It was an interesting game. On the first day, Kyrre got Boots of Speed, revealed external dwellings with elves and pegasi, but money was tight, so I had to run through poor crypts. By the end of the week, I took a secondary Tower hero, skills 1,3,4 in Castle (due to the lack of money, I decided not to build 5-6 because there were many 3-4 from external dwellings). On the 2nd week, Kyrre had Expert Earth, Slow was available; I took 2 Griffin Conservatories, 3 skill points, lost 6 elves, 10 pegasi, and about 20 centaurs. On the 3rd week, I ran out of mana, saw a Helm for 15000 +5 knowledge for sale, crawled into the snow for money, bought the Helm, refilled my mana, and set out on a campaign. The opponent turned out to be nearby; what fatally ruined him was splitting his troops into 3 stacks among 3 heroes (who were, I think, slightly worse leveled than Kyrre), their lack of mana, and the complete surprise of Kyrre's appearance ))). As a result, I won (my army: 6 angels, 53 elves, about 40 pegasi, 4 wyverns) first against Clancy with 15 Thunderbirds and 4 bears, then against Crag Hack with 9 angels. Helplessly slowed, they became easy prey. Then I finished off Gunnar in the Castle with 80 Horde Thugs, 30 orcs, 130 goblins, and about 15 ogres; for the last battle, I didn't even take the elves. Of course, if all those troops I beat had been combined and given to one hero, plus Mass Haste... It would have been tough. But that's how it turned out. Thanks for the game.
