Only one restart remained; Kostya had already used his. He spotted an Air book on the respawn point, offering 5-9 gold per Hydra, and decided to play. In the first week, he took a minor artifact and cleared the guards of two more large hives, taking them with a 121 growth rate. He also defended against a Kraken and sent a scout flying into the center, getting close to the central castle. On day 121, he attacked the center with Loynis, taking a chest for experience, which granted him Diplomacy and Air magic. He also opened a Cartographer under the central castle and discovered that his opponent also had one on their respawn point. He wasted two days because he suddenly ran out of money and couldn't even afford to cast spells. However, the opponent wasn't rushing the center, so he managed to grab Wings, Crown of the Underworld, +2 speed, a +5 all stats sword, and gauntlets from the treasure room. On day 125, Loynis joined 30 gold worth of Minotaurs, 10 gold worth of Unique creatures, and a Grand Order of Wyverns, totaling 139 creatures. He then moved to another castle to replenish his mana, feeling quite relaxed. But unexpectedly, Tazar took a Utopia with a Kraken on his respawn point and reached Loynis, who was sitting in the castle. There were Kraken, 6 Angels, 33 Monarchs, and 50 gold worth of Lizards, with higher stats and +3 morale/luck. I had -2 morale. I could have easily lost that battle if my ducks had lost morale once or twice. But that didn't happen, and I won. Thanks for the game!
