block in the treasure zone, turned back.
On day 113, I manage to peek - up to 20 Demons, up to 20 Gogs. So, they sacrificed a bunch of Demons (I have 70+) and a couple of Gogs. That's good. Turns out the opponent sacrificed everything else this turn (on 50 Mages), ending up with 7 Magogs...
On day 114, after recruiting Efreeti, I break into the treasure zone on the left. There's a Dragon Fly Hive, Pandora's Box behind Devils, Bracers of Defense.
On day 115, I captured a village there, cast View Air. Dragon Utopia, another Pandora's Box. But the most interesting things are Shield +4 to all stats behind 50- Unicorns and Helm +6 to all stats behind 50- Wyverns. Pyre got Earth magic, there's an external dwelling of Gogs, so claiming these artifacts by the second week might be possible.
On day 116, I took the Dwarf Cottage on 15 under Castle control. Gave Pyre Tactics.
And on day 117, I rushed to the treasure zone down towards the Pandora's Boxes. Meanwhile, Shakti, thanks to Expert Tactics, easily broke through the horde of Archers and captured the Barbarian's Castle. There's 2000 gold there. Need to level Pyre somehow... Build order - up to Citadel.
On day 121, I have to build Marketplaces to be able to buy properly. Next, I hit the 66 Ghosts guarding the Zeffir, don't go into the Zeffir itself, too little speed, and all my mana was stolen. I attack the Trolls guarding the Pandora's Box. There are unexpectedly exactly 49 of them. Fortunately, the terrain was good, so I escaped them with the loss of 1 Pit Fiend and most of the Cerberi. Inside the Pandora's Box - 20 Asids.
Next, I fairly easily break through 60+ Basilisks. They give 10k experience, I level up all the necessary skills. Just in case, I take 1 Serpent from the external dwelling, grab the Dragon Fly Hive for 8, where I sacrificed almost all Demons.
On day 123 - Mana Well, learn Slow in the Barbarian town, run for the Shield. Along the way, I grab the Bracers, but they won't be needed. I also break into zone 8. There are 2 more Dragon Fly Hives there. I slowly start raising Demons, but there are hardly any troops to sacrifice.
On day 124, I take the Shield, split up for the Helm.
On day 125, Kyrre grabs two Dragon Fly Hives, giving 4+12 Wyverns. Next, I grab the Helm, split up and head home, refill mana. Need to grab a couple of Pandora's Boxes, the Dragon Utopia, and hope for map control to be able to attack at the start of week 3.
On day 126, I clean up the Naga Bank for 4, the last Dragon Fly Hive for 6, get 15k gold from the Pandora's Box behind Devils, break through 7 Angels for another one right next to the Dragon Utopia.
On day 127, I take the Box - got all Air Magic! I enter the Dragon Utopia, lose half the Demons and 1 Efreet, get Tomes of Fire and Water, and the Recanter's Cloak. I split up in the Barbarian town, prepare the attack.
On day 131, I pick up growth, use Fly to get near the portal leading to the opponent's respawn. The Kettle is not broken. I take it. Dimension Door to the village near the Shield - it's not even colored. I build a Tavern, grab the Dragon Fly Hive for 6, chase away their hero, build a path to the Shield.
Seeing this outrage, the opponent capitulates.
Thank you for the game!
