All restarts were chosen. Had to play on slow roads. The respawn was decent, and Vistan showed up in the tavern. On 114 - Wyvern nook, but the passes to secondary zones are blocked by archers, so I had to slow down. By the end of the first week, 2 lizard nooks + Wyverns. Meanwhile, the opponent already took the secondary zone. On week 2, I break through 2 passes, take the only hive and conserve a second one. I discover an exit to the treasure zone. Terrible shortage of gold. Only on 141 do I enter the treasure zone without expert wisdom, resulting in the first Pandora's box completely ruining my plans (either level 4 or level 5 magic missed). I take Dragon Utopia 1 (artifacts: +3 all, +5 knowledge, +4 spell), the next turn the second one + a hive for 12 Wyverns. In the second second zone, I get the Book of Earth and a +5 all sword. I decide to go after the opponent. I drop by his secondary zone, take the hive, capture the citadel. The opponent's main hero is revealed, running home. Thanks to Town Portal, I catch him, wipe out most of his troops, and the opponent buys himself out. He retakes the citadel (with 2 behemoth nooks) and buys back his hero. The scout hero brings him the second part of the army. On the next turn, I finish him off, and gg. Essentially, the Implosion on 1850 decided everything.
Thanks for the game.
