We took several rests, including one after the encounter. The spawn was mediocre — a huge respawn but nothing particularly good on it; external dwellings of goblins, orcs, and cyclopes; a Dwarf Cottage with level 20 and an upgrade next to the road, which I took on 115; only one secondary zone on the road, a snowy one; on the first week I didn't even go there; on 117 1235 in the castle, with no prospects at all.

On the second week I went to the snow zone, where I spent the entire week; the respawn was also huge and useless, with no exits to the treasure zone in sight, though at least I gathered some gold, which was good. I built up ogres and cyclopes plus external dwellings.

Nowhere to go except to the opponent through the secondary zone, which I did — 58 orcs, 11 cyclopes, 30 dogs, and 14 efreets; what the opponent had was unclear. After breaking into the secondary zone, I found a Beholder in the Dungeon on a power-up at reds; in the castle there was a stack of Evil Eyes and minotaurs. The Beholder attacks anyway — there were 4 red minotaurs, 11 regular minotaurs, about 40 Evil Eyes, and small fry: 7 10 5 4; mass Slow against Crag with 13 4 2 4, expert Artillery, mass Haste. The opponent lost everything and retreated; I had 10 cyclopes and 20 orcs left. I went to look for the capital, and after a couple of days the opponent surrendered.
Thanks for the game!
