Deidra leveled up reasonably well, but slowly - there was no logic.
On week 4 I found a treasure zone; just as I started clearing it, an orc broke through the ГО and time ran out. I took the remaining meat (10 undead who didn't even participate in the finale) out of the city, and after a couple of turns I retook the city with a cockroach (the main orc fled back to his own).
I cleared 2 Temples and the Dragon Utopia, then retreated home, although there were still some decent artifacts lying there, and headed toward the orc.
At the start of month 2, a battle in the opponent's Castle; well, there was a huge advantage in meat and artifacts.
There was also Krag lvl 16; he arrived a bit late, but with Path of War he started gaining levels rapidly. In the end game he wasn't actually useful, but he earned his keep.
Thanks for the game.
