On the first week, I had to fight through 12 monks for a butterfly nest; luck took a turn for the worse when I was given a choice between navigation or gold. Through combat, I took the Barbarian town from green and fought with an annoying swamp-dwelling orange player. A monk arrived on the second week; I only started leveling up toward the end of the second. I scouted out some "cans" (consolidated units) and Dragon Utopias in my treasure zone. On the first week, I built 1-4 in the fort and bears in the Castle. I could barely manage to get birds by the end of the second. From 311, I took two 3-4 "cans". I started gaining momentum; Izra began building up skeletons. Then came some farming in two treasure zones with a Dragon Utopia, upgrading the guild in the village up to Dimension Door and Town Portal. Having fattened up and captured about 70% of the map with a bunch of towns and stats near 40, I went to look for the opponent. He had already finished eating his treasure zones and ported home. The finale was at 226, where I had the advantage in stats and an Armageddon for 2k, but the opponent had a Cloak of Denial and an elixir (which I lacked a ring for—couldn't find one anywhere), and Tazar easily took the victory with bracers.
After this battle, I collected the remaining unexplored Dragon Utopias, but realized that defeating Tazar would still be impossible, so I surrendered.
Thanks for the game.
