Posts to the game:
The early game was a bit of a bumpy ride for me - loss of leader at turn 3 cost me a lot of research and early spellcasting (I delayed turning mana node in case I need CP in battle). I put myself together and kept securing my surroundings with what forces I had left and I must say I got back to my feet. Not much happened until mid-late - I tried some sneaky city-snatching with scouts but with little success (Last Stand is just nasty in one-on-one situations). I was hoping to cripple Dread's economy (which was terrifyingly excellent - I have no idea where did he get gold for all these settlers) but didn't do much lasting damage - couldn't raze even a single city 
. The first big scare came around turn 25 when I saw his leader stack - lvl 10 and 12 heroes to my measly 6-8. The second came when he finished Monoculture in turn... Was it 32? The third was when I realized that he's pumping out legions of Flyers. Finally, I decided to surrender when I spied a stack of gold Flyers advancing on my borders - with my economy dwarved by his, I wouldn't be able to hold for long (especially since my throne would be captured next turn by yet another, smaller stack of Flyers 
). All in all, fine game but with not too much interaction. I must say I learned something about empire building (and keeping my goddamn leader alive). 10/10, would lose again 
.

Note that my game language is Polish. The settings are correct (double-checked), but I can switch to english and set the game up again if you don't trust me
