Escape from Shio.

I've played for a couple more months this weekend – that's four months of in-game time now. My impressions are… maybe I'm missing something, or maybe I haven't noticed something, but playing as the "hero" is very tedious – not difficult, but tedious. Down below, "everything is going well"; I've cleared a path to all the cities, and I've blocked the green Rosenbaum in one place; he's been standing there for two weeks and is afraid to even sneeze. I could take him down at any moment, but I want to wait for all my available forces to arrive so I can eliminate him in one turn without any losses. But up top, I have to make Sigrif run around in circles to escape the enemy (I've already developed an algorithm for this), but one wrong step will lead to war – that is, to replaying this turn. I've been completely controlling one city (the southern one) for two months now, and I have to capture the second one (the central one) for one day (Monday) just to "harvest" resources. Right now, I've amassed 33 Archdevils at Sigrif's, and the numbers decrease from there. If I can hold out in this mode for another month, I'll have more forces than the blue player – 49 Archdevils against their 47, and then I can start fighting Kabelem. In general, the AI is an idiot. Instead of transferring all its forces to the runner, who could easily catch up to Sigrif and force him into a seppuku, it gave them to the succubus (Jezebeth), and she can't run, so I can survive thanks to my higher mobility. The runner (I don't remember his name) and the "engineer" (a moron) are sitting in the corners and are afraid to come out. P.S. I still don't understand what the point is of the caravans arriving at the Undead Castle – you can't reach them anyway. You could try playing around with Secret Crystals or Sword Walls to protect the temptresses, but that's also tedious – I've tried it a couple of times – you lose an hour, you kill half the dragons, but you still make a mistake in the end. So, the conclusion is simple: even if you defeat the dragon outpost with losses, it's not worth it – in four months, only five Archdevils have accumulated there, and the numbers decrease from there, so they're not very useful.
