Final Battle - 12

Both of us got a good start, but considering that I quickly secured Earth and Boots near my castle, I was clearly in a better position. After gathering a decent stack of Ducks and getting a Mini-Utopian with +6 to all stats, I went to the middle of the second easy map to eliminate my opponent, and left Xy on a "Angel + single Marks" rush (I went to grab a couple of Hives). Suddenly, Serena, with a 0-0-4-5 score and an Angel and single Skeletons, showed up and cast Armageddon! Moreover, she had only one miserable Skeleton with resistance! As a result: Xy is gone, the Boots go to my opponent, and my opponent's Capital is intact! Completely demoralized, I split my troops in search of happiness in new areas. It would be completely stupid to attack now. I switched to Aeris, who had gotten Earth. I found a Mini-Utopian - a perfect spot! And shortly after, Xy dug himself out. You can't complain about such skill. There was a moment when Tant could theoretically put up a fight against Xy, who was in a village without support, but most likely, the anti-magic (obtained in the Scholar!) on the Ducks would still have carried me. At one point, Dima exposed most of his troops on a level 0 fort. I started systematically taking castles, GG. Thanks for the game!
