He captured 4 Castles (took 3, one was already his), grabbed 2 Dendroid lairs in the first week, and 2 Centaur lairs as well. There were only 2 exits, and one was blocked by 50+ upgraded Lizardmen. I had to play in one direction and then spread out. I reached his treasure castle, got ambushed by a powerful Necromancer, and then attacked his main hero, who had 7 Angels, a dozen Archers, over a hundred Skeletons, over a dozen Ducks, and about 8 Swordsmen, all with combat stats around 13/4. My army was weaker; I had fewer than 5 Angels (2 were level 1), about 20 Dendroids, 8 Ducks, a pack of Centaurs, and some Gnomes + about a dozen Elves. As a result, the opponent unexpectedly stood in defense and occasionally sent Angels against me. Thanks to this, I managed to eliminate all his Angels and Ducks, as well as the Swordsmen, and then retreat. The opponent didn't pursue and started running around the zones with a nearly empty army. During these one and a half weeks, I built 4 Guilds and got hit by a Meteor Shower. I ran around the upgrade locations and made Ivora a Mage with 7 Spell Power. The Meteor Shower dealt 210 damage, which killed an Angel. He had a growth rate of 2 Angels per week, which no longer scared me. But I only had 40 mana, so I needed to level up. As a result, he captured all the Castles and attacked my main hero in a Castle – the Meteor Shower and Ivora's magic left him no chance, and he had to pay me off. This gave me gold for buying units. I went to reclaim all the cities and then captured the Mage Crown for +4 Knowledge. I already had 90 mana. On the way to his secondary Castle, I increased my Knowledge to 10. He tried to retake the secondary Castle with an Angel and Zombies, but he ran into a strong unit that almost killed his Angel, and he had to pay me off again (he gave me gold to replenish my army for the second time). He had to send his main hero to retake that secondary Castle. I replenish my army and buy as many units as possible. I capture the secondary Castle and, replenishing my mana towards the end of the week, go to capture his main Castle for the Angel growth. I find the Castle on the 6th day, decide to get an upgrade for +1 Spell Power, and with a hundred mana, I kill the opponent with Meteor Showers, Water Bolt, and regular arrows. The remaining units are finished off by Unicorns. He stood in defense for the third time with 18 attack and 7 defense. This allowed me to easily decide the outcome of the battle again. Thank you for the game. It was interesting. But according to the situation, I should have lost. He had Angels and mega stats from the first week, and about 5 Cons.
