The “Farewell, Valya and Shakhter!” tournament (starting hero is chosen randomly).

The autopsy revealed a network of roads leading to all the other castles belonging to the blue player, and a few bottlenecks. :) Thanks for the game.

Rom, you saw how those bottlenecks were positioned – even with the entire chain – it would take about 3 days to capture them. So, I decided to give up on taking them. I didn't have enough units to take the second one, and waiting for the third one seemed risky. I decided to go for an earlier push into the village area, and I actually got lucky – it took me only 1 day to get there on the rough terrain, while it probably took you 4 days on that road.
