Primus (Gnomes, Ibba) loses to KillAndAction (Orcs, Argat) 2-2-4 Labyrinth (very large, no underground)
The game turned out unexpectedly short-lived, despite the very confusing template layout...
Argat was born and off to the races... immediately grabbed the needed bases: attack and machines.
Honestly, I was afraid of those gnomes: with their potential for all sorts of leveling...
By the start of the 3rd week, I built the capital, creatures of levels 1-5.
Also cleared 6 or 7 respawns, so to speak, I rushed and pushed as fast as possible everywhere.
As a result, on the 3rd week I luckily hit a small treasury, grabbed all sorts of goodies and 5 level-ups...
On the fourth, we clashed with the respected opponent...
The 1st battle was on the 4th week and was tough in terms of outcome: the trade-off in troops was very uneven for the opponent's main hero.
Having 7 upgraded goblins, 77 centaurs, 3 shamans, 6 green elves, and with artillery support, I managed to send
to the other world 96 alt warriors (out of 120 total), 86 upgraded throwers, 30 upgraded bears, and 8 jarls.
After buying my hero back, I decided to raise some more stats before the decisive battle, since at level 20 I got Education. This fact helped a lot: by leveling up to level 22 in 6-7 days, I got a solid stat boost. +6 to attack, +3 to
defense, and +2 to knowledge.
While the opponent was running around the adjacent zones I had partially pillaged, I gathered an army on the 6th week (as much gold as I had), ran through the portal to the enemy's town. Everything happened in the opponent's town.
Argat level 22:
355 upgraded - 123 upgraded - 105 upgraded - 39 upgraded - 26 - 0 - 0
Ibba level 19:
205 upgraded - 153 alt - 0 - 0 - 28 alt - 0 - 0 - 0.
The respected opponent fought very strongly and skillfully.
After 3 turns, I lost the ballista and catapult: thanks to Ibba. If not for a tiny crack in the wall, things would have been bad. I made several mistakes: instead of Horde's Fury, I just dealt direct damage with the hero. ((
Leveling and stats with artifacts 26-10-7-9:
3 racial - Blood Memory
3 Education
3 Logistics - Pathfinding
3 Machines - Machine Gun - Tent
3 Attack - Archery - Fire Arrows - Tactics.

That's it, folks!
Thanks for the game!
