Game 1
There wasn't much of a fight. I chose both restarts, the first one in search of a better game, and the second one due to a bug - the path to the computer was guarded until level 19. Then, the opponent's hero killed, potentially giving +5 free armor... in the last one, I thought, "well, now he'll surrender" :( - I've been relaxing on MM for the last 4 games... but I got lucky.
I got 5 free elves, gathered enough wood to upgrade, and the hidden horses and dungeon-computer were just great. I didn't calculate the money properly, though; I only had enough to buy the horses in the portal and the citadel with horses at home, but there were places to get more. I went to the Nagabank, hoping it wasn't maxed out, but the opponent said he was ending the battle. The analysis showed that neither of us had a clear advantage, but still, it was in favor of the elves.

Thanks for the game.
