OFB-13

I was supposed to lose this game. The roads are terrible; the path to Necropolis in one direction is very long, where I sent Crag Hack with Air Elementals. In the other direction, the road is blocked by a Guarded Object. You could go around, but it's a very long detour through rough terrain. As a result, I spent the first week stuck on just 1 castle, which almost never happens on a mini-sized map. In the second week, with birds, I killed the computers above, and with Crag Hack, thanks to the tavern, I managed to find some meat and break through the Nomad block. Well, I killed the computers. Then the question was which treasure to go for. And that was also a problem. Where I broke through, I hit a block of 100+ Master Grems, which a noob would never be able to handle. Luckily, I leveled Crag Hack's Earth Magic, went and broke the Conflux. Then I desperately gathered resources and cleared the treasure that Crag Hack had broken into. I could also see that the Grail was near the Conflux castle; I definitely saw the square, but a surprise awaited me. I dug up the Grail only in the 4th week. I dug up about 18 tiles before finding it. It was very off-center. With Crag Hack clearing the treasure, I saw that the opponent headed into the super-treasure between us in the middle of the 3rd week. I smelled trouble. But for some reason, the opponent didn't come to me. This gave me time; I finally scraped together resources and built a Town Portal from the 7th (I think) upgrade. In the second Utopia, there was a Cover of Darkness, so I had full control and an ideal Crag Hack. The opponent took my Rampart, which I wasn't afraid of losing at all. When I dug up the Grail, there was no point in placing it in the Conflux anymore. I saw that I could kill the Tavern computer that the opponent hadn't killed and place it there. So I did. Since I had the Quest Helmet/Skull, the only question left was to gather the Armor of the Damned. Thanks to the entire map, I figured out how to break through to the village near which there were a bunch of Utopias and the last ribs I was missing. By the middle of the 4th week, I had the Armor of the Damned. At the end of the 4th week, I found the Cape of Silence. Then it was a matter of execution. I had heroes with control, I had the Armor of the Damned + the Cape of Silence. But the opponent himself stayed overnight on 211 in the main, where I caught him.

Thank you for the game! I wish you not to let winning matches slip away in the future.
