The map was quite large, and I was short on money, but I had enough to buy horses at the castle on the first day. The terrain was snowy, but not too difficult, and there was a small entrance to a monolith (at least, that's how it seemed). I found the 5th artifact in a Pandora's Box. My super-helper, Dess, was killed by a super-unit of blue Shaktis. But I had an advantage in terms of army size. I was looking for opportunities to make contact without exchanging units. And as soon as I found the shackles, Gunnar appeared nearby. He attacked, and his stats were similar to mine, but he had more hit points (with an elixir) and significantly more mana. Thanks for the game.
