Initially I played because I got luna and there was a dwarven treasury, mana spring and enough money. The map turned out to be not so great, I was with 1 town for the first week. I captured 2 cyclops dwellings on first week, but didn't have money to buy from the second one. Dessa took 5k xp box behind 45 fire elementals, intelligence and earth was offered. I checked a cons, was a size 2 and prepared to take it with 6 cyclops, 2 behes, 5 birds and single slows. Opp gave up next turn.
Thanks for the game.
