I don't remember how many restarts we took. Started playing, good layout, Luna came in, everything was great. Found an external dwelling of dendroids and a mini-Griffin Conservatory, which I took immediately. Luna on an angel was destroying everything. There were many Dragon Fly Hives, but all were somewhat far. I didn't bother, leveled Luna up and went to the GO. The GO, by the way, had giants and gr. unicorns. I cleared the Cyclops' Tunic and the Orb of Fire next to the GO. And then a fatal misclick happened. I cleared the orb with a scout hero and wanted to give it to Luna, but decided to check from which tile I would attack and misclicked, attacking the giants without the orb... had to spend all mana, and couldn't break through the horses. But I broke through the GO with a misclick in the first week :D Had to run to the well, losing two days. Went out to the center, there was an unpleasant block of cyclopes. I took the Shield of Lion's Courage and the central swamp. Then Uncle Crag Hack showed up with 10-19 angels. I grabbed a Dragon Fly Hive, ran through with the scout hero and saw the Speaker's Hat behind the grey bears. I ran there with Luna and killed it. There was a chance to return to the castle, build a Mage Guild there, and win thanks to the blue player. However, I spent a good 5 minutes counting moves tile by tile, and according to my calculations, I was 10 moves short!!!! Very frustrating, only enough mana for 1 Dimension Door, and I had to run to a neutral respawn, which was a Barbarian one, thinking maybe I'd find a fountain quickly and return. Meanwhile, I built Mage Guild level 4 at home and got Town Portal. Crag Hack took the central castle and grabbed the Cloak of Abdication. There were 2 Dragon Utopias nearby, and I couldn't do anything to him... Decided to level Mephala to fight with Barbarian methods. Mephala was killed, but on day 131 she reappeared. We ran around a bit, I took a Dragon Utopia in an adjacent zone and several Dragon Fly Hives. I was preparing for the finale counting on 23 spell power and Lightning Bolt with a boost, but Crag Hack showed the red ball, which I unfortunately couldn't handle. A really long game indeed, and it was very frustrating to lose actually because of a misclick. In any case, thanks for the game, good luck with Stinger, and I'm waiting for a rematch.
