I cleared 4 external dwellings of firebirds, though one of them was behind 50+ demons along with a Pandora's Box and 3 stacks of resources, so I only took it on my 2nd try. Also got 2 level 2 consulates, after taking which, I decided to rush on 124 through the opponent's secondary hero along a roadless path, since the opponent still had a Tazar and 3 potential secondary heroes—giving him time to hoard resources and choose which treasure zone to start from was definitely not an option. It turned out well.
Thanks for the game.

With a live restart, I got 2 Necropolis and a Moneer, good road placement, but the respawn itself was small and depressing, decided to play it and regretted it—there was almost no gold, had to play through external dwellings of grand elves and pegasi, there was nowhere to level the hero! So the level 3 consulate was taken when the opponent had already seized all the castles, with a loss of all spell power and mana, since Earth Magic never reached Expert; then I broke through via the outskirts on his respawn and reached an untouched secondary hero of Citadel with a consulate, since waiting for mana would have taken 2 turns (after rebuilding the tavern to hire the Moneer) I charged in without mana, and of course the level 4 showing morale effects :smile51:, meanwhile the opponent was already taking a Dragon Utopia(1) with KZ, so there were few outs anyway, thanks for the game.
