Thanks for the game. It was very pleasant to play with Roma.

If I had played this setup with someone else, I wouldn't have pushed so hard. I wanted to finish it faster.
The setup is decent — 2 Griffin Conservatories on day 1 and 2 angels. From secondary skills, scouting reveals a tasty treasure zone with a sunken ship, beehives, and wings behind the rusted ones. Standard on day 1 — horses in the castle and 2 secondary heroes. On day 121, Kyrre clears a path to Blue's secondary hero and breaks into the capital. Almost all banks are cleared. Already on day 123, Kyrre in the treasure zone waits for a scout hero to check the numbers of the rusted ones. Another scout hero explored a different treasure zone, tempo is excellent. 2 dragons, I fight losing the overstack, 2 dendroids and 1 horse. 3 options:
1 — keep eating (downside: risk of losing such an advantage)
2 — fly to visit on day 124-5 (downside: Ivor will roam freely for about 3 days — who knows what he has there)
3 — fly at the end of the week (bad because it's standard)
I choose the worst one — the 3rd.
Looks like I messed up by attacking 10-19 giants standing near a wasp nest — it turned out they were greased, and Titan morale killed 1 angel, and then his younger brethren ganged up on the other one. Day 126, I take the 3rd beehive — Wyvern is already 22, I break through, build the planned whirlpool in the Dungeon, and realize with horror that there's no tavern there :smile35: I have to buy back in the capital, from there Mephala runs to the GO for a speed boost. I spent the whole of Blue's turn thinking about what to do — stubbornness took over, and Mephala, having received the troops and wings, goes all-in. Kyrre is ready to break. But upon flying to visit, I see Ivor in the castle; there was no point in continuing — I didn't have the gold to buy him out.
Too bad, it could have been perhaps the best game in a while.

Thanks for the game, likewise.
