Got the desired Castle, plus the opponent chose to restart, thereby giving me the opportunity to dig up Necro. On the 2nd generation, I didn't even have to dig - Charna was in the tavern immediately. 2 stacks of griffins, 1 of swords, griffins with horses at home in the Citadel, though I blundered by losing 2 horses to a scout hero, but nothing fatal.
On 127, Wystan showed up at my respawn; we greet him warmly - he buys himself out with 20 lizardmen.
Spent the entire 3rd week traveling to visit; found no castle there, just a Citadel - I attack.
52 gr. lizardmen, 3 gorgons, 8 basilisks, 4 wyverns, 4 gr. serpents with stats 3-8-5-8 vs 256 skeletons, 6 champions, 39 crossbowmen, 19 paladins, 9 upg. monks, 25 marksmen, and 61 pikemen. Charna 10-6-5-5.
The battle wasn't difficult because the tower was destroyed by Tsunami in the very first round. First, I kill the serpents in case of a draw. Then I just waited for the gate to break; in the meantime, Wystan was doing good work shooting with the bow and lightning, but he surrendered when the skeletons with Animate Dead got inside.
Thanks for the game.
