"only XL-3"

Bought a color and a Castle for 1500.

The map is large and rich, but there are no hidden spots, so I had to switch to Moandar. On day 116, Moandar has 4 6 4 8 – 200 skeletons + 10 orcs + 2 birds, oil shield, but 0 mana. Against Bron 3 6 without a book, 21 lizards, 50 gnolls, 9 vasas, 3 pitohrs. If I had mana, it would have been an easy win, but as it was, I had to retreat, and I used strategic diplomacy (I took advantage when he was distracted by a fake attack on my Castle :D).
Naturally, I had 0 money, the bears didn't stand up, the opponent regrouped and went about his business. Then I constantly pressured the opponent by keeping a chain of units on his village. There were many battles with fake attacks, and a lot of money was wasted. Only on day 135 did I start building a Grand Mage, but the troops were weak. I had few troops, but I had explored half of the map, including capitals and resource locations. On day 137, Titans + Death Dragons appeared. And the carousel began, conscripts, clues, I captured the Necropolis, converted a lot of resources, and took castles from the opponent. Seeing all this, the opponent surrendered on day 143. There were no logs, and I only had 1 Death Dragon under control.

Thank you for the game.
