ends in flawless victory

thanks to our overwhelming forces. This gives earns us a little bit of gold, and once the control zone of Lizardheim expands, we will get a nice bonus to our production.

Two of our starting units are Draconian Hatchlings. These units are fairly weak to start with, but have a Fire Spit attack that will enable them to draw the enemy's focus so that our harder hitting units can deal damage. Additionally, when they level up sufficiently they will evolve into fully fledged and far more useful draconian units.

It looks like there are 'Scrolls of Knowledge' on the ground to our east. These serve a similar purpose to the Production Resources to our west in that they give us a one time boost to our research. Once we know what our research and production are going to be, we can grab both of these, which will take up the rest of our movement for the first turn.
