I took my usual secondary town, cleaned the dwelling with oil, and upgraded it to level 3 with three libraries (all +2), so I felt confident. I met Kirre in the same place; he was significantly weaker in magic, but the rogue had a sphere of prohibition! And it turned out that I was weaker in troops. I fled and wasn't too upset, planning to gather more troops, but... PLAGUE!! It decimated 20 medusas and generally... 20 cerberuses from a stall saved me, and finally, luck returned - two pandoras gave me magogs and demons - already three inferno stacks, and against the opponent's 20+ wyverns, it wasn't scary anymore. On turn 211, I had even more troops, took all the land and the castle, i.e., I already had full control, and the opponent, meanwhile, lost his wyverns, broke the gate of the underworld, and came to surrender with a pathetic army. Thanks for the game!
