I gave up the Dungeon for the Castle (and the handicap, probably).
On day 1, I scout the respawn with a candle: Hive, Griffin Conservatory, Pandora's Box with fairies, I won't reach the swamp secondary yet because of the 2nd shooter guard. Few archers, but they're built up. No stables, and surprisingly, no Necromancers either (. I run to the Pandora's Box... And it's empty ((. Frustrated, on day 4 I go into the Dwarf dwelling with 15 with upgrades - I come out without Swordsmen (((. Nothing left to do but run to the (grass) secondary. Along the way, I hit crypts, loot chests - basically doing miscellaneous stuff. By 117, I haven't reached the secondary yet, but I found stables at last, and the castle has horses. Another Griffin Conservatory is scouted on the respawn.
By 123, I already have 2 whole castles (+ an external dwelling for Swordsmen, now I can safely go into Dragon Utopias - I have meat shields). Meanwhile, Pikeman is scouting Griffin Conservatories (1 and >1) and looting a max-crypt. I pick up a secondary sword +2/+2 and teleport Valeska closer to the Griffin Conservatories (already mid-week 2, and I still don't have Angels). On 125, I rush for an Angel at the second Griffin Conservatory (expert archery and leadership, basic earth and tactics, I have slow). I find I have a bunch of other artifacts besides the sword (necklace of speed, shield +2, magic ring), probably from the crypts... Little gold, I'm saving on meat shields - I'll break the prison on the way to the Conservatory anyway, and there's sure to be a good hero there (with a pack of Wyverns too!) and probably my own. I had to pay with a horse for saving on meat shields and 3 Angels (((( (even Turis from the prison, level 10, didn't help). In the last seconds, I transfer the army to Mary for taking the Naga Bank (unlikely max, the guard is too weak), but at least some money, we'll build something. However, while I was thinking for 2 seconds about what to build, time ran out (Naga Bank-3).
And so until the very end of the game, I kept up this tradition of not being on time - either I couldn't finish moving with one hero, or with another. I take 6 Wyverns on 127 and send them far away so they don't ruin morale (let them take the secondary - the swamp for now).
Where to next? GO - up to 99 Black Knights (but by the law of "P", the guard on the other side is tougher), and my opponent also had Gosh appearing on week 1. Scary, only Archangels will help against skeletons, so I run to another Griffin Conservatory, and there's a subway entrance nearby, let's scout for now.
...In short, I don't know how, but instead of the Conservatory, I ran to the blue castle on 133, capture it just in case, and teleport Valeska there. No sign of Gosh nearby, but Shakti is there on a fairy. I upgrade the Harpies and chase him away. I sit in the Dungeon to replenish mana.
Shakti showed up (and where's Galtran with the skeletons??) with Storm Elementals and 43 Energy Elementals. Since there are non-native troops, I bring up the Wyverns and a bit of growth. Sitting in the castle seems somehow unfair - I attack and win through numbers.
Thanks for the game!
