I started out with Bron with 7 basilisks, 3 flies, bunch of gnolls and 1k gold (pretty much a jackpot). Then I rushed for the nearest chest which gave me 1.5k gold which I used to build town hall. By the end of the week I built lizard den and wyvern nest. On week 2 I gathered all the troops and rushed for neutral rampart castle and captured it. Then I gathered some more troops and went for neutral castle to the east also I visited crypt because monies. Then I gathered even more troops to fight off sulfur mine from unicorns. Meanwhile I gather enough wood to exchange it to ore to build mage's guild in hometown. City hall came next, then resource silo, traded sulfur for mercury to build flies' hive. Then I slowly built capitol and basilisk pit while standing still at rampart castle guarding it. On the same week (m2w3) screenshot was made I've built hydra pond. Meanwhile it turned out that blue rushed for tan's hometown (Tower) and easily driven him off to the castle to the east. Tan never moved out of there ever since.
Then I
>gathered troops
and visited blue's Dungeon. Battle wasn't very hard because the best creature in his rows was manticore and he only had a citadel. Meanwhile purple's last hero teleported to this half of the map, took free rampart which I almost never left guarded. Well, I defeated him easily and returned back to hometown to upgrade troops and upgraded everyone but wyverns. As far as I remember the lack of mercury and my laziness were the only reason why they weren't upgraded then, also swapped gnomes with mighty gorgons (around 20 or so). I decided to take on that gem pond to the west of rampart but medusas decided to join my rows, which replaced centaurs, and were upgraded very soon.
Meanwhile green was fighting orange on his half of the map.
Then I went for tan's and blue's castles (m3 had only started). After quick capture of these two towns I chickened out and decided to wait a week for blue heroes to vanish. Well, green rushed into these lands and quickly captured rampart, castle and dungeon. (Sorta) Quickly I fought stuff back, defeated fleeing orange and revealed enough obelisks to reveal grail's location. Around the beginning of m5 I took over all the castles on my half, gathered some troops and started attack on last opponent.
I became reckless and lost all lizards, medusas and dragonflies in the first 2 sieges (inferno with troops from both castles and stronghold) which were soon replaced by ogre magi, black dragons and evil eyes. Then I quickly captured inferno to the east, rampart and necropolis. Check-mate/game-set-match/whatever you call that.
