Dave_HUNGreat start, galthran with 3 stacks in tavern, stables next to road and fortress hero brought some serpent flies for more movement. I had decent roads but many of them were blocked by strong shooters. Collected 200+ skeletons week 1, and a ton of money, picked up DD scroll behind pack grand elves. Eliminated rampart AI, built lvl5 in necro, and with help of DD I beat necro and castle AIs faster, after rebuild got TP in necro. 10k xp box helped develop galthran more and on 132 I saw Crag with few thunderbirds in dirt treasure. Decided to attack him even though I didn't have tactics, but he didn't have it either. I didn't have view air from 5 towns and many scrolls, so I didnt try to wander around blindly trying to find enemy army on Tyraxor. With the small amount of movement left I took a hive and TP-d away. After a couple days Jeddite stole my necro town, I took it back and developed more heroes with full control. I took 2 topes but out of 6 relics, only thunder helmet and sentinel were any good. I was controlling most of the map, had a legion skeletons and AA's but I knew I was weaker because of low stats and no strong spells. I found 3rd tope way offroad in snow that gave red orb, so I felt safe and went into underground treasure with galthran. On the same day Jeddite caught me but after seeing red orb he gave up.
Thanks for playing!
