But I finally broke through the 6k guard and took a castle-village, which had two roads and close connections to other zones with villages.
With the abundance of resources, I started building a Guild in the castle-village, while also clearing out a large number of objects around it.
On day 125, I reached the ramp village, where I also started building a Guild after the market. There were 4 mermaids around, and on day 127, I took the first one – it had a knowledge school, a church, and 5 dwellings.
On day 131, after taking the second mermaid with 4+4 armor and sandals, I sent a hero on foot from the prison to take the enemy's main town, not so much for the profit, but to acquire artifacts through trading.
The second time, I got a teleportation in the castle, which allowed me to quickly take a couple more mermaids, and then in the ramp, I got a dungeon on the first try, which allowed me to attack and conquer Dess.



Thank you for the game!
