Final Battle - 13

I remembered the good old times in Heroes, I wanted to give up about 4 times and almost threw up that many times :D
Thanks for the game!
2-1

I had one more restart left, but I started playing and immediately saw 2 Confluxes near my main. Then I found another one. The roads turned out to be long, and when I reached the green Castle, Reddy immediately killed it. Galtran was there. Well, I turned around, ran along the side roads to the pink Castle. I found an Armageddon's Blade, had a Conflux town, bought Gundula's Fire, and under the Armageddon's Blade, I took a level 2 creature with 125 attack. Then I gathered the rest of the Confluxes (a total of 5), and with 12 Angels, I entered Utopia. There, I got a Water book, a Fire book, and a +12 shield. I cursed, and with Gundula, I took Cyclops and other creatures on the fly for resources, and rebuilt my main town. When I realized that it would be difficult, I decided to take a risky move and take the opponent's Necropolis, just to annoy him, and there I found a Dungeon that he had obviously just rebuilt. This changed my plans; I took 2 Utopias on the next turn with Gundula, which had been ready for such moves for a long time, leveled up the Controllers, and started gathering the map. The opponent showed 1000 skeletons, and I realized that the Necropolis was doing well. After that, we didn't conflict until week 4. In week 4, I started annoying him again, taking his towns, and he took them back. I had 2 full-control towns, and he only had 2. Everything was leading to the fact that I would eventually leave him with 1-2 towns, but in the turn when everything was very critical, I left the support creatures in a town that the opponent was able to reach. After this loss, I could still have survived if I hadn't stayed overnight in my main town (because I had dug up Grindan). But the opponent attacked, and I didn't have a Knowledge Shrine, only a Recanter. Unfortunately, a bolt passed through the Recanter, dealing 1000 damage.
The reveal showed that before the AOTD (which I actually had), the Knowledge Shrine was only in one Utopia, which neither I nor the opponent would have quickly found.

Thanks for the game!
