Finally finished playing.
The deciding game gave me an awfully bad generation - first, the only exit was blocked by almost 100 Evil Eyes - took 111, then there was 1 road to GO - spent 113, in the end we started, I had one secondary (Castle as it turned out), but the guard had grand magics. Little money, barely broke through them around 115 I think, losing almost all the flies, gnolls, and 1 Wyvern. Captured the secondary. I was afraid the opponent would come to me on the second day, and I had nothing to meet him with. Set up 1-6, without 4 in the Citadel.
On the second day there was a choice - either the underground, or a treasure zone on the mud - I go for the second. Army - 30 grand lizards, 4 ducks, 5 cows, and I have a ballista with the artillery skill, which helped a lot. Ate 2 hives in the treasure zone - mini and maxi, cleared out the small stuff, on day 126 I break into the capital, take an external dwelling of cows for 70+ ogres (which, incidentally, guarded artifact 3/3 morale/luck). Ran into a corner of the respawn, which I didn't even check on the first day - thought it was a dead end, but no, there's another external dwelling of cows, a mini hive, and 2 mini crypts.
Total on the third day I have 30 ducks and 16 grand cows, have Earth magic, go to take the Dragon Utopia on the Castle respawn. It turned out to be a two-stack - took it easily, losing 50 pikemen, 2 ducks, and 2 cows. In the underground I spot 2 more Dragon Utopias...
On the fourth day I take them - equipped myself properly: wings, boots, Titan's cuirass, hat +4, shield +4 to all... Solmyr on his turn hits GO and takes my capital, a small army (I expected to see about twice as much considering the opponent's native secondary), camps there. I break through and on the next turn go to take back my capital, where for some reason all the machinery was left, while Solmyr ran to GO on a fly. Even if he had stayed to guard the castle it wouldn't have helped, the difference in stats was enormous and I additionally had resurrection with a power of 23.

Thanks for the game!
