Auto-translated
The game was played as part of the ongoing "From Many, One" clan championship.
Neoandy (red, Tower, Nella, Nella) def Nagan-4 (blue, Fortress, Bron, Alkin),
An incorrect assessment of the position at the start led to an inevitable collapse at the end. Started from the bottom-left corner, the respawn was more than average, with no dwellings. I thought about taking a restart on 113, but then I saw that my respawn was surrounded by barbarian lands and there was a passage there. A tempting idea appeared — to gather a large secondary town respawn, then combine an army of Gorgons, Wyverns, Birds, and Bears, fortunately the units of both castles are cheap. I break through the guard, take the Stronghold, and discover a generator bug — I ended up in a bag; mines, resources — it's all there, but there's no passage there, only Fly is needed to fly over the cliffs. I have to split my army and transfer it back to the capital, a week is lost. Wyverns and Gorgons are in the citadel.
On week 2, I go into the teleport, and it's great there — a huge respawn of Tower secondary towns, from top to bottom, almost a third of the map. All heroes run there, money is no longer a problem. I discover a Dragon Utopia and a passage to the treasure zone. True, the snow penalty is quite heavy for a swamp army.
Week 3, I go into the treasure zone, the hives are taken fairly easily, I gather 40 Wyverns and 4 Angels. I see a Dragon Utopia and… a book of Air lying alone in the treasure zone behind a group of Angels. But at the end of the week, Nella bursts onto the snow, taking advantage of the fact that this land is native for her troops, and makes a breakthrough to the Dragon Utopia.
On 141, she takes it, gets the maximum loot (Sword +12 to Attack, Shield +4 to everything, Book of Fire), splits her army, and drags it away along a chain. I take my Dragon Utopia — on the contrary, the minimum loot is useless (only a Cloak +2 to SP and Mana), then I take the Book of Air from behind the Angels. At this time, red takes another good Dragon Utopia already on his own respawn, getting Wings and a Hat +6 to all stats, after which the gap in stats between the heroes became simply indecent.
Unfortunately, Alkin had mana problems, so he couldn't effectively use Dimension Door, as a result of which he was intercepted by Nella on 146.
Nella (31, 14, 16, — 154 mana) — 2 Angels, 5 Giants, 35 Wyverns, 24 Steel Golems, 44 Stone Gargoyles, 24 Mages, and 280 Gremlins.
Alkin (9, 16, 10, — no mana) — 4 Angels, 38 Wyverns, 14 Gorgons, 17 Basilisks, a few Serpents. The large difference in stats and Alkin's lack of mana would have turned the fight into a slaughter. I surrender.
I buy back in Fortress, take the red capital at the start of week 5. I want to also take the neutral Stronghold, but Nella recovered Boots of Speed, and with Expert Logistics and Wings, she controlled the map. Around 215, she caught Alkin: he surrendered without a fight, no mana, and too big a difference in stats.
If I hadn't lost the week in the bag, maybe I could have put up a fight, but as it was — it turned out to be hopeless.
Thanks for the game.
