Fashionable Tournament
Ejett (Mages, Nuara) defeated Leolopus (Humans, Laslo), spider map, somewhere in the middle of the 3rd month.
It started well; I immediately got Nuara, but I somehow developed poorly. I decided to go for Light and mass spells, without war machines or a tent, and constantly suffered losses due to regeneration. I often had to fight archers, and there was nowhere else to go – the second week turned out to be a week of festivals. As a result, I couldn't gather a decent army; I built a Rakshasa and Giants only in the 4th week. I was hoping for Darkness, but first, I needed to build a Guild and a Library. My hopes were justified, and on the 5th level, I got the Subjugation spell, although I got Darkness itself late, and I only managed to fully upgrade it for the final battle. I had already started to break through the Guardian Order (I lost two guards on my side, and on Leolopus's side, there were Titans, so I didn't dare attack them yet), when Laslo, level 28, came to me with a huge army with 20 attack and defense (Nuara was level 23). I decided to defend in the castle because it would be very difficult in the field, and I was also afraid of antimagic. In general, right at the beginning of the battle, I destroyed the catapult. Leolopus didn't expect such audacity from me :D, so he had to buy his way out. Although I received a good amount of money, I suffered heavy losses because I didn't have time to resurrect anyone, and the entire army, except for 3 Rakshasas, was bought for the battle. It's unclear how the game would have turned out (I bought the Book of Darkness and wanted to explore the Treasury a bit), but Leolopus decided to save time and give me the victory, so thank you to him :smile20:
P.S. Demonstration of experimental Light + Darkness mass spell development, breaking through a grove with its help:

It seems pretty good, but there were constant losses...
