Pyre (red, Swamp, Tazar) def. Lexmaster (blue, Rampart, Ivor, Sandro) 127, Speed-2

I gave up on a gnoll and serpent lair, the lumber mill turned out to be too far and blocked, so I built as little as possible. I placed a wivern and serpents in the main castle, and the same in the secondary castle, but in the Citadel. I explored one neighboring zone, but it was empty, with no creatures or Hive.
In the second week, I moved to another neighboring zone, where I saw a creature dwelling from afar. While I was moving, the opponent caught me off guard, breaking my defenses and taking my main castle. But I still managed to grab the creature dwelling, which unfortunately turned out to be a minor one. I passed the troops along the chain to the secondary Swamp castle and moved Tazar there. I sat there for a couple of days, thinking about what to do. The opponent was firmly entrenched in the castle and didn't want to come out. His magic power was 8, compared to my 4. At first, I thought about staying put and building a level 2 town, but then I decided to rush his dwelling. Tazar has experience, logs, and earth, which is the main tactic. I run there, but they catch up to me. I have 54 lizardmen, 70 gnolls, 10 wiverns, 1 angel, and 23 serpents. The opponent has about 60 centaurs, 40 dwarves, 18 dryads, 48 elves, and also about 15 of my serpents.
I emerge from the Fortress with 24 lizardmen and 40 gnolls.
Then the chase began. I took his native castles in one turn. And then he came out of my main castle. I took advantage of this, passed the army along the chain, and Labeta from the secondary castle reached my main castle and I moved Tazar there.
Then there was another battle where Labeta, with 7 gnolls, destroyed the 2 remaining wiverns. After that, he surrendered.
Thanks for the game!
