The first stage of the tournament "named after Van Kanigem"

Lana, it's time to show your hand. :)
I don't remember if I bought troops in enemy castles, I think not (they were all redeemed). Ah, I remember now, I bought trolls. In my own castles, I bought peasants once to capture the sand quarry.
As for construction—I only built a castle, a shipyard, a ship, and a magic tower. That's it.

Well, that's what I figured, that you didn't build anything and probably recruited spearmen near the village. I, on the other hand, built spearmen and spent money on them that should have been used more wisely.
Actually, for a proper game, I only had about 3 hours on Tuesday, February 27. And another hour on February 24—enough to check the map and run across it in 22 days.
