I didn't resettle because of Dessa and the 2+2 sword, which I regretted on the 3rd day, but I didn't take the last resettlement. I ran around the mountains on the grass for 5 days, passing through ranged blockades. There, I faced a difficult crypt with 55 caps, with Solmyr. Luckily, he transported mages and galleons. I leveled up the tree. I killed the Inferno companion who had settled in the capital with an archer and a bunch of meat, pit dogs, demons, etc. I had 20 caps left. I had an air elemental for the horde of ice creatures, a strategic well, and a portal to the center nearby. For some reason, I decided to take this elemental with 2 nagas and upgraded gargoyles. I killed 38, and 38 remained. I finished it off in the next turn by moving Dessa forward to the center. There, Ilshar was already rushing with 2 pegasuses; I would have killed him with one. There was also another well on the way. I drove Ilshar away and settled on the well. On my opponent's turn, he attacked, presumably because the castle was very close (it had been there since the first week). Dessa had 90 mana (intelligence + skull helmet), but there were about 30 grand creatures and some meat. There were no horses. I bought off with 2 galleons, a gargoyle, and a mage, giving away all my caps. The nagas had already gone to the ice creatures; I didn't transport the others. I had no money left, a complete full trade, and I somehow managed to transport another 12 gargoyles, 2 nagas, and a couple of mages. I finished off the ice creatures. Solmyr already has advanced air magic with 130 mana, and a chain lightning spell with 270. There was no money left even to buy Dessa back. I'm living off income + 1500, and there's no free stuff at all. Next, I rushed to the teleport and immediately destroyed 3 horsemen with chain lightning on centaurs. I gained 1 spell point and air magic experience. I also have mass haste and chain lightning with 410. I took one ramp at 126 and the second was taken at 127. Then came the surrender. Solmyr rules!
Thank you for the game!
