"only XL-2"

Not a bad start with 2 stacks of archers, decent gold, a convenient road. By midweek Kreg entered, took out the Conflux player, and broke straight into my treasure zone with a dungeon, where I also put a portal to the archers. The horses were placed in the fort. On the second day there were already 90 marks. I looted a Town Portal scroll, started building the Mage Guild, after learning Logistics and Air Magic, Kreg learned Earth Magic in Conflux. And then the opponent runs in with 9 Hydras (as it turned out, the second week was Hydra week, and I hadn't noticed), 2 Angels, 12 Wyverns, and 40 Gorgons with Snakes. With stables and gloves, having 3300 movement points, Kreg was rushing around like crazy collecting stat boosts and capturing neutral camps. After maneuvering a bit, the opponent runs into the treasure zone and leaves their army on a low-stat hero. Having observed this moment, with a level 4 Mage Guild, I cast Double Mana, collect Chain Lightning and Resurrection scrolls, reach the enemy army—capitulation follows. Thanks for the game.
