It was very difficult. Scouting showed that things were looking pretty bad, but there was still a chance to break into the Castle's mine. It wasn't clear what to do on the second week, but then on 122 the opponent blundered with a Pikeman, and I managed to kill almost his entire army and take the artifacts. The opponent didn't surrender :smile20: , and we saved there.
The second part — I decided to press on since he had many towns, and I was sitting without money and still didn't see anything particularly tasty worth rushing to fight for. I took villages and a mine, recaptured the Griffin Conservatory — a single one... well, okay. I smashed the max Naga Bank, and then the opponent appeared in my treasure zone. In his tavern, his mines showed up. I made a full buyout from the Naga stack and went, as I thought, to kill the opponent, picking up shackles along the way. And then it turns out he has 4 Bears :smile11: !! 6 Cyclopes from Kiryusha were putting in good work, plus a stack of 20 Ducks. In the end, I got confused in the final fight and played poorly, although I still can't figure out if it could have been won.
thanks for the game
