"Newcomer - 2018. Winter"

GG, thanks for the game. The roads were a complete disaster; there was only one road leading to the adjacent town, and it ended at a one-way street. It took 3 days to reach the nearest road, with a penalty. Luckily, the compensation was excellent: 3 condors at the resurrection point, 3 at the companion's castle, 2 at the adjacent town, and I also captured a few more units on the map, resulting in a total of 20 angel units. In the middle of the third week, the Grand Mage got stuck, and the teleport spell only worked on the fifth attempt with the library (the very last spell, damn it). The main hero skipped the "Mephit" spell three turns in a row. Fortunately, he managed to gather some knowledge-boosting items instead. Because of this tempo loss, I couldn't seize the Utopia with the Crown of the Sun and 4 all-seeing eyes, and the beating began. Luckily, in one of my Utopias, I found a teapot and 3 all-seeing eyes. The opponent, however, couldn't build any control units at all, only a fly spell in the Grand Mage. As a result, he ramped up to 215 in the treasure hall, and I ambushed him there. Although 100 ducks under the Crown of the Sun with an elixir could have put up a fight, they crumbled in one turn on the battlefield. (1-0 in the series)

Thanks for the game.
I fell for two lizard and gnoll ambushes and one condor ambush, all set up on the first day. But the roads turned out to be just as bad; the adjacent town was only accessible via a roadless path through the desert. From the adjacent town to the companion's castle, it was also a roadless path through all the desert. Despite this, the hero with the expert pathfinding skill managed to move faster, and by the third week, I had captured two companion castles (castle and dungeon) and several villages. Then, I got stuck with the Grand Mage, and in the end, five Grand Mage rebuilds still didn't give me the coveted double damage spell. The fact that the hero had a teleport spell (all the units from the box) helped to some extent, but it was difficult to do everything perfectly in different directions without support units with control spells. But even so, I think I was ahead in terms of raw power (although it showed the opposite - the opponent had 20 angel units, 25 nagakins, and 40 ducks + higher stats), as I had 10 angel units, 80 ducks, 135 lizards + an elixir of life + the Crown of the Sun. The final battle would have been won thanks to the lizards, but I ramped up in a place where I thought the opponent couldn't counter, and I was wrong. Thank you for the game.
