I paid 2500 for flux and 1000 for red. With Gundula, mini cons and good army I decided the map is good enough for me. I was in my resp first week and sat on stables 117. Picked up 10k xp box behind lots genies, and with armor from hut Gundula had wisdom, offence, armor, earth, log, scouting. With split armies and many roads I managed to take many towns, however there were a couple 4-way portals so meeting with opponent was almost inevitable. He showed up week 2 with very strong army (lots wyvs, pack thunders, 3 angels, lots ogre magi etc.), I only had 2 angels, 4 firebirds and some meat.I was building up my tower MG but expected to lose it at some point,which happened right after I built library and got implo there. Implosion allowed me to take 2 topes in treasure, got +5all +12def +10 power. Opponent didnt have good roads and without topes he decided to give up. Thanks for playing!
