The random generated map gave me a hometown native creature dwelling, and on top of that there were also Tower and Dungeon, so you couldn't go wrong with where to head... yeah, right! :D the road network turned out to be bugged; I ran toward the dwelling, but ended up at the guard of a treasure zone))) at least I scouted a whole 4 Griffin Conservatories, and all of them large! :) I reached the dwelling by a completely different road as a weakling with no army and got into the town for free, where there was a Castle with no guard and the mage guild was not built yet))) thanks to that I managed to hold the town
in the end, 2 growths of hefty low-level Conflux mobs plus 2 air external dwellings, and of course the bird homes!
at the start of week 2, the Griffin Conservatories started falling in a chain
there were as many as 4 candidates for main heroes of level 5+, but the fish was the most promising
I planned to split the army in half to farm 2 treasure zones at once, but my opponent was heavily offended by his neighbor — also Conflux — who took back his own town and cut him off from the nearest treasure zone; we decided not to continue

gg, thanks for the game :)
