Got lucky with an external dwelling of gorgons and 2 external dwellings of lizardmen (though I only took one... a mistake :smile29: ) on respawn. After a couple of turns, I realized I had catastrophic problems with wood (a couple of stacks on respawn), so for the entire first week I was painfully searching for and securing wood and gold, to the point where I had to take minor losses out of stupidity.
On the second week, I had built gorgons and wyverns in the fort, but money was tight. The opponent's castle was blocked by 50+ trees, so I had to go the long way around (4 turns). I decided to level Gunnar, since only logistics could save me. I grabbed the gloves and boots for Gunnar :rolleyes: took the only visible Dragon Fly Hive.
On the third week, I had to do something, because I suspected the opponent was a necromancer and he was quickly grabbing castles from the computers. But everywhere was swamp, rocks, and snow. I decided to go into the treasure zone through the rocks; Gunnar picked up Earth magic, but mana was a pain. I made a huge mistake in the battle against the ogres that guarded the Dragon Fly Hive and a quest artifact (about 80 with a group stack on native ground), and as a result the Dragon Fly Hive was almost worthless.
The treasure zone turned out to be boring, so I went through the snow toward the opponent :( At least I picked up a couple of beehives along the way. And towards the end, a long-awaited miracle happened: the only visible Pandora's Box turned out to be all level 4... :eek:
On the fourth week, I reached the opponent; Gunnar was already running on 4000+ movement points, the only thing missing were roads, which the opponent had in abundance. I stole a level 3 Griffin Conservatory from right under his nose, captured a couple of castles. I grabbed another couple of beehives, revealed a Dragon Utopia (level 3, as it turned out later, it had the needed stat artifacts, but it never came to that).
On day 211, Gunnar took a morning run from one castle to the opponent's main on 4000 movement points (the opponent had gone into the treasure zone), and it turned out almost nothing had been bought there, including the Titans.
A surrender followed.
Thanks for the game.
