I split my troops in 2 groups to try to get him, as he could move faster or at least at the same speed than me. My beloved Cherubs had spotted his leader and his army: it was no match for my troops. One of the tribute had lost his throne and I thus knew his location: I moved with full strength toward him and reached him quickly. One day later, another tribute more or less died (I think he quitted and his AI was quickly killed).
On the 20tt day, the first tribute died, apparently killed by the hostile environment of the Arena. We made Peace and I asked him to retreat behind the river close to my kingdom and he accepted. My army was clearly stronger than his and I considered he would not become a big threat so I decided not to attack immediately and instead focus my strength. The first tribute I met while leaving the darkness of the underground was Blackcat Nachtklinge, the Orc Rogue. I had taken Expander (and I was a Goblin) so I had a nice population growth and reached Metropolis first. I never produced a single unit as far as I remember: I summoned Cherubs (and later Dragons) and mind-controled units.
In the end I was the only one UG and that certainly helped me somehow. I could have chosen another race but I like Goblin and I like starting UG. I chose Goblin Theocrat for this very special game with no City Founding, heroes capped at level 7 and Very Strong Defender because Theocrat clearly seemed a good choice to me thanks to Convert (the game used the 1st balance mod from Zaskow, and mind control is not nerfed in it so Convert is at level 7 and not 9) and access to healing. Sorry, there is gonna be a lot of images! I hope I didn't blow up the BF's memory quota.
