Jelen117Sold dungeon for 3k and color for 600 I think. Instant regret when I saw opp having 6 heroes 112.
W1 I managed to built angels with trading having 1 market. Instant regret since I lost my tempo w2 totally.
Still I started taking cons 125 I guess.
134 first utopia (1 black dragon) gave black orb, next 135 gave wings. And 136 I took 1 more with shit and tp scroll behind mages with a scout. I trained my scouts a bit and they all were very fast.
I lacked dd and I thought I was way behind the opp (since 134 he had 30 all stats on Gunnar). I was continuing farming army and trying to find some utopias for stats when opp came to my zone. This turn Dessa scouted red orb and 1 scout managed to perfectly reach him. I take red orb, upgrade 22 angels selling all my arts (with bug even red orb but opp agreed to load and repeat the turn) and attack opp.
In fb the difference in army was too big and even opp's stats didnt equalize it.
Thanks for playing!

PS also the last turn I finally took speed boots so my tempo would have been bigger next turns

In fact, I paid 3400 for Dung and 500 for color. I didn't have any restarts left but I liked my start - very short road to a subterranean gate (Imps on one side, Gogs + Magogs on the other, killed both without serious losses) and quite a lot of gold underground + 1 con nearby and a shield +6 defense behind a horde of Earth Elementals.

I didn't like my tempo in the first week (Clavius' stats were better than mine) but I took an AI town faster than my opp and I later discovered a mino dwell in my zone which I managed to take. I even built the Portal of Summoning and bought out all troops. 19 minos (soon upgraded) on 121 helped me take a lot of tough fights. Gunnar got Earth fast so I took that shield and a con 5x30.

I opened a lot of space but I didn't have many objects. I took two topes (maxi and almost-maxi) and I got a lot of stats but no control. I built all 5 levels in an AI Flux, still nothing, I fought for a few scrolls on the map, also nothing. The result was, I had a fast hero with 30+ battle stats, 30 SP, and Meteor Shower + Resurrect learned thanks to my scholar scouts.

I took almost everything I could (I had one more off-road tope but I didn't want to take it without control, in the end it had nothing good in it) and I could go in one of two directions. The direction I took led to a quicker encounter with my opp, whose KAS surpassed mine 2 turns before. I was hoping that my stats + strong magic would be enough but I had no chance. My 3 Angels vs. his 22 AAs + the Red Orb.

Thanks for the game!
