A tough economic start—even the arriving Luna didn’t help, and on top of that, I lost water to a schoolboy. In the end, instead of burning everything down, I just blindly hoarded gold. I barely managed to build birds in the Citadel with an external dwelling for birds and psychos. Then I picked up three Dragon Fly Hives on respawn, a Sword +5 All, and КЗ. My power rating hit 123, and I immediately took the central barbarian Castle. The next turn, I ran into Kyrre near a Pandora’s Box—I had to beat a horde of enchanters just to reach her; without armor it was painful, half my birds gone. In the finals, with roughly equal raw stats, Explosion and a maxed-out Advanced Haste sealed the deal. Thanks for the game.
