Playing in St. Petersburg.

A match with a dreadful number of mistakes on my part. :mad: Since we were playing for fun, I didn't properly scout the map, and only on the 4th week, when I saw the opponent's Castle, did I check the properties of my central town and realized that it had been fully built from the start. I, on the other hand, had given it away, along with 5 gold mines on the Erathia islands, to Eric, and started building up the nearest village. A foolish head leads to clumsy hands. :smile29: I also completely forgot about the guards in ships, pyramids, and abandoned mines, so I didn't go near them at all until the 4th week; on the way to the Necropolis, I captured a crystal mine, but I passed by a sulfur mine, even though I had already decided to abandon building up my own castle; I lost a dragon during a harmless assault on a Castle... and also spent several nights at the entrance to a building, and in the morning tried to press the "spacebar." In general, the fun nature of the match and the lack of practice had a very unfortunate effect. But I was lucky with the heroes (two barbarians leveled up with the Log skill) and artifacts (two compasses, boots, +3 to attack and defense).
Before the next game, I need to at least reread my own manual, because I've forgotten everything in 15 years. :smile05:
