Confirmed.
He lost to Tazar on turn 114, confidently attempting to break through a group of harpies with minimal troops (there were 45 harpies + morale). He lost a lot of momentum. Although he had enough money for a respawn, he decided to continue, but was caught by a Miner on an adjacent Fortress secondary town - another buyout. And the 2 cons of the opponent near the castle ultimately decided the game.
Thank you for the game.
