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!
I also took a very long time to get out, since the GO was double unicorns-gr.cyclopes... well, there was an option via Black Dragon but that's not as pleasant-) on 121 I picked up a sword +5 all behind the djinns, then the collection of clues began; before that, I simply had no army (the guards happened to be strong), spent about 5 days collecting clues, then what I understood was a fatal mistake: I went for the necklace for +1 speed in battle which took 2 days and only then broke through the GO. Immediately I was greeted by a hat +6 all which gave me a stats advantage over the opp, but since the exit was delayed, the opp had taken the central city by this point and was taking Dragon Utopia. (the mistake in the game that = defeat was the quest for the amulet... 2 days in the center eh...) but I liked the game. Very even and fun))) Thanks for the game
