Scrawled a Citadel on Conflux. At 126 I refused to take the external dwelling of birds in favor of buying Earth Magic (for Shield, there was no Slow), because the opponent had red Drakes without Expert Haste and it was impossible to stack negative morale on them. Lost a huge pile of troops due to negative morale... And having emerged at 123, I only managed to grab a +5 All sword and +6 armor. I was immediately overwhelmed by Tyraxor with mana stats and Mass Slow. Before that, I had traded resources for the ransom, but since I don't calculate exactly how much is needed, I was two thousand short.
