We used up all our restarts and decided to play it out based on luck. But luck wasn't on my side:( The start was tough; objects that could be exchanged for creatures appeared rarely and were scattered across the map. In the third week, I went to a promising treasure location, found an army, stats, and a scroll of flight, and also built a Town Portal in my main town. Then I took over all the red player's towns, but for some reason, he didn't want to give up, possibly because of the King's Virtue:confused: Next, I went for the Fortress of Blood, but Crag bought his way out, even though he didn't have any towns:confused: Then, for two more days, his weak units tried to find a tavern on the swamp:D But they died in an unequal battle with neutral creatures:D The end of this tedious story:) Thank you for the game.
