Confirmed.
Spawned at the top, not much gold, but there were external dwellings of Lashers and Efreeti. On the first week, I tried to take both (though when I was taking the Lashers with 3 Efreeti and single Gogs, they, the bastards, got morale and killed my Efreeti). Pyre got Tactics and Attack, but no artifacts or stat boosters, so the main hero was weak coming into the second week. I built 1-6, without the third Citadel level. Sat with just one town for the rest of the game, because both secondary heroes were snowed in, one was blocked by Gogs guarding a border gate, and into the other I sent a scout hero, but the town was guarded, so I had to have him pick up resources.
On day 121, I was catastrophically short on gold. But there was a Dwarf Cottage for 30 and 2 Naga Banks. On day 122, I hit the Dwarves (they killed another one of my Efreeti, alas), then the Naga Banks, first the level 4 then the level 6. I built the town with Devils and took 2 minor Griffin Conservatories nearby. Pyre stubbornly refused to give me either Earth or Air (Earth was first offered only on the 4th week). Meanwhile, I spot Gurnisson who takes a Conservatory at his own respawn and already has 5-9 Behemoths in his army, meaning he took their external dwelling on the first week.:smile28:
On the third week, I go into the underground. As it turned out — the native treasure zone with 2 external dwellings of Lashers, a couple of Dragon Utopias and Azure Dragons. Pyre is still weak, no Defense and Earth isn't leveled, but I nonetheless decide to go into a Dragon Utopia, because a stack of nearly 30 Lashers inspires confidence, but in vain. The troops halved my army and gave me junk: a Water book, a vial of mercury, a bag of gold, and a +3 breastplate.:smile05:, but what can you do, I play on. Collected some Azure Dragons, artifacts for +3/+3 morale/luck, and from 2 chests I got 25 Dogs and 45 Gogs. I bring up everything else to take the Dragon Utopia, and just then Gurnisson sets up near the GO (with up to 19 polar bears in his army) and clearly intends to fight it the next turn. I went into the Dragon Utopia — turned out to be the maximum version:smile11:, it mauled me even worse, and gave me a Fire book, an Air book, resistance boots, and sandals +2 to all. I realize it's over, but I still teleport home and meet Ivan at the castle. Gurnisson has twice my stats + a Golden Bow and Cyclopes with Orcs (both also had external dwellings) simply shoot down my pitiful remaining troops. I cast Armageddon as a last resort and that was that.:smile04:
Thanks for the game!

Пусть мой враг будет силен и страшен. Если я поборю его, то не буду чувствовать стыда.
