An interesting situation came up, with an external dwelling of Drakes, Grand Elves, Dendroid Guards, and Boots of Speed at the respawn; I cleared everything pretty quickly. Kyrre was leveling normally, with Expert Earth Magic and Logistics by 113... since there wasn't much to do for a turbo Kyrre, I was collecting stat boosters, gathered enough that stats were 12 20+ almost without artifacts, 3 Libraries and Arena. But there are no other objects or normal artifacts on the surface, except for 5 All. At the end of the second month I took a Dragon Utopia with 12 Wyverns, 14 Wood Elves, and 2 Green Dragons; they gave a bit of stats. The next Dragon Utopia also gave stats... 6 All and Boots with the Black Orb... I decided not to wait but to rush at the opponent while his stats weren't great and his army showed less; and so the blessed Kyrre with 4.5k movement, 27 39 34 (190) per turn, bursts out of the underground across wasteland into the opponent's deployment and takes the main town there where 3 Bears and 6 Birds were not recruited. I capture towns mostly undefended with Cockatrices, and find the main hero. On his turn, Dima makes a slight mistake and loses the main hero in a split; couldn't dig it up, followed by a surrender :smile21:. As post-mortem showed, he had a full control in several copies, but his stats were worse, while I had Bow of the Sniper and 50 Grand Elves and all the fire from Pandora's Box with Orb of Fire. Anyway, there could have been an interesting chase, but it didn't work out. Thanks for the game.
