I think movement was by far the most issues. In comparison when sites are 5 hexes rather than 15 hexes.
My vassel gave me three quest to stop ”end terror by mine” which net me Prospectors as I rejected them. It blocked income on two Gold mines
But then a choice playing Rogue which is ideally a class I'm not too comfortable unlike Dreadnought or Warlord. Rogue is little bit schetchy in the beginning but get better with economic which I did not have.
Although I hope the other games goes better.
Cheers

Thanks for the recap and the game, Refineus. A pity with the map, probably a lot better for me, even though, besides my home turf, those sites were also scarce for me.
I kind of feared the surrender - would have been nice to show of for a final battle and plunder the rest of your empire. I ended up with archons and giants as vassals and T4 rewards from them coming your way.
The map showed that I started clearing home turf (with a lot of zig-zagging), then turned to the archons and then center of the map where the giants dwelled. At that point I met one of your crows and later on I found Bolstone (one of Wienerbröds cities in the UG) with one baby shock serpent. I wanted an army to take the chance for the harrassment raze. That happened 7-8 turns later after finishing one quest for the giants and splitting up armies as the archons gave me the vassalage quest. Got lucky with finding your army that final turn - was about to flee from the underground as I had two stronger armies coming your way.
Congrats Ezikiel.
I will probably never start underground again, had a really weird circle of dirt surrounding my starting area. Although I could dig myself out, it did not leave any room for expansion and it was very thinly spread out with treasury sites around. Most of all that "Trade markets" could only be attacked with one stack at a time which did not make things any better.
All in all, despite that, had not many losses but did not get rich enough to start jumping my pants.
Not my best game, but seeing quite early aggression on the surface, I started to mass-produce cavalry at the throne to meet with the ranged expectations.
Surprisingly, one misclick to stand on top of the cave to only face 1 stack at the time. My second stack of forces little bit on the other side of map rushing back, but did not make in time.
I surrender to not expect any big comebacks.

Round 3 : 2-1 League #5
Hi! Ezekiel, as explained in the Tournament Player Pool, the system has changed compared to previous tournament: please input your class/race directly in the game blog. No need to send it by PM (+ sending it by PM without inputting it in the game blog is insufficient). Currently your class/race are missing in the game blog.
Ok for 48 hours turn timer. Ideally play 2 games at a time then, to make sure all 3 games are finished within the season's timeframe.

Hi there!
Ezekiel, do you confirm you're available to play this tournament? You can start any of the three matches (but I think Sin Arcain can play only one at the same time so probably not the one vs Sin first). Please start the matches as soon as possible or let me know if that's not possible (2 players in the waiting list).
