Thanks
Ich, i were surprised that i took out your castle that easily. Sure a better setup would had helped you. On the other site my last 5 turns was without much micromanagement. With some more competitive play you would get several earth elemental attacks before i storm the castle (my earth income is somewhat around 400 gems/turn).
I would be happy if we can end this one regulary without using a backup. It should be over in the upcoming turn or the turn after that latest.
Arcane Nexus was casted with 452 astral gems. So 302 additional gems + 5 for 1 additional level. While i got ~200 astral gems from the nexus in the first turns i only got ~100-150/Turn in the last 5 turns.
I build 2 forts on farmlands early. But due the long building time (5 turns) it wasn't that early (turn 11 or 12?). I also started a forest fort and found a crystal citadel. I saved some money for doing that and used primary my awe/fear cyclop for early expanding.
