Thanks for the game.

P. S. Too bad we couldn't finish properly, because the ending was quite tricky and interesting.

It happened. At the start of the third month I had 20+ Wyverns and 2 Angels, could have broken through the adjacent zone — thought for a long time, decided to go for the long haul and guessed wrong. In three Treasure zones — one Dragon Utopia with minimal loot and a Mantle of Equilibrium, and no control anywhere at all. I bet on an Orb of Inhibition, having nearly 300 Marksmen, Grand Elves and an Artifact +15 to shooting, Expert Tactics (which red didn't have). When the glitches started, the opponent offered a draw, having a more advantageous position — then we came to this solution: I play single-player, find the Magic Limitation within a week, my victory — if not, then the opponent's. Couldn't find it — a well-deserved victory for red.
Thanks for the game and the knightly resolution of many issues that came up!
