Paid 7K total for the castle and color, plus another 500 from Dani for rerolling my beloved trash inferno-necro. We played without restarts, I think. I have a market next to the castle along the road, 2 native dwellings in the tavern, and by 111 two hives with simple guards revealed. The only downside of the map is the very distant GO — on full speed with expert logistics, 2+ days. By 121 I had gathered 7 angels and 24 Wyverns; on 122, before leaving, I took an excellent Dragon Utopia-trash (Wings, +3 all, +2 all), losing an Overlord and 6 Wyverns. Considering the focus on AOTD, those stat artifacts made me happy. As always, only a damn skull was missing. On 123 I speed-run into the center, picking up another 2 hives for a total of 10 Wyverns with leftover units deeper in the respawn. I don't remember which GO I cleared without oil (Shakti leveled fire, earth appeared much later), so I left 1 angel and a few Wyverns there. Right after, I took another Dragon Utopia-tier two with a bunch of junk, but with a skull! The opponent shows stats near 30, but AOTD with combat stats under 20 is reassuring. I try to find the KSh but never do until the end of the game. The center is split into two halves; until the end of the second week, each farms their own. I head to a snowy adjacent zone, which turns out to be very lucky in terms of hives. On 132, Crag Hack arrives with combat stats 30+ and takes my village on the edge of the snow, staying near it as the timer runs out. His army is thin, so I decide to attack. Crag Hack has a cloak and a bolt over 1000+, but my stack of 75 Wyverns carries it; in the end, all die except my 21 Wyverns. It turned out Crag Hack was wearing bracers, which was quite pleasing. Interestingly, both had underleveled advanced air (133:D). If either had expert, mass haste could have tipped the scales heavily, but as it happened, it was a close call. Thanks for the interesting game!
