Congratulations on the Academy! Looks like an interesting way of playing the start. But if you'll forgive me, I have trouble believing that you are ever without a plan for going forward!

Indeed you righ, I had several plans, but in FFH plans are chanched alot more often thrn BTs for example as you can get very bad surprizes or very bad ones...,last turn I got a very nice event
This dude gets over 95% odds on atack on anithing of what is outside in the wild. Imagine getting that on a hunter....

Thanks for the overview and that shot of your super-warrior! Was that just a lucky result of the mutation event (I forget what it's called - a surge of chaos you can choose to let the unit step into?) or did it perform more heroics too?

Wow - Fellowship on Turn 44?? That's five turns faster than Coldrain last game - when he was playing Ljosalfar, started with Hunting, and had a fur and a gold resource in his starting BFC! (He did tech Education before WotF and had to contend with slow elven workers, but still....)

As you can see i met Xist and from last picture you can see we are at the bottom of population me having like 50% people then him, and me lagging behind of others becasue mainly of 2 reasons, without seeing the map:
1. I am not in agrarianism(well I got a very weak happy resource from there, and decided to take WOTF road)
2. Seeing other got precious metal or winnes, or maybe furs(just in case of coldrain) I decided to sacrifice early for a great person to help me with science.
About xist he is so behind i dont think he can catch up, if he atacks someone will be hard to do something and others are warned after last game and will not just sit and wait. Lest hope he doenst try a suicidal thing on me...

Long time no update.
I planned to wrote something about the FFH economy which i consider is far more complex and more options then BTS but i got litle time. And the beautiful thing is someone witha weak economy which beline to a certain tech can crash you, so you must be carefull what you build , otherwise they will get a beatiful empire from you as there is no option in FFh to build an army in 3 turns, and speed is lightinig here.
I made a risky investment in WOTF falling a litle behind but payed back and I am top food right now,
My best 2 cities
And I met Auror which of course is pestering me a griphon with combat 1. After I met him and reading from his graph is clear he ha 2 Griphons...I hope the othe rone sent to other people..., But i will deal with those in short term...
So my neighbours are Wizards and best recon units so I must play after what they prezent to me..., so what units I should build... Well i need something fast and with bonuses, so priests are out...., what about Ha? Well I liked horsies in bts i love them in FFH and build them in every single of my games so there is that. But ther is a problem those are expensive techs, but HBR everyone needs to research so practicaly is 1k for Ha and after cities will build agood stack.
And of course Auror got wines at capitol and if I made the right math back then i think he got both at his capitol, which in case is true is very unfair as winnes are prety strong tiles , and seeing his grafh food he got riverside corn, plus winnes ,his start was nuts compared with mine.I
I am sad to find my best oponent got such a strong start comapared with me but i think until now I completly made up for disadvantage . Getting WoTF from under his nose is even more sweet right now...

Turn 84
20 turns passed since las report and alot of happened
Turn 72 I choose my trait
I was considerin 4 option all good , all with pluses and minuse
First was agrresive very solid trait as here we get combat1 on all units, my neighbour is agg sinister so very good to have it my self and i was very tempted to go for it.
Second is raider , no prezenation needed just vreak on enemy lands, but units are weaker and need more experience to get some strong units
Third was organized(who falowed my games on Bts, krill mod , seven mod know i value organized very high), with alot of advantages, directly reducing my civic cost by 19 gold/ turn and even more i could build comands post a very strong building which gaves 20% military production and more then that 2 experience to units.
But all this although are very strong have a big caveat, and that is mage game is nearly imposible and waiting with a non arcane civ for your adepts to mature is well a pain, so in the end i Went with the dourth option wich is right now weaker then alll the other but in future gave me option toget mages, and that is charistmathic.
So naturaly to get the benefit of charitsmathic a rushed toward the tehnolgy with free comander and because i had marble i build this beauty
With marble costed me 235 hammers which migh be sound like alot, but doin a simple math the earnings are huge:
production before GA 119, comerce 100 , after GA 175 and 193 production so overal 9 turns(not considering the growth happenisng in thsi 9 turns) is 675 gold and 675 production at least more like 750 each and her I am not considring getting esential techs like writing and trade faster.
And some demos
I had a short war with Auror and I seen now his power is growing and he build Alzakan and our last game let alot of bad blood(he was the main competitior in all)

Well Auror lost his super unit, and he is quitting the game over it
Well , I like how simply Auror prezents stuff and how acuse me of something now I am 99% sure he was doing. First i didnt knew Iron chosen is getting healead in defence so itryed my luck with a wariour, were many times when a 0.1 batle can knock the defender unit 2 points of health(if that would had happen i would ha stoped, becasue then his sumon unit would have been on low strength),
nothing happened so i tryed with my second best unit, dont forget ideea was to get the dude to low health so his magic mirror to be weak next turn and until he was healing gaining me 2-3 turns before he atacked. Third atack was my best unit which had 27,4% odds to win and and 25% to retreat for me retreating and doing some damage was a huge winning as would gain me those turns in which i would had pileed 10 -15 more defenders

I think you’re just testing and trying to find the best result to win combats. I hope I’m wrong though. Unless you’re willing to let me take a look at the save from your perspective (after the game) this is cheating and there’s no reason for me to continue playing. So what so you say? I am willing to give my pw as well, just for good and fair play so things can be checked afterwards if needed. Sounds good? I just want to play fair game and this combat especially seems very unlikely + the chance of it failing was so high that I don’t see why you would risk it. I know the odds of your win was very low. Plus the way you just only happened to kill the top defender and no more… yeah, come on man. I don’t think you’ll accept my suggestion anyway so yea. Prove me wrong.
Mackoti
OK. That sonds fair
Was 26 percent
You will understand more when see the save yourself, why no more atacks very hight indeed
And which was Auror response
Well, you risked weaker camel first against illusion which heals full if you lose. Odds were like 4% max. Ofc high retreat like 30%. Still very risky… Makes no sense. Then attached GC to camel like C4 (that would be 26% ). Risk of losing your super unit + GC. Otherwise odds always less than 26%… even with C5 camel… this smells. Your lucky wins don’t make sense, why did you even attack with so bad odds? Well you tested them, they worked and here we are… but had you lost, well replay…
The truth is I never atacked the ilusion and i have a super unit with 8/7 strenght which gets odds on his dude, but he never seen that, and he is acusing me of all kind of nasty stuff...
