Qwerty (blue, knight, knight) def yasnikov (purple, host, necromancer, barbarian) Slugfest, 124.
...
It was around turn 122. He had a dragon left, a few liches, and some vampires. And probably something else, but I don't know the details. Then I got a Pina Colada and poured myself a shot. My opponent, however, couldn't get a boost.
...
But on the next turn, my opponent played too aggressively. He moved his main hero up, and followed him with another hero. As a result, the green AI attacked and wiped out both heroes.
I continued to advance and stormed the Castle with my last hero on turn 124. The numerical advantage in troops allowed me to finish the game, despite my opponent's heroic resistance.
Thanks for the game!

Confirmed.
This time, the game wasn't decided by a single battle, as it was last time, but by careful strategic maneuvering.
I didn't start very well. I had no way to reinforce my heroes (it's a waste to use liches, and the other troops are slow). In the Castle, I bought a sorcerer and a necromancer, then a barbarian came along. On the second day, I didn't make it to either the scouting location or the gold mine, and the barbarian didn't venture out much. When the turn ended, both of my scouts died heroically:( I had no money, and only one barbarian hero left. I had to send him to capture the mines. Then I bought another scout, who broke through to the scouting location.
Well, after that, Qwerty described everything pretty accurately.
The only thing that surprised me was that the barbarian, after defeating the warlock, remained with a full (or almost full) army :confused:, which ultimately determined my fate.
I defeated the sorcerer with relatively small losses (1 dragon, one vampire, and about 10 liches), considering that the battle was in the field.
The liches I built on turn 117 didn't help me, because I was short on money.
But the main mistake, as Qwerty said, was that I didn't wait for the barbarian in the Castle, but went to meet him. I thought that, after being beaten up by the warlock, he would be scared of me and run towards his opponent. That's why I brought the scout along to show him the way:) But the jerk wasn't scared, and he even killed both of my heroes, leaving me without an army and without money.
After that, everything was clear - a loss without a chance. However, even if I had waited for the barbarian in the Castle and defeated him, the losses would have been the same. And my opponent, with his fully upgraded and undamaged army, would have finished me off.
In general, it wasn't my day, but we'll fight again!
Thanks for the game.
