As usual, I checked all the heroes, but somehow I missed the fact that the pirate's stats were significantly inflated.
Someone must have cast a temporary blindness spell on me, I guess ;)
As for the results, the winner achieved 57 stats in 15 days, which isn't a record for a pirate hero!
It was quite easy to get 58 stats, and I think it was even possible to get 59...
Unfortunately, it was impossible to increase the stats of the hero I was using beyond 55 (that was the limit).
Next time, I'll cast a dispel or healing spell on myself before studying the map, so I don't lose so comically ;)
