The beginning promised good development, and that's what happened. Two stacks of archers, a hidden stack of swordsmen, and ogres. In the first week, I cleared two crypts, a minimum-level one, and a near-maximum-level one, where I got Dragon Boots +1. Then, with 100 skeletons, I defended without losses and obtained the Dragon Ring, and with 84 centaurs, I got a Shield +3. Valeska, with stats 4 8 3 3, decided to take on 100 undead, but then the opponent appeared, not where I expected to meet him. Scouting revealed that Shakti had 20 minotaurs, almost 100 upgraded troglodytes. He didn't attack the Castle because I killed his hero, who had a Speed artifact +1, so I moved into the Castle. He retreated to pick up my archers, and at the end of the second week, I launched an attack. Covering the hidden stack with ogres, I attacked. Shakti bypassed me and headed for the Castle. I attacked; the minotaurs and troglodytes didn't have enough speed to reach the ogres. Shakti's poor tactics and the morale boost for the ogres allowed me to kill 20 minotaurs and troglodytes; the enemy retreated. I pursued, took his secondary Necropolis, and found the enemy's capital. He came out and attacked me; he had a Speed artifact +2, and his troops were well-equipped. I had to retreat. I bought troops, took his second secondary town. I saw Shakti coming out, summoning Angels +2, and decided to attack. The battle was bloody; I don't have enough tears to describe it, but I held out, with 17 remaining Crusaders. The enemy wanted to take the secondary town, but it didn't work out. Thanks for the game.
