Something went wrong for Kosti, and he conceded. He gave up on the auto-build.
The blue player was doing well, but it wasn't fast-paced because of the long distances and the one-week block in the adjacent territory, so he had to go to the corner village. After a full purchase of levels 1-6 in the castle without vassals, he had 19k gold by day 122 :D

Thank you for the game!

I, on the other hand, was extremely short on money. With a full trade, I barely managed to buy levels 1, 2, and 6 and went to take the Hive. The 47 mage guard with Ground Strike wiped out half of my army because, for some reason, the artifacts from the Loch didn't transfer when I clicked, and I didn't even notice. As a result, Tazar was without +1 morale and a very important scroll with Bless. The Hive itself also turned out to be extremely unsuccessful. In the end, I was left with 10 Vivs and 10 gr. lizards and no money at all. I could have struggled until day 127 (we were playing an additional game with a stake), but I didn't want to waste time, and no promising directions were found. Thank you for the game!
