Started without rests. Ryland was in the tavern from the start. On the first week, horses were in the fort; there wasn't really anywhere else to spend the money anyway.
On the second week, I started joining various small units; the most reasonable things I found were 100 harpies and 40 elves. A max Dragon Utopia was found, but I had nothing to take it with.
The cartographer repelled 131. The opponent took the Dragon Utopia, then went on the attack through the main guards. Meanwhile, Claudius repelled the fourth secondary site, not far from where the shackles lay. I take the shackles, build Mage Guild 4 houses, and they give resurrect. Ryland doubles his mana and settles in the Castle. Stats are equal; he has 5+ Black Dragons, while I have no good stacks, only snipers and elves. Well, there are also horses and one-hit wonders. And 160 mana with resurrect. After standing for a couple of days in the chapel, Vokial finally attacks with two dragons, casts Armageddon and cannot escape, but he only had enough mana for one Armageddon.

Thanks for the game.
