"FAVORITES IN BATTLE - III"

Dwells 2,5,6 played without loads, hero leveling was quite difficult as bases were given one by one as they filled up; in the 2nd week I popped out into MT, unfortunately there was no exit to the treasure zone from it, ran around and leveled up to level 20, crashed into the Castle, but without magic. In the 3rd, I ran to look for the treasure zone, ran in a circle, but only found it via the penultimate portal at the start of the 4th; during the 4th week I cleared the treasure zone, 2 min Dragon Utopia and 2 Temple (1 max), collected all artifacts I saw, not a single artifact for initiative except dragon ones and overall very mediocre artifacts, but leveled up quite well. When I was finishing the circle around the treasure zone and was near the mentor, the opponent popped out; I was on the move with a full stack of Cave Lords, approached him closer to transfer the army on the next turn, but Argat popped out of a portal, revealed me, and Ossir attacked with a full army. Here I should have run away after 1 ATB, which would have saved all my Lords and killed them properly, but for some reason I decided to fight without having either Plague or Word; in the end, we traded more or less evenly with a slight advantage for the elf: I lost Seductresses and Lords without growth, he lost all archers and 3 dragons, a few dancers, half the horses. He says he had chances to win, but honestly, I didn't notice that moment; I ran away, bought back my army and went to fight him in a fair battle. The opponent ran around for another 2 days in an almost empty treasure zone and surrendered, or maybe he got damaged in the last fight because of the mana reduction ring, I don't know. Thanks for the game.
