Only one road from the town and that one leads to ГО with a blocked passage to the secondary. I don't like taking rests unless things are really bad, plus I noticed an external dwelling of manticores and several crypts. On the first week, there were manticores in the stronghold + an external dwelling was taken. Additionally, I spotted two more manticore external dwellings. On the second week, I seized them and built a castle. Regarding the tavern, the opponent already had more than one town, but I wasn't in a hurry - time was on my side. I was short on money, traded tons of resources, and put up a capitol on the 3rd. Quietly made my way to the edge of my home "bun" (starting area) and stepped onto the grass, where I immediately spotted the opponent's scout. Decided not to rush Tazar right away so as not to risk it, even though I was itching to. Waited a couple of days, bought all the manticores (35 in total), and only then boldly pushed toward the opponent's secondary. He attacked immediately through a portal. Vidomina stood no chance - 3 0 attack and defense against Tazar's 7 13. + lots of manticores. The opponent bet on Death Wave magic, but by some miracle I had an amulet : )
Lucky with the layout.
Thanks for the game!
