I was planning to go swamp, barbarians, tower, and inferno on the map, but my opponent predictably picked Tazar, and the backup plan with inferno and Ayden was canceled. The slow and long roads played right into my hands — I managed to get 5 levels of magic in 2 towns before Kyrre arrived. Full control, only bad with combat magic — meteor shower; implosion came way too late, and I never got chain lightning. In the first battle, we take away Kyrre's angels and wyverns; she only has treaders left, though plenty of them. I didn't notice any control or earth magic, so I suggested she surrender. I got a refusal, and then the MASTURBATION began — I had heard about this comrade fighting to the last scout hero — and I felt it firsthand: a sleepless night and another 3 hours for breakfast. (Post-mortem showed he had neither wisdom nor high magic — no options). It ended with 3 consecutive surrenders from him with almost no army, and a battle against Kyrre holed up in the castle until the last gnoll.
I don't say thanks for the game — I have a different understanding of what a normal game is.
