Alex_nv (Necropolis, Naadir) def Igor916 (Warlock, Kifrah) 2-3-1, Sun Template, "To Each Their Own"

Well, what can I say? :) I was lucky in everything! With the hero Naadir, right next to the castle, there was an artifact shop and a guild (Subjugation, Phantom, and Phoenix). My opponent was having a harder time – he wrote that he didn't get anything interesting. I cleared the starting area – defeating 26 Earth Elementals on day 4, I took the abandoned shack (Gold), on the 3rd week – the area with the Mercury Mine, and on the 4th-5th week, the area with the Gold Mine – 2 groves + 2 elemental repositories + 2 witch repositories (almost all maxed out!). I leveled up to 20 and decided to return to the castle for spells. Then Igor appeared with Kifrah! He hung out at the area with the Mercury Mine and then returned to his own castle, apparently. I spent some time in the main town and cleared a path to the silver and emerald mines. After buying artifacts from the 2nd month and troops, I went to the battlefield (it was the end of the 6th week), and Igor appeared again with a decent army led by 5 Black Dragons. He approached me closely. I bought the remaining troops from weeks 2-3-1, except for dragons and specters (I didn't take the week 7 bonus!), and attacked with an army of approximately 700+ alt. skeletons / 140 negre zombies / 20+20 alt. specters / 43 grade vampires / 31 grade liches / 17 heralds!

In the final battle, I used Phoenix + Raise Dead, and Phantom Skeletal once, but it failed because the opponent killed it with Meteor. That's it!
