Took one restart

111 Stable near the Castle. Beyond the mountains, an external dwelling of horses is visible. 4 heroes. Archers upgraded. Decided to play.
112 Realized I should have restarted. And I was afraid to take the last one. Still, there was some hope for capturing the two stables (they stand close together, guarded by 50-99 swordsmen). Saw that I have no respawn of my own. The entire respawn consists of a thin path looping around to one secondary and then to the second. The first guard is 20+ wood creatures, with grass beyond them. My troops: 17 archers, 38 spearmen. Went down to search for the lower secondary. Killed 20+ shooting gremlins, 20+ boars, 20+ cerberi. Took the ore. No extra heroes, no money. At the end of the turn: 15 archers, 27 spearmen.
113 Took a small crypt. Got 4 swordsmen.
114 Killed 20+ captains and centaurs. Approached another adjacent zone. Guard: 20+ mages. A small detour, then 20+ stone golems. Broke through the golems. Reached another adjacent zone. Dirt terrain. The road ran into 50+ ogres guarding an artifact +1 speed. Turn Turis back. Leave two scout heroes to search for gold. A terrible shortage. Leave one with 15 skeletons and 3 zombies that came with the second hero. In case he finds a passage to the Castle and needs to defend...
115-116 Turis returned to the wood creatures. Scout heroes gathered a little gold, but only 4 heroes total. All resources go into building and recruitment. Cristian with the skeletons seems to find a passage to the Dungeon.
117 Brought in 2 horses. Killed the wood creatures with the loss of one horse. Then 20+ harpies. My own secondary :) . Turis on horseback almost reached the stable. Cristian took the Dungeon. Built 12346 in the Citadel... how I managed with the gold shortage, I don't understand myself. Only 4 heroes.
121-126 Then it got fun. Tiris learns magic. In the lower adjacent zone, picks up +1 speed. Three Dwarf Cottages, one Medusa dwelling, one crypt. The money issue is somewhat resolved.
127 Turis returned and killed 50+ swordsmen. Took two external horse dwellings. In the Dungeon, a portal +2 horses. Had enough money to recruit all.
131-132 Tiris went to clear the top. 22 upgraded horses fear nothing.
133-135 Top is cleared. Took three Naga banks. A Pandora's box for 5 experience levels. A Hive for 4 Wyverns. Captured the gloves of speed. Placed horses in the adjacent zone. In the main, an unpopular Capitol. Decide not to go for angels. Horses are the main striking force. Growth at the start of the week +16:smile44:
136 Somewhere, something is being cleared. Turis decides to go hit 20+ fire birds. Stood next to them on one horse with the gloves.
137 Under the onslaught of 24 horses, 20 swordsmen, and nearly 100 halberdiers, the birds fell. Captured the opponent's main. Scout heroes ran to scout his territory. The opponent has a green Dragon built in the Castle but not recruited... On the next turn, the opponent surrenders.

P.S. A tough first week. Twice I was close to losing, and then it was all smooth sailing.

Thanks for the game!
