During the first week, I barely managed to break through to my home bot and kill it—fortunately, I had a Dimmer and a well nearby that I frequently ran back to. I was able to capture the bot and figure out more or less where to push, although the adjacent zone contained nothing but large numbers of ranged guards. We both ended up in terrible conditions for the game, and the opponent even had a bug with a portal that wouldn't trigger. It was all decided by chance when the scholar gave me Dimension Door, and just as importantly, I spotted the opponent right behind a mountain. I crushed him in his Castle, and that was гг.
Thanks for the game and for your time.
