We prayed to the RNG gods and took a lucky start :rolleyes:
I ended up with the Red color. Right under my Castle, I got a block of Cerberi. I took a Sword 2/2 and, at the cost of 30 Troglodytes, cleared a Pandora's Box with 45 Harpies. Then I found a Griffin Conservatory 1 along the road, and it took off :smile14:
One of the Treasure Caches turned out to be native, with an external dwelling of Dragons and a native village.
End of week 1: 3 Dragons.
Grim Harpies + Spirit of Oppression showed their full potential, allowing Shakti to clear strong objects in the early game.
My opponent wasn't as lucky with his start; Tazik just couldn't catch up to Shak-ter.
Thanks for the game!
