Got decent area and collected 37 monarchs before breaking into the desert. Broke on day 123 with full movement against nagas and wyverns. The next day, I took a town that gave +10 SP artifact, Shackles of War, and a shield +4 all. On the overview map, I saw that the opponent's main hero was very close, and I had just enough movement to enter the desert tower town and refill mana. I also checked with a scout that Gunnar had only 2 mana points, and with Shackles of War on Alkin, Gunnar attacked me the next day with a slightly stronger army than mine. He could only cast mass slow, and after I cast mass haste, with the speed advantage and a bit of magic, I managed to win the final fight. Thank you for the game.
