They retreated, and the game began!
It started well, with 21 lizards at the beginning + a Crest with morale, and I immediately discovered that the only path was blocked by 10-19 level unique creatures (nonsense).
I went around, through mountains, trees, bushes, and dead vegetation in the swamps, collecting all possible goodies and increasing Tazar's stats + Tirax joined in.
In the end, I bypassed this block only by day 122, fortunately, the territory was rich in the necessary resources, and I had enough money. A Hydra was built in the fortress, thank goodness.

I managed to burn the first consul on the map.
Well, never mind: on day 127, the opponent wrote GG.

Thank you for the game!
