Oxygen (Academy, Blue) draw Lu41k (Preserve, Red), Battle of Underground, 122

Wow, that was intense! :smile07:
And again BOU :) It seems that Group A really loves this map :) And it seems to be a lucky one for them :smile01:

Of course, I had incredible luck at the beginning! Nature faction, first of all! Chests with 1000, 1500 gold :) The heroes leveled up incredibly fast :) On day 1, the Warrior already had 3300! The Rogue leveled up a little slower, but he got exclusively: Scouting and Pathfinding :) As a result, I leveled him up to Grand, without any unnecessary stuff + 2 levels of Nature :) The Bard turned out to be quite strong :) And I also got Giant Strength (although after I dragged the tomb into the Castle - the poor guy was killed in an unequal battle with unicorns)..
The Warrior with Clover, Combat Grandmaster, and melee skills + 2 levels of resistance and a cloak with 30% bonus went to the unicorns to get the resistance expert skill. Because it was impossible to break through with the water and air creatures I had. He got it :) But the Bard had to travel in a wooden carriage to get Giant Strength.. Oh, that's how 1 day was lost.. but then everything went as usual, I broke through the prison guards.. Although the luck with chests stopped.. either artifacts, or 500 gold.. And the desired Life Magic, to get the Paladin, never appeared.. And the dwelling of the Magic Dragons was also not very useful.. Well, never mind, but at least there were no problems with money, a bag of gold :) I freed the Lord, stripped him, and the Bard arrived, I bought a Life Mage.. just in case.. And went to the exit.. Without a Paladin..
I broke through the guards with the Sorcerers.. I hesitated a little, though.. However, I often hesitated in this game.. Then I went to break through the Necropolis.. Without a Paladin, it was harder than it could have been.. But it was still okay.. On day 121, I took the passage and it remained to find Oxygen's army! I ran a little ahead.. and that's where the turns ended.. The Bard, who had been nervously smoking behind, waiting for the outcome, ran up. On day 122, we met Oxygen :) He simply couldn't pass by my lovely Mephala :D But.. he had a formidable weapon with him.. A Sorceress.. although only one, but she was enough.. and most importantly, probably, the Staff of Healing, as it turned out in the battle.. But I also had a trump card: the Ring of Regeneration!
The battle promised to be interesting :) Which, by the way, it was! No one expected such an ending! And although my heroes were superior in level... but still.. the trump cards did their job! The Bard, after resisting, died, managing to snatch a magic mirror somehow :D (Oxygen will tell you about this)) and cast some good spells on the Warrior (Strength, Luck, Blessing), although it didn't last long.. I had already killed his Seer. His Paladin and my Archer (by the way, I also managed to level up archery to expert) and the Sorceress remained :) With the Ring of Regeneration and the Staff of Healing, the battle was unwinnable for both of us.. we hesitated a little and realized that it was pointless to continue playing.. In any case, it would be a difficult, drawn-out game! And one lucky shot could decide everything! I didn't want to give such an interesting game to some lucky player! And we mutually agreed that a draw would be a worthy result!
In the end, I got a lot of pleasure, intriguing and unexpected events, and an even more unexpected outcome)) I would never have thought that a draw was possible! Although Oxygen and I often joked about it :)
I want to express my great gratitude to Oxygen for the game :) :smile02: It was great! :smile12: There are no more words - but there are a lot of emotions and they are all extremely positive! :)
