BISHOP
Auto-translated
A tough game, a great start, I focused on experience, got boots, +1 speed, and 2 Ruins, thanks to which I started getting stars early. I quickly got Oil. I was planning to break some infantry with 30 Cyclops, but, as always, there were Lich Kings... and there was no meat besides the Cyclops, just a few Ruins and 0 gold. That's when things started to go downhill. I had to gather resources from all corners. The chains weren't coming together, and the timer started to put pressure on me. In the end, I decided not to gather more meat and instead hit the town with a +7 shield. The result: -11 Cyclops. I was very lucky that during the exploration around the town, I found 3 stars and +10 to all stats; otherwise, everything would have been lost... In the end, I met my opponent in the center. He had an Astral, and I checked: 170 + mana and 13 spells... No way, I ran around, killed a leveled-up Miriam, and then there was an attack with an explosion and resurrection... No money. The exchange was bad: 20 Cyclops and 2 Angels for my entire army (43 Cyclops, 6 Thunderbirds, 4 Ducks, and some others...). But I managed to hold on thanks to the stats and deflected the blow, but I didn't have time to pick up the loot, and my opponent couldn't do anything about it either. Then I upgraded my Passfight and, using the rough terrain and +KV, I gained the upper hand due to my control and his lack of it. I snatched the Wings right under his nose, sacrificing the rest of my army in an attempt to defeat a level 10 monster from the Dungeon with 5 all stats... but I didn't really lose much. I summoned a home-grown Utopian, and then, in the Treasury, I got a Colossus. The next turn, I took both cities and attacked my opponent with a lot of mana and summoned Earth Elementals. He blew away my 6 Thunderbirds and ran away without an army... Then I completely controlled the central (Flax's) town, gathered a bunch of Pandoras for meat, and Vasya just sat at home, not knowing what to do. Seeing 7 Phoenixes in my army, he surrendered... (2-1) Victory! Thanks for the interesting and intense games! :smile49:
