I confirm.
I enjoyed the game; I didn't restart, I decided to see what happens.
And I came across my own secondary base, which I had to reach through rough terrain. I had to immediately unload the non-native units, otherwise, I would have been crawling towards this secondary base for a month. But another downside is that I suffered too many losses, and as a result, when I approached the secondary base, there was no one left to take it, and basilisks were stationed there.
So, on the first map, I only had 1-6 units with a stronghold.
On the second week, I took 5 crypts and built a castle with hydras and wyverns in the secondary base.
After revealing the enemy's main base (the secondary base was a swamp adjacent to it), I decided not to overthink it and break through the defenses and lure Val to attack me in the castle. I built a chain from the first castle, transferred troops, but I didn't have time to build the castle – I was 100 coins short((((((. In general, I miscalculated my strength, and I paid the price for it. The first castle was full of unredeemed creatures.
Thanks to Valera for the game. I got a lot of enjoyment from the match.
