	These hits took my dom just some acres short of 11,000 a new personal record by far. This win was a team effort from Myths and Mistakes (#9). Great contributions from Shanulf, Cerbrus, Mcgeeal, Bobbo, Allegorical and King Adio. I also wish to thank Calvin, Seth Harris and TheWittyGinger for their valuable help at times. Many factors played out in our favor over the course of the round, but we were cunning, took several correct decisions, deliberately let others do a big chunk of the dirty work, and finally stepped up when required. Had I not been on vacation in Portugal last week I suppose I could not have dedicated several nights to waking up ~~late~~ for snare hits.

	I salute Weaser and Lud for the fierce competition at the top. Well played. Realm #5, being stacked with top players in a manner seldom seen also played a great round and showed us what an aggressive and coordinated realm strategy can do, though in the end they overextended, having their attackers be so active with blops and threat-op.

	Over the course of the years, I have learnt that every man is the architect of his own fortune in dominion, and previous winners like Jboy and Harm were an inspiration as they showed that you can win a round without being the strongest realm on paper, but instead by just doing your thing and simply not giving up and showing patience in key moments.

	It was a calculated risk, as Weaser could hit me, but I figured he couldn’t risk a full send on me as that would leave him open for attacks from the other top competitors. And nobody else could hit me. Still, you never know if people make rational choices, and sometimes an event occurs and someone sends out to trigger a chain and suddenly you’re open for attack… I switched hero to healer just in case I would take a hit, but survived and brought in enough land that I know would enable me to push op on Weaser. However, Lud’s sylvan shortly followed with a big hit of his own, constructed his lands and quickly started pushing massive amounts of spec op.

However, Lud’s sylvan shortly followed with a big hit of his own, constructed his lands and quickly started pushing massive amounts of spec op.

	A prolonged crunch happened, I imagine it must have been terrible to endure if you weren’t actively taking part of it. I was only looking at the lyc at this stage. I felt comfortable that I could compete with Lud’s sylvan last days, the problem was whether there would be enough time to bring enough land to grow past Weaser. I was on double peasants compared to Weaser by now, but he still had a huge military and land size. He kept his population up by training mostly Garou and only a few ratmen. I considered pushing all swordmen, but realized that trading acres with him would mean heavy defensive losses, perhaps it was the correct move against Weaser in an isolated standoff, but such move could now give Lud’s sylvan the upper hand instead. Lud was slightly below me in size, and had better op but worse dp.		A prolonged crunch happened, I imagine it must have been terrible to endure if you weren’t actively taking part of it.

''2025-07-13 10:47:35 Victorious on the battlefield, Presenting Fenrir to Masters Agility Championship (#9) conquered 278 land from Goldmember (#5).''

	At this stage, Weaser had made a big hit on the nomad in #2 (SlyPimp) and followed up with two quick bottomfeeds. I was however able to follow with a massive hit myself on Goldmember to take me within range again. By now, middle round was transitioning into late round with roughly 1,5 weeks remaining. Weaser was still in a strong position, but having lost peasant advantage and forced to spend double resources on ~~constructing~~ costs from the two bottom feeds, the top competitors were once again gaining momentum. Prestige was also quickly adding up providing substantial op and housing bonuses ~~that increased with each hit,~~ and as Dark Elf I could quickly recharge my op after a hit by converting new elites to gain a net plus from each attack, and quickly replenishing and adding new swordmen.

	It was also clear that among the top competitors Business Cat Rides Again #11, played by Lud, was in the strongest position among them, though I always held my own position as the one with the most end-game potential. Felicity Shagwell (Gothia) was not finding big enough hits on a regular basis and fell behind a bit, and Nigel Powers had to pay the toll of having pushed op on Weaser and was left with too low all-in defense to enter range. Only one goblin remained, Purple Wolf Tail And Raging Fiery Hobpot (#12) played by playt0i, but he was now struggling with dp and peasents, a classic goblin-problem when you’re forced to play under a run-away.

	We selected races based on what everyone was most comfortable playing. Bobbo and Allegorical quickly decided to run fast halflings, I positioned myself as our third attacker, but was looking for something that could be played medium-fast, and decided on Dark Elf to have that extra wizard protection from adepts. Mcgeeal finally decided to go explorer when the realm was revealed and it looked like we could need more info ops. Cerb dropped the bomb that he was going to France over the summer, and thus picked Sylvan to contribute with info, for as much as he could.

	I don’t remember much of the sim period, kudos to Lud I believe some of us got competitive sims that way. Personally, I utilized a sim that Mris originally created as my packmate several rounds back, and as it turned out I wasn’t the only person using this sim! There were at least four Dark Elves using Mris’ sim, all coming out of protection on 694 ~~acresm~~ two of them from #5 why I instantly suspected Mris and his pack were located in #5. I adapted the sim to have better defense, a bit less offense, a few extra towers, and rezoned all factories for barracks. I noted already from the start that docks were a bit low, but decided to leave it be as the first and second hit were covered, and my solution here would be to bring in extra docks as soon as possible from the new conquered land post-oop.
