I also looked at the saves and didn't understand what the assumptions about cheating were based on...

I didn't take Pandor for the halberdiers, although I don't think it will significantly affect the pace....

And what's the point of it when it's turn 124, and Red hasn't reached the center yet...? If you consider that there are 50-99 halberdiers there, then 5k experience or 5k gold won't be better, and wasting 380 mana for this is nonsense when they can decide the outcome in the center...

And it's not that clear how to get there quickly on turn 131...

It's just funny...you didn't look at the saves very well...firstly, as Captain Obvious said, there's really nowhere to run, only in a westerly direction, since the eastern direction almost certainly leads to a Guard outpost on dirt...and secondly, with DD, Ivor might end up right at the gates of the blue dungeon, which was visible back on turn 127, where on turn 131 you can take Whirlwind, then everything becomes even simpler and clearer...

I think this is enough...
