Loi(blue,castle,Valeska,Kyrre)def Pit in Sake of LM(red,inferno, Pire,Pire)2SM4d(3), 215

It turns out that the red Inferno wasn't any better than the blue one... All four times, when something more or less decent appeared, the opponent restarted. In my case, either the only road led directly to the Guardian, or the Guardian was on a dirt road, and I had no money.
When the restarts ran out, I had to play. There was still little money, but I found about 6 piles, but there wasn't enough to buy heroes, and by the end of the week, I only had 3. There was one secondary town, behind a portal, guarded by water elementals, and I couldn't break through. I found and took a +2 helmet behind the skeletons and a +4 shield behind the hellhounds. On day 117, I managed to rob the smallest gnome mine and build ifrits and abyss demons in the citadel, but there was nothing to buy with. Pyra learned earth magic, but she only found a slowing spell towards the end of week 4...
On day 121, I visited the arena and cleared the path to the secondary town, but it was a swamp... And I still had no money. I bought Enova, built 1000 in each city. I took a small group of abyss demons. There was practically nowhere to go; there were 3 naga banks, but I couldn't take them. My last chance was to go on a dirt road to my own secondary town. Along the way, I took another Gehenna. By day 127, I built a Castle and a Town Hall.
By day 132, I reached the city; there didn't seem to be any blue players there yet, although the roads were fast. Before the castle, there was a +3 morale/luck amulet and a conservatory. I easily took the amulet with a pack of rocs, and I sped up with 6 ifrits. On days 133-134, I gathered some money and managed to buy all the demons and abyss demons, built a Grand Mage, but there was no slowing spell, so I settled for an expert stone skin (no shield either). Nevertheless, the conservatory with 3 angels was easily taken; I sped them up at the exit to the surface. On day 135, I ended up in the empty human capital, but I made a mistake with the location of Kyrre and lost the city on day 137; I couldn't return, and I couldn't bring my army back either. I went to the grassy treasury, where I gathered some wyverns and took 2 portals of glory, but there was nothing significant there. At the beginning of the second month, I managed to combine all the troops, and it turned out to be quite impressive. I went to the underground treasury. There I found 2 utopias, but there was nothing decisive in them; all the cities were lost, and I was behind in parameters, magic, and troops. I decided not to continue the suffering.
Thank you for the game.
