I started the comeback because Gunnar arrived on day 1. A few days later, I already regretted my decision — completely broke, roads blocked by shooter guards, stone nowhere to be found (eventually on day 116 deep in my spawn area I found a stone mine), only started breaking out somewhere around week 2. Around day 123 I took a hive of 8 vives, captured the castle of a swamp player (and that player had an unreal amount of meat hoarded in the stronghold, I lost all 8 vives there...) In the end, by day 131 I had Gunnar with good stats and 7 efreets :) On week 3 I started demoning, cut about 70 demons, took 3 Griffin Conservatories for 7 angels, around day 135 I think I took a max Dragon Utopia with Gladius and the +4+4 jacket. A turn or two later I finally rebuilt full control, had several support heroes with earth/air, and began devouring the map. In the end I devoured 3 super-treasures, 100+ monarchs, 8 angels, 200 gr demons, an elixir, +2 speed, stats 30/30. With that army I take on the Miner, putting on bracers first — he has 60 vives and 7 blacks, even an imp on 3000+ couldn't save him, gg.
