We played with a full random map, both of us restarted, and in the end, we surrendered on turns 3, 4, 5, and 6.
With such a duel, I immediately decided that I needed to arrive on turn 3. Fortunately, Deleb started well, with good stats. The resource locations were poor in terms of money, so I had to venture into the center on turn 2, where I got some good artifacts. Plus, on the turn to surrender, I was given an Image of Darkness. I managed to execute the plan, arrived, and took the castle.
Thank you for the game.
