First, we restarted for over 2 hours, using up all our restarts and 2 more early-stage encounters. The respawn was lucrative, but the guards on the paths to secondary towns were too strong. I initially pushed into the underground, but the passage below was guarded by a horde of silver pegasuses; after them, only one bird and a few non-native shooters remained from my entire army. Further along, the passage was blocked, so I had to wait to capture the secondary town by building a dwelling; I captured it on day 6. The result of the first one: bears and orcs in the Castle, income 2000. On the second, while Crag was in the underground, Tyraxor with a bear brood and some chaff went to take another secondary. Again, 2 guards, again a horde of moral pegasuses that killed all the chaff. And behind them, a horde of upgraded zombies. Well, I just attacked by inertia, without even any shielders — and there were 85 of them... The result was a loss, losing a hero with a couple of artifacts. After that, I thought about surrendering right away for the rest of the turn or toughing it out, but I managed to pull myself together and continue. Returning the last bear from the leader, I took that secondary too. On the third week, I upgraded the bears. Crag, although he leveled extremely slowly and could barely move, quickly became an expert in Earth magic and went to take the Conservatories. I took the minimal and the maximal one, and the maximal Hive. On the fourth week, I finally got Logistics. A scout hero found the Gloves; I passed the army back through the chain to grab the Gloves and another minimal Conservatory, then returned it to Crag, and he headed for the Treasury. After that, he leveled well, becoming an expert in Earth, Air, Wisdom, Armorer, Tactics, and Logistics. The Treasury was rich in Hives; I collected many Wyverns and cleared several artifacts for stats, and in Pandora's Boxes, I got all level 4 magic and all Air magic. After that, he jumped to a secondary town near which there was a Dragon Utopia. I already saw that Tazar had taken a level-5 hat and, judging by the jumped stats, several Utopias. At the start of the second month, he flew across the GO to my respawn. I didn't want to fight him at first, fearing explosions, but he didn't reach my Castle by a few tiles. Crag took a minimal Utopia, which gave a Tome of Earth, and with that, he decided to portal home and attack Tazar. The Tome of Earth wasn't even needed. Crag, with Tactics and Mass Haste, dealt significant losses to Tazar, after which he got Armageddon cast on his head, but because the opponent hadn't removed the Black Orb, it also affected the Efreet. After that, he finished off the Efreet, and Tazar fled with only a horde of Demons; Crag still had over 30 Wyverns and a few other troops. After that, from a secondary town, he flew to a distant Conservatory, i.e., the minimal one, and from above, using Dimension Door, he captured the opponent's capital, and then a secondary town as well. At the start of the fourth week, without a brood, Tazar went with Demons and 2 Angels to my Castle, cast Armageddon again, but no one in his army resisted, and he died. Thanks for the game.
