I took all the rests; the map gen was acceptable — 1 direction is blocked, but the same-town log cabin is under the Castle and the stable is not far from the road
I messed up my own pace by diving blindly with Isra into a dwarf den — it was maxed, but that's trivial; if only for morale in the 1st round with a hit on the liches, so much so that in the 2nd round the skeleton stack couldn't either wait or finish off the halved dwarves to avoid getting smacked
The battle, even if it was sloppy, was still dragging along; if not for a couple of morale procs on full stacks with them running up at the end :mad:
As a result, I finished a couple of days late; what helped was that I was playing two games — the match was essentially won by Septien, who caught Earth early
Alas, literacy — to retrain Animate from Thana — they only promoted her after ГО :(
Into the desert, having picked up an army, Isra bursts in, fighting through with losses to the central Rampart; on the way, she also gets expert Earth
I got a TP scroll from the respawn, which helped a lot — I cleared the map of heroes in 10 turns; by the end, with upgraded Earth, there were about 5 of them!
At night 126, they kill Zek-Torgrim who had expert Air; in the morning I buy him back and spot a cluster of blue shields not far from the Rampart
I take 2 more Dragon Utopia, get full control, resist boots and +2 speed (wings and elixir were already there), and Isra with SP ~25 covers Corkes — Armageddon in the 1st round, ducks survive on both sides, though mine resisted along with the skeletons; in the 2nd round it's my first move and the blue ducks die

гг, thx for the game :)
