Aldegir (blue, Rampart, Kirr, Kirr) --- Nazio (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3) 142.

The trend, however, was against me in this tournament... after a total of 6 or 7 restarts, Valeska comes with 4(!) archers in the tavern, naturally, none of them are Kirr... resulting in a start with 13 archers... in the dungeon, vampires take away another two... on 1-1-4, Valeska escapes from 12 zombies (there were 87 on the way to the barbarian secondary town), when only 8 archers remained, the arrows ran out... no army, no money for a respawn... the choice is either to buy out Valeska or to try to scrape together enough for horses... I chose horses, and for the only time, I got lucky - on 1-2-1, after buying a mule in the tavern, Valeska is there... no money at all... I barely scrape together enough on the market for Valeska + 2 horses, upgrade the horses in the stable and in another dungeon... to the maximum...(of course, I messed up here... I should have taken a phalanx, or at least 6 pikemen, I would have survived)... but instead, I lost again :eek: ... I buy out Valeska again - I scrape together enough for her and another 3 horses... and finally, I start to develop the territory... on 1-3-1, I stand on a strong defensive position... I realize that if I don't take the maximum, I'll send out a scout - a level 2 unit! I bring reinforcements from the castle, and wouldn't you know it, I put the griffins in the wrong place (time was running out - I didn't check :smile33: ) - as a result, 2 hits on the archers... okay, I escape with 29 archers, 2 angels, 20 griffins, and 7 horses, plus pikemen... I move the army around to bypass another (strong) defensive position, and there, on 1-3-4, Valeska is... I escape from there with 6 horses, 29 archers, and 5 angels... I rush back home - in a chain, clearing out goblin stacks and medusa dens, I move the army and wait for the opponent, who doesn't keep me waiting...
The first battle - my morale is boosted, after the wait, the angels destroy almost all of his angels, but then there's a desynchronization... okay, we load the save, try to move the same way - it doesn't work... it's already 4 o'clock - we decide to move as we can... and then my level 1 pikeman gets morale and takes out his stack of 32 applegars, which should now receive a full-force (mass haste) attack from 6 horses and 5 angels without a response... but then there's another crash... another disconnect, now the game is running without morale at all for the whole battle :) ... the opponent runs away... in principle, if I had gone to the treasure now after such an exchange, I would have had a chance, but Kirr catches up, I run away and attack again - in the last battle, Aldegir is wrong - I would have won there thanks to the fast-moving archers ;)... another disconnect... I'm fed up, and it was clear that there were no chances left now... thanks for the game... I tried to make the best of it, but it wasn't meant to be. Good luck in future games!
P.S. I'm giving up on the game against El Magnifico Sonic' in his favor.
