[Moanerette]

This is not only my first MP game, but my first game of any sort (excepting the demo). Coupled with the fact that in games I like to discover things as they occur, rather than obsessively reading wikis and whatnot, my modest ambition was to last a reasonable amount of time.

That said, in order to be at least vaguely competitive I did peruse a Chelms strategy guide, and started out by following its advice to build as many forts as possible. However, I was severely delayed by the hero infestation; dealing with that cost me valuable time and momentum and meant that my territory post-initial phase was far below optimal.

By the way, I've sent my turn 30 in but have not received any acknowledgement from the server.
