I took all restarts, opp just 2 of them.
the good: a very rich respawn with 3 cons , few behe dwells (took just 2 of them), dungeon , nice utopia ( 2) right next to my main with earth book , shield +12, +4 hat and +5 stick. The key factor was pandora for 80! (yes, that's right) goblins at 112
the bad: lot of blocks on roads, some of them should be illegal ( ex: 7 sultans efreet guard Cape of Conjuring, seriously?...); hard to level up without pandora for experience, at 117 Crag was level 6;
huge mistake at 124 when I went in dung to double up mana but I didn't, even more, I bought Crag in center town with 7 mana, thankfully opponent wasn't interested in contact.
ggwp.thx
p.s. thanks for compliments and good luck in future games
