I rested for 1 day, and my opponent for 2 days. We both secured some good roads, a stable along the way, a consulate on the starting location, and easy-to-capture treasuries along the roads. However, things got tougher later on – I had to build Ivor as my main hero because there was nothing better available. I had no hidden locations, and I could only capture one village. There didn't seem to be any further development possible. I had to scrape together all my resources to build Angels by day 117. My opponent was doing better – he was already taking out the computer player and steadily gaining an advantage in terms of cities. The only positive thing was the large number of scouting reports, which helped me navigate the map.
With the Angels, things became more interesting. At the beginning of the week, I captured the computer player's main city and found some oil there, and Ivor had just finished researching Earth Magic. Unfortunately, the consulate on his starting location turned out to be a level 1 building. Many directions opened up in different directions, but the tavern showed that my army's strength was lower, and I was still behind in terms of cities. Also, the green computer player was a major nuisance – he captured several cities and decimated my heroes. I didn't have the time or desire to deal with him.
Then, on day 124, I found a nearby path to my opponent's main city, which was completely unguarded! I saw that his army was far away (the scouting reports really helped), and I decided to try a trick: I positioned Ivor on a fast-moving path right next to the entrance to his main city. I thought I could reach the main city on the next turn. But out of nowhere, Luna appeared (as it turned out, she had a Dimension Door spell and intercepted me on that turn). And I didn't even have enough money to bribe her with my "brilliant" plan. I had to give up the Angel.
I rushed away, moving my entire army towards the main city, where Ivor quickly captured the native consulate. It turned out to be a level 2 building. My opponent chased after me with Luna. But he didn't commit to attacking with 4 Angels. On day 126, I met him in the field near my main city. A wave of death, learned from the Septenary, allowed me to eliminate all the weaker units, and the Angels took down the dragon in one hit. As a result, my opponent was left without his main hero, gave me the artifact, and the amulets in his inventory combined into a powerful item.
He couldn't find Luna, and he surrendered. Thank you for the interesting game.
