5.01.14 Dima Surmay (blue, Dungeon, Shakti) def 0771 (red, Rampart, Ivor) 2sm4d(3) 246

The start was good: I had my own Castle and a hidden Manticore there. I took a minimal Garrison and a large one. Shakti gets Earth and, with an expert skill, takes the maximum Garrison. However, a weak unit runs along the road with 4 Angels... and the red player cuts down 2 Angels, so I immediately pay them off.
In the third week, I take a small Utopia, but it doesn't give anything special. I clear the Treasure rooms, finding either money or experience... but I really want something for control. However, I found 2 hidden native Dragons in the Treasure rooms. After that, the game was unremarkable; I didn't know where to go. I barely found a Pandora's Box on the entire map and took the hidden Dragons, but I was short on money. However, I found a Fire book and a cloak that provides resistance to magic above level 2. As a result, I managed to steal a maximum Utopia from my opponent in one of the Treasure rooms: again, nothing good, but very needed money. Then I upgraded the Dragons and decided to attack.
While I, as a Miner, was taking castles one by one, Ivor was finishing clearing the Treasure rooms. He also didn't have much control; he only had the Earth book.
And then, when the Miner finally reached his opponent's native Castle, just a little short, Ivor attacks himself: The magic power is significantly in his favor, but I have a cloak against magic and also 35% magic resistance, which worked at about 50% in battle. As a result, Ivor had little chance in the Fortress Battle.

Thank you for the game, and also for forgiving the accidental rule violation when the weak unit didn't notice the guard and ran past. Luckily, there was a block there, and it returned. I only realized this 3 days later.
