As part of the "Best of the Best" Tournaments
Vector1 (Haven, Dugal) def. Primus (Sylvan, Ossir) Sun 2-1-4 pts. large without pdzm.
The start wasn't bad; I took Dugal. Successfully fought through the adjacent zone and captured the gold mine early, albeit with some archer losses. Then I moved to the secondary for 3 weeks. After that, I paid my way out and went to the town. I saw Primus's heroes near the neighboring zone. I broke through the entrance there. And Vittorio, who was already level 10 by then, headed in. While Dugal went to the treasury. Only for some reason there wasn't a single artifact there—a shame. However, there was the Dragon Utopia. Dugal ended up being around level 23, with Education, War Machines, and Logistics. During the first encounter of the main heroes in the treasury, Ossir paid his way out. And somewhere around week 5, he surrendered.
Thanks for the game!!!
That's right. I didn't want to drag things out and surrendered. Throughout the whole game, it was a complete wash with the same-faction bonuses. No factories, no elemental towers, no thickets, no treasuries. Moreover, until level 17, I wasn't given either Logistics or Education. So I just ran around like a turtle with wasps and a triple ballista. There was no Regeneration or Resurrection in the guilds. In the treasury, I took a Tome of Dark Magic, but didn't catch it from the mentor. After paying my way out, I went up against a decent mix of 46 High Druids, 60-70 archers, 120 blades, and 40-50 unicorns. But I didn't get lucky here either, after which I just gave up and surrendered. Ossir was level 20. Thanks for the game!
