We played M200 by SK2TV rules. Started without resets, got a decent amount of meat at the start, plenty of gold on the respawn, some good mages. Then broke through to a snowy secondary town - there was a native village. By the end of the week I entered my treasure zone, killed some rags for a pandora's box with 5k experience and a skill tree +1 level and couldn't beat anything else, retreated home and went into the same treasure zone, but from home, through another passage, via a well. On week 2 I ate a Dragon Fly Hive, several naga banks and crypts fell, recovered a shield +5, built hydras in the castle. On week 3 I grabbed the tome of earth, a couple of pandora's boxes for experience and all of the 2nd level, a retreat home and killing the opponent in his castle. Thanks for the game!

That's how it was. At first I was happy about the 2 native heroes, ballista, empty road, chests and all that, but seeing the GO on the only road, I realized I was in trouble. All exits were deep in the respawn on roadless terrain, and the respawn was poor anyway. I took the secondary town as late as 123, and there was nothing except a thick medusa bank and an equally thick naga bank. The second week I was running around in the treasure zone, where the only good things were an imp cache, a crypt, and a pandora's box with 50 dwarves. All the treasure zone value was eaten up by the captain's hat and hill fort ) At the beginning of the second week I seemed to be ahead in meat, and the strategic overview was revealing part of the opponent's secondary and treasure zones, in principle I could have tried to catch him, but the portal guards were intimidating + on the other side there was a mage with a lot of mana, I didn't want to risk it, I just had to keep stacking up, I thought about going through the GO on 141, but Twaryna came earlier with 200 mana and a tome of earth. FB with no chance, GG, thanks for the game.
