completed without artifacts on a respec focused on stats – I had (+5 all, +4 all, air book, thunder helm). On day 127, I defeated a weakened Greater Sphinx – 40 Black Knights with Guardian Spirits. In the final battle, the cannon and chain attack with -785 damage helped. My stats were 27, 19, 14, 13, and his were 10, 10, 5, 2. I can confidently say I won, but I thought I would be drawn out longer. Thanks. He clearly had a larger army (21 Griffins, 4 Green Dragons, 3 Angels, 32 Elves). I had 2 Hydras and 6 Giants.
Thank you for the game.
Everything was decided by losing a key battle in the max-sized Hive on day 115 (I thought 50+ Gnomes and 4 Unicorns would be enough to hold, but no, only 10 Flies remained...), which led to a significant loss of momentum (about 3 days) and, as a result, to the loss.
Thank you for the game.
