That's how it was. I managed to get one path to the Gold Mine. My pride and the desire to take the green stash (worth up to 49 gold golems) on the first day prevented me from doing so, even though it was a humanitarian rest. Also, I scouted paths through the rough terrain to the grass and stone areas. In the far corner of the starting area, there were boots of speed for 49 marks. Soon, I got a tactic, decided to take the stash and, with 2 dragons at the beginning of the second day, rush through the grass. I took the stash quite easily; there were about 40 golems. At the beginning of the second day, wearing the boots and after building a stable, I break through to the adjacent grass area, and there's a huge map bug – there's no passage, only a metro leading to an underground treasure. There's nothing to do, so I go there. There are 20 ducks from 4 hives and not a single decent artifact :mad:. I'm out of money, and my starting area is almost completely cleared... At the end of the second day, I break through to the capital. At the beginning of the third day, I go to break through the Gold Mine (a horde of green vivs) – I break through with losses. There's an empty capital, and the advanced air units obtained after breaking through the Gold Mine showed that the red player is far away in the treasure. I go to the treasure, take the fairy stash, but I can't afford to buy them. The angry Wistan came to my capital; it seems he got better artifacts and richer hives in the treasure, so he had no chance in the final. I'm not even upset to lose with such a setup; I had no chance from the beginning. If I had more money, I would have put up more of a fight, but as it is... Thank you for the game.
