I played with some mistakes, but the chocolate did its job. By turn 112, I had a stable and boots. I leveled up on the first experience point, upgrading the log's attack, earth, passfight, and cannon. On turn 123, I broke a Garrison of Ogres with 60 horses, with stats of 18, 20, 19, and 150+ mana... I rescued a hero from prison, grabbed a +12 shield, and attacked a town with Ivorn. There was no mana, haste on the angels, I activated Grandors, and they surrendered.
Thanks for the game!
