Vasja.
Auto-translated
As part of the "Best of the Best" Tournaments.
Vasja (Elves, Wingahel) def immortal (Necros, Vlad and Caspar), "Shield", huge without metro. 3-1-2.
The struggle was serious. I knew that the opponent would attack first because once the elves have enough of their own meat, Necro meat cannot overcome them. Therefore, I didn't push forward too aggressively myself. I found a zone with Dragon Utopia and good resources. I lost half my army at the same time as it was only the beginning of the 3rd week. There was nothing left to clear the remaining artifacts in that zone... And then, right at the end of the week, Caspar marched on my Castle. I had to surrender without an army (bitterly leaving the initiative ring "untouched" there...), as I was very far away and without logistics, and the road home lay through sand and snow. I defended the castle using one growth of druids and horses that hadn't been bought out before. I managed not to put the archers into battle for economy. I held the castle, suffering losses of only 14 horses (Caspar cast berserk on the dragons). A week later, the esteemed opponent's main hero arrived at my castle — they were "high". He attacked with a spider — I saw he was without bracers. I played it tricky once with the main hero and a horde of archers — took out 300 skeles. Vlad used a strong arsenal in battle — berserk, heavenly shield, and vampirism. Thanks to BD, luck, and artificial chaos with rain, I held the castle, preserving, again, almost all archers, 35 druids, 12 logs, and 3 dragons. The esteemed opponent's hero didn't run away, and the Necros surrendered.

P.S.: Stepan, thank you very much for the game! I didn't think you would come back so quickly and be so prepared after the first attack.

Робкий боится заранее, трусливый - в момент опасности, а смелый - после...
