Not the best respawn (though it'll do in principle), but Marius came in and immediately got a Log. I ran straight along the road, collecting money with scouts at home. On turn 116-117 I reached the brown ramp, took his Castle with Stables near it. Using the Marketplace, I traded Mercury and built Birds in the Fort on week 1. On week 2 I ran into the portal near the ramp and on turn 123 bumped into the opponent with 8 Wyverns, 16 Medusas, 90 gr. Troglodytes, 17 Evil Eyes without a spell book. My army was also quite weak: 4 Birds, ~17 Air Elementals and Pixies. I attacked, took 3 Wyverns and 30 Troglodytes and bought them off, losing 1 Bird while the second survived on 1 HP). I brought the Psychics and went there again, while the opponent retreated to his respawn. I took the Dungeon village, there were 2 Dragon Fly Hives and Boots. The opponent is showing 10-19 Wyverns and 3 Angels, so I don't go further toward him but instead take the orange Necropolis town, also with Stables near the Castle. I spot an exit into my super treasure zone, it's in the corner and likely quite large, so I split on week 3 and go there. The treasure zone turned out divine: 3 Libraries, a Chalice, ~5 Hives, Pandoras for experience, Perches, Sword +5, Shield +6. I never found control, but stats were already 29-28-17-17 on turn 137, and I also took the blue Dungeon. I scout my Castle treasure zone, and there I finally find a Flight scroll (at home in Mage Guild 5: Magic Mirror). With Flight I move to the other part of the map toward the only revealed Dragon Utopia, along the way taking 2 Griffin Conservatories of level 3 and a Shield +12. The Dragon Utopia gave +3 all stats and a Helm +12 Knowledge. With a view spell I see a decent treasure zone to the right, I decide to move there; meanwhile, scouts on 5 Devils pick up 3 Hives and an Angel external dwelling in the treasure zone where the Flight scroll was. With Marius I found another 4 Hives, a Ring of Speed +1, and a Dragon Utopia with two caps) In the ramp, the Mage Guild 5 has Implosion. (No Town Portal yet) Meanwhile, Gundula on Devils breaks into another treasure zone, there's a Conservatory (max) and a Dragon Fly Hive. On turn 223, finally the third Mage Guild (Dungeon's) gives Town Portal! It became much easier; I gather all my army, take the remaining Cloak of Speed +2 in my treasure zone (the opponent was nearby, I didn't want to leave it for him), take the green swamp, and upgrade my 112 Wyverns. On turn 227, with a view spell I see a newly captured town in another part of the map and 3 heroes there. Gundula with 2 Dimension Doors reaches the captured village, but half the army was left on a scout there. Marius (32-38-23-27) with 3900 MP and 2 Dimension Doors Town Portals to the nearest town and with 2 Dimension Doors reaches the village; the Wyverns' attack oneshots 109 gr. Medusas, and the other stacks finish off the remnants. A concession follows. Thanks for the game!
