I had to spend 112 movement points on a buggy road leading directly to the center (guarding 9k). I got long roads, one-way paths, and only Mullich provided decent experience. On turn 135, a scout traveling off-road encountered a purple commander – there were 2 roads, 4 portals nearby, and an opponent arrived with angels – resulting in a loss of horse growth and a powerful scout, plus a castle was given away (I took the only mediocre tower-2, checked what GM4 would offer, and gave up).
Thank you for your time.
