The opponent was dealt bad paths.

Actually, those paths were generally enough; at the end of the second one there were a bunch of useful artifacts, then a TP scroll was found, I got DD on the 3rd try (this was around 132-133), and 2 Flux mages with exp. earth and air. In 3 Dragon Utopias I got decent stats, but the army was small. And the opponent had already captured 4 comps by 123. Then towards the end in 2 Dragon Utopias the opponent found full control (I managed to take the Castle with a GM under construction) and a red orb, which left me with no prospects. Thanks for the game.
