After defeating the Elementals, Ivor said goodbye to Seiliaedh and headed south through the deserts. Not far away was the village of Wild, surrounded by high walls. The inhabitants greeted Ivor with joy (they learned the news from the north). Soon, the ranger received a new assignment - to cool the ardor of the warlike peoples of the southern swamps.

Week 1
In total, there were 13 Elves, and nearby was a dwelling of Gnomes. I visited the Observation Tower - I saw my native secondary Castle behind a horde of Gnomes and a Castle in the swamp behind Ogres, and a dwelling of Dendroids. I capture both Castles. In the swamp, near the city, there is a dwelling of Wyverns with 20+ Swordsmen (of course, I break through). There is very little money, I built levels 1-3 and 5 in the Citadel in both native Castles.

Week 2
I buy a few Elves and Wyverns (already 4). I explore the swamp a little, visit crypts and pits of Imps. There is not enough money and wood. By the end of the week, I manage to find some gold and wood, I build Wyverns in the Citadel:
"... Since I came to the village, I noticed how poorly its inhabitants live. My gold supply ran out very quickly. I had to work hard on trade and social reforms..."
By the end of the week, the income becomes normal, the market rate is 50 gold for wood. Ivor is level 9, an expert in tactics and defense.

Week 3
I notice that it is the week of Battle Gnomes. I buy all the Wyverns (8 units join the remaining ones), then 50 Lizard Warriors (with a dwelling), there are 60 High Elves. With Elves, I break through the Minotaurs guarding the Pandora's Box (they gave 30+ Captain Centaurs, I was very happy :smile52:), the Conservatory (+1) and the min. Treasury. I buy 99 Battle Gnomes and on the 6th day I shoot down 3 Crystal Dragons.
"... How beautiful these ruby-colored creatures were. It's a pity that such beauty had to be destroyed. We lined up our troops, and the dragons noticed us. I was a little surprised by their rapid appearance, but my warriors were ready. A hail of arrows fell on them, but the dragons stood their ground and continued to hammer our units at the forefront. Soon they shattered into thousands of fragments, and we went to the capital of the inhabitants of the southern swamps - the way was clear..."
The opponent did not expect such a turn of events (the main hero was far away + the army was significantly inferior to mine) and surrendered.

Stratte, thank you for the game! We survived in the same conditions, but I was a little luckier :smile02:
