We played without restarts. The path was quite challenging, but I decided to play because of the Moon and stables. My heart sank with every fire wall cast, but things were going well. I calculated everything correctly and didn't forget about morale. But then I messed up with the two-tile dogs and lost the Moon. It's still too early to control such a powerful unit. And after the dogs came a stack of 60 archers (!), and they were breaking through quite well with skilled play.

I was a bit tilted, but then I pulled myself together. There were so many paths, it was hard to choose, but I was doing well in terms of resources and army (stables built, 2 hidden spots for archers) + artifacts for mana points. I made a controversial decision to rush the green Guardian through a one-way path on the opposite intersection. We all jumped there together. The strategy worked: I managed to catch the opponent at his intersection before he had anything substantial there.

Thanks for the game!
