I rewatched all the saves to figure out what happened. Dave played better. On week 1, he sacrificed Pyre building for tempo, upgraded storms early, and started clearing the treasury at 116. In principle, even despite this, by 122 I was still not far behind, but day by day, the skill gap showed. Two things saved me. 1) The generator didn't place control (on Diamond! o.O), so when Dessa came to kill, he was a couple moves short of reaching my nearest town, buying me time to run and look for something else. 2) On the last turn (135), the opponent was probably already tired, and you could say he made a mistake. A secondary hero, Monere, moved to the front line, captured a town, but didn't kill my three boosted heroes who were maintaining the chain around that town. My next turn — through the chain, both Monere's army and the opponent's main hero, Dessa, were killed.
I was sweating, of course, and had been training mirrors for a long time, but actually it was still lucky.
p.s. And I also goofed in the finale. As soon as I believed the win was real, I misplayed like a noob.
I did rewatch all saves to understand what happened. Dave played better. 1st week he sacrificed Pyre building for tempo, upgraded storms early and started to solve tasks in best treasury. Despite this on 122 i wasnt behind too much, but day by day his skill made difference. I was saved by 2 things.
1) RNG didnt put control on the map, so when Dessa came to kill me he twice didnt get my nearest town for just 1 DD movements. It gave me time to run back and try to find something more. 2) His last turn - 135 - that's for sure - opponent misplayed. Secondary fight hero - Monere - came to the front line, captured my nearest town but didnt kill 3 my heroes (with maximum speed) who were building chain around this town. My next turn - i use this chain to take back 2 towns, kill army on secondary hero, and kill main hero - Dessa.
I was tryharding, and trained mirrors a lot before, but de facto - that was lucky win to be honest.
p.s. Ah. And in final battle i failed like noob. Right after got feeling the win is real - next play was stupid dumb.
Thanks for game and great thanks for respect to time.
