It was a fun game. I found a stash of horses and boots at the starting location, but otherwise, the first week was pretty bleak. On day 117, I grabbed a stash and scouted the Crystal Maze, then gathered a few Hive structures, freed a decently leveled Septienna from prison, and took the spellbook. Since there were no other viable heroes, Septienna became my main hero. Things finally started looking good, but I decided to make things more challenging for myself and completely lost to a stack of 40+ Nagas on day 124. I was about to give up, but the Thieves' Guild showed that my opponent wasn't doing much better. As a result, on day 131, after buying some growth items, I started to gain the upper hand. Septienna grabbed a Pandora's Box for experience, pumped up her intelligence, and with 200+ mana and access to the Crystal Maze, she started dominating. I took the Teapot of the Genie, Hive structures, Pandora's Box, and 3 Archdevils, among other goodies. At the same time, my opponent revealed himself, having a damage dealer and flying units (as it turned out, he had a Blue Wizard's Hat from the middle of the second week). On day 141, he took the main town and left Izru nearby; in terms of army and stats, he was significantly weaker. I attacked, and he conceded. The post-game analysis showed that, as I suspected, my opponent also had a rough time during the second week, but by that point, he had the Blue Wizard's Hat, which probably motivated him to keep going. Thanks for the game!
