COMPETITION FOR MONEY $$$ (2012)

Yes, I should have chosen a different, more challenging path. I probably should have run through the green gate to get the book, but that option seemed unrealistic to me. Also, the various battles scared me so much that I prepared so thoroughly for the battle with the Ice Golems on day 12 that the computer defeated them in auto-battle with almost no losses, but I didn't dare replay it, as I couldn't even imagine the final battle at that time. I also didn't know how I would kill Sandro; I thought that, as a last resort, I could kill Deemer and skip a week of turns so that Sandro would self-destruct. But when I finally had the opportunity to fight Sandro, I killed him, losing only two goblins. In short, I'm a complete newbie in serious battles. Excessive caution did me no good.
