We played on 200%. The respawn gave a terribly small but convenient spot — right under the castle: a stable, a Dragon Utopia, and an elven dwelling. On the first map, nothing interesting — a couple of crypts, artifacts, and land for Ivor. On the second, I break through portals and underground passages to the opponent, and with great luck, on day 126, I capture an almost fully built Rampart castle. I scout the Griffin Conservatory with a level 2 hero, and on day 133, without Earth Magic, but with horses, I take it. Then a Pandora's Box with Fire Magic (by that time I already had Expert Wisdom) and a Dragon Fly Hive with 6 stacks. By the 4th, I had accumulated quite a supply of horse growth and Dendroid Soldiers; I decide to return to the main castle to the Dragon Utopia, grabbing a few caches along the way (money for growth) and a level 3 Conservatory. On day 144, having gathered all the growth, I take a medium Dragon Utopia — a black orb drops, a helmet +10-2 knowledge, feathers +15% to shooting, and that's about it — underwhelming. Next, I scout another Dragon Utopia with a level 6 hero and take it on day 212 — that one was more interesting: a level 5 hat dropped, a sword +5 to everything, a shield +12-3 defense, boots +2, and a ton of gold) Just in time for the next turn, I get level 5 Magic and fly to the highlighted opponent, grabbing another Dragon Utopia along the way. I capture his castle, and then the chase begins — only on day 224 I catch Valya near the library))) Thanks for the game)
