Fan tournament: Full contact.

I completely agree with you, Kostya, about the roads. On this map, it's best to have fast or, at worst, medium-speed roads. And the mandatory rest for the SoD (Stronghold of Darkness) on slow roads is taken into account in the tournament rules in the first post. And magic is very effective:smile16:. Also, don't neglect the defense of your castles; building a Citadel or even a Castle allows you to repel powerful enemy attacks. It's also better to always have a reserve of money so that, if necessary, you can bribe and redeploy troops to another front. Small armies don't cost much. Don't forget that if there's a threat of bribery, it's better to get rid of all ballistae and ammunition carts, as you'll also have to pay for them. But when retreating, military units are preserved. Regarding the color, red seems better, in my opinion. On day 1, you can capture a castle with an old growth and stay in it, releasing a new one.
