We played a skirmish on full random. I kept getting Stronghold (3 generated pairs out of 4). We played a Stronghold-Rampart pair. The gold flow was decent, Geon arrived (enough gold for 5 heroes and bears in the Citadel). On 113 I took a Necromancer town. Got lucky with guards (Demons, zombies, dendroids) and on 121 took a Pandora's Box for 5k experience. I Expertized Earth, scouted with a scout hero the home Griffin Conservatory (turned out to be tier 2), and on 123 broke through to the adjacent treasure zone with a Rampart town and went to smash the Griffin Conservatory. On 125 I took it, and the opponent came running with 21 Grand Elves, almost a hundred Centaurs, 7 Dendroids, and 20 Dwarves. With first speed and 11 spell power, Lightning Bolt killed 17 Elves. This battle should have ended it, but 2 gross mistakes in combat allowed the opponent to escape, killing a bear and 2 Angels, and started to play tricks with Elezar. In the end, I couldn't knock the opponent out of the castle (Dwarf resistance carried it), and it dragged on until 214, until gathering meat and 6 Liches from an external dwelling finished it.
