We'll extend it by another 3 days.
Mizrael should be playing now, PreDS and Alone tomorrow, and the inter-portal issue is also a valid reason.
Gave 1500 for the Castle and sold the color for the same amount. To speed up the process, we picked good heroes for each other. After the resets, on the red side I had a double build. Home 1,2,5,7 in the Castle, took the cyclops external dwelling, found a max Griffin Conservatory, Tiracik level 7. On the second, I recouped gold for buying out, took the Conservatory. On the third, I entered a treasure zone containing 2 Dragon Utopias with wings and +5 to all stats, and 3 angel external dwellings. From there, a teleport to the native secondary town, and immediately, 2 tiles away, a lift to another treasure zone. There were another 2 Dragon Utopias and an angel external dwelling. In the end, all spell books except water, the fifth-level cap, all stats over 20. On 141, full buyout with upgrade of the bears, and through the stable I reach the reds' starting position. On 142, I find Moner, a no-chance fight.
Thanks for the game.
