I abandoned the game, a tower appeared, and I got a decent starting hero. The only road was blocked by 48 pegasus creatures guarding boots, resources, and a mine – I had to spend a long time outsmarting them and testing them at level 115. I entered the dungeon with the only road leading out of the one-way passage – I spent the entire second week traveling off-road, building up my town. Along the way, I joined a few smaller factions and also added 11 castle knights. I reached level 127 and found a Necropolis opponent nearby. On his turn, he cut down a couple of my scouts and positioned himself in front of Septia's castle with a level 1 angel and over 200 skeletons. Cyra replenished her mana and attacked in the shackles she had captured the day before – a scroll of flight suddenly appeared. I later built the same flight spell in my own tower, but at that moment, it was a pleasant surprise. I spent a couple of days strategizing and then flew to the Castle of Treachery, gathered a few reinforcements, joined 16 dread knights and 48 mages, rescued Rylanda from the prison, and obtained the Utopia artifact with a helm of 5 spells. However, the opponent surrendered on the next turn. Thanks for the game!
