Very long game. I had a weak army and bad starting skills on Kyrre so I couldn't get much speed early on. No stats boosting arts either. My plan was to build Dragons in town week 1 but I failed - not enough crystals. I also did not take the Dragon dwelling week 1, which was a total failure. I took all the hives I saw, except the most distant one, and attacked a tope in my zone. The arts were so good I almost rage quit (Captain's Hat, Red Orb, Statesman's Medal, Armor of Wonder). I had to wait until week 3 to kill the GO. For the most part of week 3 my opponent had better stats and stronger army so I decided to break into another zone, where I found 2 topes, one of which had the Teapot at last. I collected my army and attacked Shakti in the desert on 142 with 900+ mana and won.

Thanks for the game!
