I used all rests. The layout was unfortunate — the road to the center and to one of the villages was blocked by a stack of 100 harassing Harpies guarding a Pandora's Box.
I had to move along the only remaining road, clearing crypts along the way, and captured a village. I found an external Draconian dwelling by chance on the road behind the Harpies and planned to take it on Day 117. On Day 117, I recruited the Draconians at the Castle, broke through the Harpies, and took the Pandora's Box for 10k experience. Kyrre leveled terribly — after taking the Pandora's Box, I upgraded 4 skills to Expert (Archery, Logistics, Wisdom, Catapult); nothing more useful was even offered. But I got lucky that on Day 121, after taking the Dragon Fly Hive, I finally rolled Earth Magic. On the way to the Cursed Ground, I managed to Expert it and broke through the pack of 30 Hydras on Day 123, losing 2 Draconians, 7 Wyverns, and all the fodder. In the end, I was in the center with 2 Draconians and 5 Wyverns))
But the decisive moment in this game was having a Dimension Door scroll from my starting respawn, which allowed me to bypass inconvenient blocks and replenish troops from Dragon Fly Hives while picking up good stat-boosting artifacts (Charm of Mana, Shield +12, Sword +6), and Kyrre's specialty prevented my opponent from catching up to me in the center.
On Day 131, I broke through the Cursed Ground to one of the neighboring zones and planned to start eating it up.

On Day 132, the opponent surrendered, as his layout was also poor, and he never managed to find Control in the Pandora's Boxes in the center.

Thanks for the game
