It was a very fun start; I had 7 heroes right away, even though I spent about 4k. True, only 2 were Necromancers – Claudius and Nagash. But they both reached Expert Necromancer by day 3. In the first week, I got a Bone Dragon; I also managed to gather enough resources to build it in my Castle during the first week. In the second week, I explored and realized that I was a bit behind (I hadn't left the starting area until the first week). One path was a one-way route, and the other was a minor treasure with nothing special. As a result, I returned to the starting area and took the Utopia 3-week quest on day 127. It didn't give me anything particularly useful (a Book of Water, a Sentinel Shield, and an Orb of Vulnerability). I didn't find another Utopia quest for the rest of the game. In the third week, I made contact with my opponent, and we fought for a long time over an Inferno town. In the end, I defended it, and he didn't attack it again. After that, we both explored, killing creatures, and my opponent did the same. It took a while before I could gain control, but on the 4th week, near the end, I finally got the Dungeon. After that, my opponent stayed in a town near one of his Castles. I teleported there at the end of my turn and waited for him to attack. On day 212, I got a Cloak of Resistance >2. As it turned out, that was the right decision. In the final battle, he attacked me. First, my Angels and Bone Dragons died, but he lost everything except his Ducks. In the end, it came down to a duel to see who could kill who faster with lightning spells. The Skeletons turned out to be more resilient. There was a mistake, though: instead of teleporting back to his Castle, my opponent cast Bless and attacked the Skeletons. Thanks to the time I gained, the advantage shifted to the Skeletons.

Thanks for the game!
