A huge respawn with lots of external dwellings and Dragon Utopias was rolled. Kyrre appeared in the tavern. Had Boots of Speed from the middle of Week 1 and Gloves of Haste from the start of Week 2.
In general, during the first week I took external dwellings — 3 Unicorns, 1 Dragons, 1 Pegasi, 1 Elves. I cleared one more external dwelling of Elves, but was a couple of steps short of claiming it. From Pandora's Box I got gr. Dwarves. The respawn had a ton of Dragon Utopias, two different paths to the GO.
On D1W2 I took 2 Griffin Conservatories, 2+4, and ran through the Library to the GO. I grabbed a couple of Dragon Fly Hives for 12 Wyverns, got the Tome of Fire Magic from a Crypt.
I broke through the GO on D3W2, captured the central town on D4W2. The road ended near that town. I ran through trackless terrain, luckily managed to level up Pathfinding. From the Archers I took the Shield +4 to all stats; from a Prison I freed a hero with Scholar and Slow, allowing me to get Mass Slow with my recently leveled Earth Magic.
Next turn I would have taken the second central Castle, the Dragon Fly Hive, and started breaking Dragon Utopias without losses. And there were just a ton of Dragon Utopias; they would have given everything needed.
In short, I got lucky. My opponent couldn't handle his Dragon Utopia and stayed in it forever.
Thank you for the game!
