In the first week, I dove into a one-way map and found myself trapped with 10-19 Ifrits behind me and 50-99 Demons ahead. However, I managed to earn enough money on the first turn to buy Horns in the Castle, which allowed me to defeat the Demons for 10k experience and clear several Hives in the Treasure. Then, I systematically cleared the map, killed 5 AI opponents, and on turn 211, I saw movement from the red player. I stocked up on mana, 15 Archons, and 50 Ducks, and with superior stats, I encountered Shakti in a portal. There was no chance for the opponent, who had the "dream path." Thanks for the game!
