Ivor was in the tavern right away, and I assumed he would be the main one. But then Galtran was found (plus a ring of life). The road to the center was just a path that ended at the exit monolith... The gold payout was decent - enough to upgrade horses in the Castle. Two pegasus external dwellings.
I decided not to take the companion on the first week, as I had other priorities. On the second week, we collect resources totaling 10 angels. A resurrection scroll. Galtran - earth-air-tactics-diplomacy.
On the third, we take the Dragon Utopia: in the first one, they gave a necklace for everything, a book of fire, and a cloak of speed. Plus I got a vampire mantle. In the second - a hat +3+3, red boots, and an unnecessary necklace +3+3.
Next - I break through 44 lizards from the remaining two-way split, fully confident that it leads to the center. Nope - that's my luck... By checking the map, I determine where to exit via the underground wasteland. The opponent misclicks. I agree automatically to give on standard terms (in case of victory - a draw and a new game). He writes - ГГ.
(in 2 days Galtran would have gained control - and an unreal power advantage thanks to diplomacy)
Thanks for the game.
