12/19/2010 R55Max (blue, castle, Caitlyn, Nagash) def. wowa (red, Barbarian, Gurney, Gurney) 6LM10, 122.

We finished the game.
At the start, both heroes had +350. Very good. The map was boring, and the game was shaping up to be long, but Wowa lost due to the dungeon.
Thanks for the game.

You're welcome. :)
Regarding the game: there were restarts, but when I saw it was 6LM10, I decided to play it because I had a rough idea of what to expect. It turned out I was wrong: 6LM10 is much richer than on Elven maps, and there wasn't a single chest near the castle, nor in the cleared intermediate zones. I ventured into the swamp, and there was a dungeon guarded by a horde of dwarves. I thought it would be easy, but there was only basic artillery, and no flying units (I didn't have the resources to build birds). As a result, the wall reached the cannon and destroyed it. I didn't run away because I didn't have enough money for a ransom, and what's the point of Gurney without a cannon? ;)
Nevertheless, on the next turn, I took a village near the dungeon with a small force (Gurney was attacking with a few units and a stack of orcs, and the trap that was supposed to save the cannon failed). Then, with reinforcements of gnolls and lizards, I finished off the dwarves: there was a level 5 mage. We paused the game at that point, and then real life didn't allow us to finish it for a long time. And when we finally got back to it, I didn't feel like dragging out the game: there were tough blockades everywhere, I was short on money, and I couldn't see where to get more. :(
So, I surrendered, and this surrender intensified the competition in the group to the extreme. :D
