"only XL-4"

I cleared out everything I could. As a result, no army, no resources. The wood mine is in the middle of nowhere, lots of blockers and ranged guards. But there are two external dwellings of gnolls and an external dwelling of cows, which carried the game. On day 115 I almost got wiped in that external dwelling (attacked the cows with 35 gnolls, 10 lizardmen, a serpent fly, two wasps, and a ballista), barely scraped by on the gnolls. By the end of the week I got some momentum going and placed 1-6 in the citadel, and had just enough for some buying. On day 121 I took level 1 Griffin Conservatory, a couple of turns later I captured the enemy ally's town, and his main hero with all his might killed himself against me in the citadel. On day 126 the opponent came to the center, where he falls just short of my central wood dwelling. I moved my main there. The stat and army advantage combined with two lucky strikes decided the fight.
Thanks for the game!
