Round 1 game, I picked 8mm6a.
Sold Rampart for 2k.
The Tazar wasn't bad, I got Tactics, Earth, and Log. A large respawn allowed me to build 1 2 3 5 6 in the Castle on the first week and rush a second Dwarf Cottage at the start of the second. From the corner village - Treasure Chests yielded an artifact for Luck/Morale and a mini Hive. On the way, I found another mini Hive, rushed to a 132 Dragon Utopia blocking the passage to the central zone. The Dragon Utopia was also minimal, spent the Djinns and Grems from Pandora's Box - gave a bag of gold, a Dispel Sphere, and a Shield+3, pretty underwhelming overall) but popped out right into the thick of things, thought it was the Conflux opponent, but it turned out - right next to the starting area. Both have Expert Earth, roughly equal stats, but Tazar's SP is higher.
FB was won thanks to 90 Lizardmen and, of course, a decent combo of Mass Shield + the Tazar's Sharpen at lvl 18.
Thanks for the game!
