I haven't looked at the saves yet, but an unverified consa that turned out to be a maxed one is already a violation of all principles.... then the question is: WHAT were the other suckers doing at that moment? But that there was enough cash to buy another one is clear from the screen

ps: and generally, with the power and stats Valya had, even a maxed one could be taken, even with a stack: just upgrade the griffins and bring them for the bait, I think there was a Word scroll :)

and honestly, the fact about the same visibility still dissonates with the general theme -- if the map was leaked anyway, then why this clowning around: one could have crawled to Dragon Utopia even in the dark ;) especially the very fact that Valya moved with a penalty and BEFORE having visibility into those backwaters suggests that some kind of goal had already been targeted there even before it was spotted!))))))
