vbn (red, Valeska, Valeska) def invisible (blue, Shakti, Shikti), template 2SM4d(3).

Agreement on the rules: standard.

Quite a poor map, there was a severe shortage of chests and gold,
but I didn't restart because archers and a stable were built nearby,
and Shakti also appeared on the Sunny side and decided to play.

In the 1st week, with the archers, I took the gnome stronghold 5 x 10.
The gnomes were lucky 4-5 times :eek: and the archer growth merged.

In the first, I managed to build a prefecture and riders in the castle.
In the second, 6 levels in the castle.

Shakti, apparently, was doing no worse.

Having gathered 9 champions and 12 minotaurs from the stash, Valeska systematically started eliminating monsters of levels 6-7.

Leveling up - 19.

Having fought off ~40 scorpios (with 8 champions, etc.) for a box,
Valeska didn't take it because it interfered with the Witch Hut.

As a result, the secondary hero learned mysticism in the hut,
took the box and learned all the spells (portal, resurrection, explosion...). I was devastated... :smile35:

Then 6 champions were defeated on ~19 grayj behemoths (20 K experience was gained).

After that, Valeska suggested surrendering,
Shakti asked to wait (probably wanted to completely crush him).

As a result, he attacks the maxed-out Utopia with an army
"11 unicorns, 12 scorpios, 2 angels, 15 minotaurs and 10 wyverns + a lot of rations"
and... loses... :smile07:

Seeing all this (from the observation tower), Valeska breaks into the Dungeon - 140 mana,
in the same turn - breaks into the Castle - stables,
and in the next turn finishes off the dragons in Utopia.

Brutal... A map that is exhausting in terms of battle difficulty,
because there was no money to buy back armies, and the hero had gone very far.
