"only XL-3"

A good surrender with Moner, Dragon Fly Hive and level 4 Griffin Conservatory at the respawn. Money was tight, but I placed birds on the first. The second week began with getting money to buy an army in the adjacent zone via roadless travel, after which I went to the center, where I found a Dragon Fly Hive, the 3rd part of AotD, and suddenly came across the opponent. I started cutting down his horses, but he surrendered.
Thanks for the game!
