I confirm.
There were 2 paths - the GO and the underground passage behind the ice caves, there's an archers' external dwelling right next to the castle, I decide not to rush anywhere, first to clear the respawn. Aislinn quickly expertised Earth. By the end of the week I had raised 100 skeletons, the horses were set up in the Citadel.
On day 121 I take a level 2 Griffin Conservatory, 2 Dwarf Cottages on day 15, clean up the weak mobs, build the Mage Guild, split my army, learn Haste, go into the basement. Cleared the dungeon, stayed there overnight, skeletons already 300, Aislinn with Intelligence and Tactics.
On day 131 I double my mana. Go into the treasure zone, through which a road stretched to another of my secondary heroes... The treasure zone turned out to be weak, useful stuff: a couple of crates for Ore, all of level 4, 24 Birds, 3 Imp Cottages. Cleared the Rampart, ran around there a bit, skeletons already about 700.
On the fourth I meet Kyrre, who buys peace without a fight. On day 146 my capital is taken. I go to retake it. Although I was losing almost 2 to 1 in attack/defense stats, I hoped to decide things with magic, but I miscalculated - the opponent, as it turned out, had a +10 hat and Expert Intelligence + Implosion, Resurrection, Anti-Magic... After a long battle I write "gg".
Thanks for the game.
