I focused on leveling up several heroes for full control and sniping towns; I was very afraid of exposing myself since there were many portals, including four-way ones. Only in the last 2 weeks did I start powering up ducks and using demons with elixirs. In terms of stats, I was lagging far behind and didn't have the top speed, as Gunnar had +3 speed, but at the end of the second month, I found a cloak of +2 speed, which allowed me to army-manage almost 3K, leaving the opponent with only 7 archangels. Therefore, after putting on the red orb, I boldly settled into my Castle; the opponent attacked and surrendered.
Thanks for the game.
