Necropolis start on the first week was bad, there were harsh morale checks, and the AI had a Cielka and another mage. I also got cheated in some places. Took the AI's spot, leveled up Galtran and Tanta a bit. In the 3x3 zone, I saw a Tower village behind the mountains and decided that no matter what, I had to build the Mage Guild there; I rushed to take the town with Tanta. But Cerberus blocked the way for a crystal cloak, so I had to turn back. On the second week, I went in cheap, attacking with ~200 skeletons. There happened to be exactly the maximum possible number of Cerberus, and Tanta only had 2 resources. Left about ~100 skeletons there.

Then things improved; Necropolis started working normally, heroes leveled up, and I got an angel. In the middle of the week, the opponent became visible in one of the central 3x3 zones; the way to them was blocked by own Efreet for a Dragon Utopia. By the end of the week, I saw a hero behind the Efreet who looked very much like an Elementalist. Considering that good Grindan and Labeta were glowing in the tavern, and I had +1 speed and oil for the Efreet, I decided I should try to strike. It turned out to be Labeta, and I managed to cut her off.

For some reason, I rushed further. That's where the opponent caught me with Grindan. If I had recruited more skeletons (I only had 250), maybe 400 at least, it's likely I could have won the battle. I fought back a bit, killed some units, and paid them off. A day later, the opponent finished me off. Thanks for the game!
