finally sold my beloved ramp for 3.500, decided to play casually.
Small respawn, library and Griffin Conservatory, but Deesa showed up, so I figured I had to play. Once again convinced that Conflux troops are frail.
Barely built a phoenix on the first week, scraped together money almost to zero because there was no second town or a village with a market, risked not getting a high-tier build. Stupidly lost a magic elemental, and then, frustrated, didn't go for the demon stack guarding the pandora (which had 5k gold) on day 116, with a village right behind them (and I shouldn't have — it was actually easy to take). Ended up losing about one and a half turns of tempo. From day 121 to 123 things got more fun — 3 hives and a minimal Griffin Conservatory (my own at the respawn via scouting level 3-4) and 2 villages. Deesa got the oil spell and split to go home for the library and Griffin Conservatory. Then the opponent showed up right in the important area between the two villages. I had a choice: calmly take the Griffin Conservatory with oil but give the opponent tempo, or split up and push them back.
The choice itself was obvious, but the path was wrong. I decided to take the Griffin Conservatory with a scout hero (Mullich) and attack the opponent with my full army and a second magic tower. I could have left the Griffin Conservatory for later and attacked: 4 phoenixes, 15 wyverns, 3 magic elementals, 1 angel. Instead, I got 4 angels from the Griffin Conservatory but lost almost everything — only 6 wyverns and 1 phoenix left (played the quick battle worse by 1 wyvern, wanted to save the angel at all costs, but the griffins finished it off with morale).
Couldn't attack myself, was short by a couple of moves, ended up stopping at an underground portal.
Battle stats: 10/6/8/8 (after the library) vs 3/8/3/3 of Kiri.
Lightning, ice bolt, oil, shield, etc. with 160 mana.
4 angels, 1 phoenix, 6 wyverns, and single fairies vs 4 angels, 8 wyverns, 4 horses, 17 elves, about 15 dwarves, 2 pegasi each at 1, and a tent.
Traded blows, I ended up with 3 angels, the opponent bought back with 8 wyverns and 2 horses. Played a couple more turns, killed a few scouts and took the town between us, found a Dimension Door scroll.
On day 131 the opponent surrendered, didn't say why :).
Thanks for the game.
