Thank you for the game.
That's how it went.
I got my secondary town and 3 elf dwellings, but I saw that my opponent also had his secondary town. Plus, I was always short on money.
I could have tried to suddenly capture my opponent's capital through the passage from the secondary spawn near the Gate of the Month on 122, but I was sure I wouldn't make it. And I didn't want to storm the castle, especially since I saw 20+ orcs on the first level (it turned out to be a Pandora). Plus, I didn't have mass magic.
On 123-125, I took two more secondary towns-towers, hoping to find at least one consulate (or a hive). There was only 1 hive, and it was deep in the snow, so I didn't take it. On 126, I took +2 to speed, and on 127, I broke through the Gate of the Month (psychic) at the cost of my horses and settled in my opponent's capital. There was a hidden stash of firebirds in the treasure, so on the first turn, I had nothing but a horde of grand orcs.
I took the growth of thunderbirds and ran to the treasure, where I was ambushed.
Thank you for the game!
