The birds barely held on the first week. The second went well - I took several Dragon Fly Hives, captured an excellent path of 7 castles/towns, including the native Conflux computer's, and placed birds there. On the third week, I took my first Dragon Utopia "deuce" - it gave a sword +12, then went into a super-treasure area - it spawned plenty of Dragon Fly Hives, but very few Dragon Utopias. By the end of the third week, I rebuilt the Mage Guild, leveled up a couple of supports with Earth and Air, but had virtually no artifacts for Knowledge. On the fourth week, I seized the third Conflux from the opponent. My stats were significantly lower than the opponent's, and despite an army advantage, I was afraid to fight. Gunnar arrived - I leveled him up and got another excellent support. At the start of the second month, I tried to carefully take castles, thankfully having 2 pairs of Boots and Gauntlets, while simultaneously searching for Dragon Utopias, but ended up carelessly exposing myself on the timer with no mana - it cost me, I only lost 70k gold. In one of the overviews, I revealed half a super-treasure area near the opponent - and there was +3 +6 all on Earth. At the cost of 10 Firebirds, I took the castle next to that territory from the opponent and stole the artifacts, thus evening out the stats. Then I attacked the opponent in the castle. Thanks to the larger army - I won.
Thank you for the game!
