Everything is as such, except that it was direct. At first I actually moved slowly - but from the center I opened 2 exits; to my joy, the 2nd zone turned out to be a treasury, though it being sandy - well, that's just what the generator created. And on 1 Dragon Utopia they gave me boots and the game went faster. Opened almost all zones; I probably didn't open only two Castle ones and one treasury. Actually, moz got very lucky with the density of snow zones - I only ran through 2 and saw another 1-2 in adjacent ones.
Rather, Lekha, these feelings are related to the fact that you slowed down a lot this time.
By the finale, my hero was level 24 and moz's was 17-18 - for 5 weeks that's still a bit low, even for a dwarf.
For some reason this time there were a lot of crashes specifically during the opponent's turns.
Thanks for the game.
