At 132 I finally leveled Dimeru's Expert Earth and took a double-cons, two more doubles, then the GO broke and the opponent's main was captured with an un-upgraded 1-5 level and built up to the 7th. But this brought me no happiness, as I still had no gold. Taking the Dragon Utopia was not an option due to Dimeru's zero attack. I had to head to the planned treasure zone, but the opponent's hero showed up there the next turn, jumped into the castle, broke my chain from there, and brazenly ran off on flies, leaving the army in the castle. Dimeru, whom Broghild miraculously didn't spot, was one step short of punishing him for it. But thank God we parted ways and both entered the treasure zone, where the opponent took a Dragon Utopia, and I also took a Dragon Utopia (the hat!!), a Resurrection scroll, and a +50% Earth sphere. I now had the full magic set! The opponent got good stat-boosting artifacts, with 60 Wyverns and Air control he looked better than me, but I stocked up on swamp troops and the meat outweighed it.
Describing the further maneuvers would take too long; I'll just say it was a good mini-thriller! Toward the end, the red player ran away more, and I pursued him uncertainly, holing up in captured castles. On the last turn, Broghild decided to break through to the fork between the mains — he probably suspected there were enough troops in both (terrible gold shortage, the map is very poor on banks, while the opponent had nowhere to put the gold from two Dragon Utopias!) — but I also knew how to fly and caught him. In the final battle, I bombarded him with explosions.
Thanks for the game!
