My start was marked by the loss of my starting army (in the maxi-demon map), but the layout was so great that I had to play, and it featured at least 7 conservatories!! True, the first two I checked were maxed out, but considering the option of taking a hydra lair + another one with 121 creatures (totaling 6 hydras!) - it was perfect! There was also a lot of gold, but all this loot was scattered around the corners. And the strategic sulfur was only taken on level 117, but after that, everything went smoothly, elegantly, and just barely.
But all this beauty was ruined by another opponent's blunder.
