"only XL-2"

The beginning is enjoyable. Mullich arrived at the tavern, started receiving land, attack, defense, and logistics. A stable is located near the city, there are no hidden resources, a small consignment with growth spheres, not much money, he took a fire sword, and the horses are in the Fortress on the first level. On the second level, two native heroes appeared, I found a hidden resource with horses at the crossroads, a shield +1, a red chainmail, and unexpectedly, an opponent appears on the map with an army, kills my left hero, and steals a hive. But he didn't manage to escape far; Mullich catches up to him, and without magic, the opponent had no chance against the slow effect.
Thank you for the game.
