The hero stationed on turn 1 didn't show up, but the resp is very rich; by the end of the week I had collected nearly 20k gold and a bunch of resources. I built Cavalry in the Castle, there was a one-way road, I blocked a gap in the resp and jumped into the swamps in the center. On day 117 I took the village, and with the 9th hero I managed to dig up Lacus. I captured the external dwellings of Elves and Centaurs + there's an external marketplace. On day 122 I took the Castle of the green Inferno in the Dungeon and started building a Mage Guild there. In the middle of the week, I recovered the Boots and ran out to the pink Dungeon's resp, where I took a single Griffin Conservatory. No goodies visible, so I went to scout and kill the second computer player. On the next turn in the Tavern, I discovered that pink had lost his Castle — apparently the red player did it. I rush forward and find Mülich with 1+1 Hydras on haste, two more in the Castle on defense. I first recapture the Castle at the cost of 10 Elves out of 45 and a Cav. I calculate how to kill Mülich in one turn — I have Advance, Haste, and an Archer with 80. My army has 2 Pegasi, 70 Centaurs, 1 Angel, 5 Cavs, and 34 Grands, with +2 morale and +1 luck. I bring the Elves into direct shot range with Tactics, and charge the rest into the other Hydra. Neither morale nor luck triggers; the Hydra is left with 4 HP( I cast Haste on the Grands because their speed matches the Hydra with 7, I kill the second one. Mülich escapes with a Hydra that has 4 HP((. On the same turn, Vida picks up a scroll that gives Town Portal, and I build a 4th Mage Guild in Inferno, which also has Town Portal. Next turn, a little horse runs into the multi-way passage from which red came and finds Tan with the rest of the power. Lacus has enough movement with Stables + Boots + Log + Haste, just barely reaching the remaining power — oh, there's not much: some 50 Lizardmen, 1 Wyvern, and some meat, gg.
Thanx for game!
