We started playing without restarts.
The respawn turned out to be rather scarce, a few low-level pickups (Air, Water, Fire). 4 Dragon Fly Hives and that's it. But we got excellent Pandora's Boxes: one for 15 Storm Elementals, 20 Magma Elementals, 20k gold and all of level 4 + Blue Hat for 80 Vampires, one for 117 Green Dragons with full control and 150 mana.
I top off mana and run to the center, on the way I break a Dragon Utopia (single) and because of a small amount of meat, I have to seriously drain my mana, but they give me a Sword +5 All.
Double GO: Efreetis and Wyverns, both need to be killed. I break them on day 123, but I have no mana left. Immediately after, a block of 18 Red Dragons guarding a prison, almost no chaff, but I somehow break through them too; in the prison they give Labetha at level 30, with experience: all magic, Pathfinding, Catapult, Estates, First Aid, but with full mana. I decide to switch to her. Next, another block of 17 upgraded Cyclopes (Pandora's Box with 8 Nagas), who get a morale boost on the first turn and crash into the Storm Elementals; I somehow manage again, using explosion. Then it gets more fun: a block of 16 Angels with Grand Strike (Pandora's Box with 20k gold), I lose absolutely everything possible and impossible. What remains is 3 birds, 24 Wyverns (the stack managed to survive, not a single wyvern lost during the whole time), and a bit of chaff. I capture the central castle and sit down to replenish mana. 4 heroes with all of level 4, thanks to experience from Literacy.
While I'm replenishing mana with Labetha, scout heroes find Dragon Fly Hives in the wasteland, about 7 of them on one screen. I take all the hives and run to the opponent.
Then begins a week of running around; in the end I scouted almost the entire opponent's respawn, captured castles, but he managed to run away from me through a passage and capture my main; there Labetha caught him, despite the Cloak of Undeath, Fireball without a chance; a stack of 70+ wyverns has nothing to counter.
The opponent was very unlucky with GO, quadruple and all had to be killed + treasure zone in the wasteland.
Thanks for the game and your time!
