It was a fun match. We initially decided to play a best-of-three, but then, during the match, we decided to play longer because the games were interesting. I'll elaborate on one of them.
I had a very good start, plus a dwelling for Vivs. I decided that this was a plus for the red faction. By the middle of the week, I found dwellings for Gnolls, Flies, and another dwelling for Vivs deep in the resource area, and I took the dungeon, building a portal, which gave me a Viv archer. On day 117, I saw Grinya 1-5-6-10 in the tavern; for some reason, I thought he was a noob from the prison, and he wouldn't be ready for my rush into the zone, where I even had to run through the stables and get some items from the Castle's shop!.. As a result, on day 121, I positioned myself at a decent distance from his secondary town. Alkin had 3-12-1-61 mana, 40 Lizards, 20 Gnolls, 13 Vivs (I didn't buy 4 of them), and 3 level 1 Goblins. Of course, Ilya punished me for my one spell. He attacked with the same amount of mana, slightly more troops, including 4 Ifrits and 13 Basilisks, in addition to the Vivs, and 10 Flies in one stack, but fewer than 30 Lizards. In short, I managed to leave 1 Ifrit, 7 Vivs, 12 Basilisks, and 20 Lizards; I just ran away, and I had 0 gold... Ilya also managed to move Grinya to the fountain, which I accidentally ran past on week 1. What to do? I ran with the remaining 32 mana to attack 9 Black Knights for the treasure with the remaining 4 Vivs and 6 birds from the stronghold, which I built on week 1 in the stronghold, and I intended to run to the treasure, which was right next to the fountain, but on a different road from that stronghold. I barely managed to deal with the horses and wolves with the last bit of mana, and I got 4 Cyclops. On my turn, I saw that Grinya was breaking and apparently also running to that treasure, although 200 mana should have been enough after the fountain for the entire treasure... In general, this mistake probably decided the outcome of the game. In the end, I got Logu on day 123 after 1 Hive for 4 Vivs and level 2 Condors. By day 125, I was already on Ilya's side of the map, in front of the treasure that led to his secondary town on the other side of the map. My stats were already 10-20, with 40 powerful Vivs and 26 Cyclops; thanks to the expert log, I quickly gathered all of this. As a result, on day 126, I took the village with a hero, built the 4th-level guild in the ramp, and before that, I exchanged resources for gold to somehow survive... There was also a very cool battle of scouts on that road, where we fought once on day 121. With a hero from the village, after learning Teleportation and Resurrection, I took the Inferno secondary town. On day 127, after gathering troops and improving the hero, with the last of the Goblins, I reached the main town, where Grinya, apparently not expecting me to make it, was... Ilya, of course, gave me a chance after I made a mistake. Thanks for the match; it was great!
