This Paladin's luck knows no bounds. We played on a map where objectively there was no chance from the start.
3 times a normal layout appeared, but he took rests on 111, 113, and then he showed up lucky and on 116 via meeting. I finished my rests too. The generation was crooked in the worst way — 1 road into 20-49 dragonflies, for a Barbarian that's a death sentence at the start. I visit the experience pillar — it gives me Log, hope appeared. I attack the dwarves on my native respawn to gain a bit of levels and take the external dwelling of ogres for the dragonflies. There is also an external dwelling of birds behind 20-49 orc chieftains. I got Tactics! I hit 3 stacks of 9 dragonflies without losing my own troops — I sacrificed gremlins with Tactics. Then the road leads to the grass, and from there back to the native respawn where one road goes to a GO of titans and the other leads to the mud behind a horde of shooters and 10-19 crystal medusas. In short, I did everything correctly and with tempo, and I took the Naga Bank on day 2 without Mass Magic, though I got Earth magic as my 4th slot, and on 132 I take 2 level 3 cons, first with the upgraded stack and then without it, losing half of the hoplites. Here poverty showed itself, and I had no gold or resources to break Crag Hack; expert Log and Boots saved me, allowing me to reach the grass via the well in 2 days. In the guild on the grass I finally found Slow. Here's the choice — go to the Treasury or break through the mud after all? I decide to scout the mud as well — maybe there are several cons left for the enemy or a passage to the general Treasury, plus the weak mobs will gather some gold. No cons, the Treasury is on the sand and what is visible from the lookout is not attractive at all. I broke through and went to the Treasury via teleport — all that's in the Treasury is a Shield +6 and 20 Liches behind red dragons, 1 tree behind a whole horde of upgraded cats, which was not easy to beat in the basement, and they were guarding just a Pandora's Box for 5k experience. Lol. I run to the other Treasury, there lies the Golden Bow — not particularly needed — and I meet Tazar. Only 2 out of the two Dragon Utopias present on the map remain untouched, one of which contained a completely irrelevant kettle, against Paladin's super-Treasury with a Book of Earth magic behind Pixies, a Library, a Sword +5 All and a Shield +4 All. Magic is only available to him in his Treasury. Well, what can you do about that?

Thanks for the game

P.s.: I'll expose your collusion with the generator and get to you :knight:.
