Starting was decent, enough gold, all guards on the respawn are native, exit to the underground through a pack of mages. Gurney arrived, immediately took max crypts from the house with the speed necklace, got shooting. By the end of the week, cleared the respawn, took the mini-gnome dwelling, 5 heroes, 1-3 in the fort + two neutral stacks of caps, severe shortage of ore. There is an unguarded passage to a treasury with 4 hives and a hydra, but everything there is tough, Gurney would be scared in it.
I hit the mages, below there are also monks, lost a fair number of caps. In the underground there's a castle village, plenty of passages behind keymasters and tents, found a passage to the opponent behind the Evil Eyes, painted 2 castles, interesting stuff includes a Griffin Conservatory, but inconveniently located. I roam there a bit, on 125 Gunnar takes down the little Eyes and sends boosted Gurney to the tavern. I reclaim the village, buy Wystan there, and he with 150 caps kills 17 Eyes and part of 80-90 Troglodytes, followed by buyback. At home, Nagas are in the citadel.
131-135 - I run to the opponent's castle, the road is slow and a lifetime long. On 136, I see 2 Griffin Conservatories right by the castle, I take the first one, didn't have enough steps for the second. On my turn, the opponent attacks, two hundred caps quickly resolved everything.
Thanks for the game.
