After both of our main heroes died, we should have agreed to a draw, but I calculated that my position was better because I still had a couple of good heroes and some troops, plus I had a money advantage, so I decided to decline. As a result, my opponent resurrected my Solmyr, and even though I still had a chance to win, I failed to finish off Solmyr on the Archmage level when he had only 1 HP :mad:. After that, I ran out of troops, and Tiraex was resurrected on his side.

Good start, I defended against 20 vampires in the first round and upgraded them to level 121 at the computer-controlled castle. On level 122, I went to what seemed like a super treasure, but it wasn't great, and there weren't enough guardians to protect the vampires. Luckily, I found a scroll of teleportation, and later I got a Utopia artifact with a +5 bonus. Then there was a long period of skirmishes, and Solmyr was exposed in my line of sight. There wasn't much magic available, but Tiraex and the mage himself turned out to be quite good. After a trade that resulted in a 0-0 score, in which I could have still won if I had flown in with angels on the last turn and attacked the Vivis, I offered a draw, but Reddi refused. Then karma struck; I spent about 60,000 gold in total on heroes, and three days later, Solmyr was resurrected. After that, I flew to his main castle every day, engaging in exhausting battles and paying ransom (I think I did that about 5 times). In the end, I had a little more of an army, and Reddi flew away to avoid being exposed. I managed to take his main castle and, on the last few turns, the castle with the Archmages, but I only had enough money for one. But it turned out that he also managed to win on the last hit against a bunch of Rampart troops. Thanks for the game!
