I decided to play through a stack of upgraded Imps. This is something—the weakest unit, they just die and deal no damage. I found and picked up two Ifrit recruitment centers in the first week. By the start of the second week, I have 13 Ifrits. I take a Griffin Conservatory at level 1. I see two more. By day 1, week 2, I have 6 Angels. At the start of week 3, I have Dimension Door and Resurrection scrolls. I'm actively building up the guild. On day 1, week 3, I start demon farming. I wander through the treasure zone without finding anything worthwhile. On day 2, week 2, I capture the swamp. And then the crazy hopping around the map begins. The opponent starts capturing castles. I'm nervous—the demon farming has just started, the opponent has higher stats and upgraded Wyverns. But after capturing two castles, the opponent didn't come to me. Strangely enough. I was really worried that he might "accidentally" jump onto my weak troops and nearly 100 Horned Demons. Next, I try to explore the map to find some sort of magic suppression, because while my power is greater, his stats are higher and he clearly wants to fight me with magic, while I only have Armageddon dealing 700 damage. In the end, on day 2, week 2, the opponent says it's either a draw or he surrenders. We have a battle where I easily win. 250 Horned Demons inspired optimism.
A very long game, played in three sessions.
Thanks for the game.
