tower, inferno, and stronghold remain
got away with just one restart from the opponent

111 only 4 heroes... but... near the castle there's an experience stone. Crag with Logistics. Nearby are three mercenary camps. They can boost attack by 3 per turn. Then it gets even more wonderful. Within one turn's distance are two Griffin Conservatories. Behind them is an Arena. Near the castle is a Dragon Utopia. Lovely :smile03: in the castle there are wolves. Birds became available.
112 5 heroes. In the castle there are orcs. From a skeleton, a sword +3 attack :smile44:
113 Birds upgraded. Crag headed south, Das north. Need to break through 20-49 orcs. Luckily there's Tactics, so the birds can fly there immediately.
114 Das opens the path to the northern riches. Crag halted at the southern guard. Building a Citadel.
115 In the south, 20-49 nomads are broken through. Reached a secondary 10-19 vases. Got to the grass. Rushed to find the castle. Stats 11-1-4-1.
116 Secondary taken. Visited the stable and arena. In the main castle, I plopped elves in the secondary. I regretted it later.
117 Gathering all the gold we see. Took a pre-maximum crypt. Worked at the market, and in the castle, bears became available. Crag on a bird holed up in the stable. 4 Griffin Conservatories are revealed on the map. Plans like Napoleon's.
121 All plans were ruined by Gosh. He dashed out of the fog to my secondary. Took the gloves I was aiming for and stood next to my scout hero. His army has skeletons, pit fiends, efreet, and... an angel. What to do? All gold is spent. Resources have been traded. The main castle is full of troops, but there's nothing to buy them with. We leave the scout hero not far from Gosh, on the opposite side from my spawn. Hope is that they will kill him.
122 The scout hero died a hero's death. Lured Gosh away. He also spotted a crypt and went there too. I'm collecting money. Everyone is involved.
123 Crag visited another arena. Stood next to a Griffin Conservatory. Galtran is visible. He's on a speedster with 1 angel. But still shouldn't reach me.
124 That's it. Nothing's scary now. From the Griffin Conservatory: 2 angels. From the castle: 3 bears. 26 orcs, 8 upgraded birds, 7 grand elfs. Crag level 7, expert Attack, expert Logistics, advanced Pathfinding. Could have attacked himself. Decided to just wait.
125 Gosh approached the castle and stopped. I had a choice: either attack or wait in the castle. I chose the worse option. I thought Gosh had no choice but to attack.
126 Gosh turns around and hits GO for a long time. Broke through 10-19 hydras. I think it's over. I'm a bad player. Why didn't I finish it. Now I'll have to chase him on his territory. But Gosh kept going through mine. Crag catches up, and here's the finale. Crag has 16-3-4-1, troops already listed. Gosh, I think, 5-4-3-5, no mana. Units: a sultan of efreet. 1 angel. About 100 skeletons. The fight was purely formal. There followed a surrender.

Thanks for the game!
