We used all the restarts...
The start wasn't great. I had to clear out packs of simple and greater air elementals on the first day.
But then it got easier. I got a first-level castle and a secondary Necropolis with 1000 gold.
On the second day, I got a Swamp castle and started building up my horses and dwarves.
On the third day, I saw my opponent break through a teleport near my Necropolis and run away... I saw that we were evenly matched in terms of stats, but I was buying back my entire upgraded army. So, on day 141, I went to attack my opponent.
My opponent locked himself in his castle... I couldn't storm it, but I took two of his secondary castles and started gathering stats and resources. I built a Swamp castle and upgraded my magic. I took my opponent's creature dwellings. Kir with boots runs like crazy, so I went to the Fortress, but it was empty. I built Draconians and upgraded my magic - I got the Chain Lightning spell.
I went to attack (I was going to attack with my Elven army, and if I didn't finish him off, he would surrender, and then I would attack with my Swamp army + Draconians - it would be a guaranteed win) with a superior army and stats, but my opponent came out, and Kir, of course, ran up, and in the open field, there was no chance.
