We each took 1 restart on 111.
I was immediately tempted by the presence of a Griffin Conservatory under the Castle behind the Gogs and the Dragon Fly Hive. I spread out, found a couple of crypts, could gather some gold, and the exits to two secondary heroes were close; the respawn went downwards — I decided to play.
I cleared the Centaurs, on 113 I was two tiles short of the Rampart secondary hero, but instead I found an external dwelling of green dragons behind a crowd of Witches and the Pendant of Courage behind Giants. I lost 2 days reaching for an empty Pandora’s Box. Meanwhile, on the other side of the main hero, I cleared the Witches with Uland to reach the second secondary hero; two Centaurs survived. I found the native secondary hero, but taking it with only two Centaurs was problematic — none of the scrolls under the Castle turned out to be an arrow spell.
Valeska was leveling up well and smoothly moved toward the area of the native secondary hero. On 121, Sorcha took the dragons and a Naga Bank 4. I lost 12 Archers due to my own stupidity — I positioned them under the breath attack, and in the Naga Bank they killed my Horse. But the choice was limited: either the Horse or almost all the Archers, and gold was catastrophically short for recruiting. In the second Castle, I found a Pandora’s Box for 21 Pit Lords (10k experience); as scouting showed, there was nothing else interesting there, but further down the road another Griffin Conservatory was revealed, a Sword +3, and literally a day's travel away began a snowy treasure zone with two Dragon Fly Hives at the exit and the Ring of the Wayfarer (+1 speed).
The situation was definitely starting to please me, and then at the edge of the visible area appeared Iona with an Angel and a lot of meat. I had to urgently restructure all the chains from the Dragon Fly Hives and recall Valeska, who at the last moment decided that the Pendant of Courage should still be picked up, and that entrusting this to Sorcha (who had lost the Archers and the Horse) was too risky.
The opponent disappeared into the darkness; I didn’t chase him because I first needed to make up the gap in Angels.
I took the Conservatory only on 131 — 2, and on 132 — 3, finally grabbed the Pendant of Courage, and was about to go after the opponent when, clearing the guard in an underground treasure zone along the way with a scout hero, I found 2 Dragon Fly Hives right at the exit and a Telescope (a quest artifact) behind a flock of Twilight Dragons. Such a guard promised a good bonus; I decided to lose another two days with Valeska and take the artifact. There were 17 Twilight Dragons; I lost 1 green dragon and a bit of meat. I crashed back into my native Castle. A harsh disappointment: Sorcha gives the army, reaches the seer under the Castle with the Telescope — it's experience, and she is standing on her last movement point, ffs. I had to wait another day for Valeska, but at least she turned in the artifact for 20k experience. Valeska was already level 17, which couldn’t help but please. Morale +7 and Mass Haste were supposed to finish off Ivor.
Carefully positioning myself at the start line, beyond the vision zone of the previously appearing Iona, with a stable and an experience log, on 136 I reached the opponent’s main town, killed 1 Pegasus, and holed up in the Castle waiting for the enemy’s attack.
No attack came. I captured another opponent Castle nearby, right under the Castle a Shield +5 behind the Cyclopes, killed a scout hero with dragons (there was an external dwelling on the main). Air scouting showed that the opponent’s heroes were to the upper left. I wanted to cut across through a secondary Stronghold town but ended up in a dead end — however, the opponent wrote gg.
Thanks for the game.
