Blacpoint (blue, Rampart, Kuree) def Gomunguls (red, Castle, Valeska) 143 2sm4d(3)
After all the resource refreshers for my opponent and one for me, the game began. The path to the opponent's territory was through difficult terrain, and 20-49 archmages were still blocking the way. So, I took my secondary Stronghold army, ran back and forth, and found 2 outposts. I had plenty of gold, but crystals and gems were scarce, so I had to trade at two markets. As a result, I built stables in my Stronghold and a Stronghold with human troops. On day 121, I encountered a specialist in gnomes((((. I barely managed to buy anything, and on day 123, I attempted to capture a tier 3 outpost without a growth stack. I had few centaurs, only 46. First, I attacked with a zealot, cast a couple of lightning spells on the lower-left stack, and retreated. Then, I sent Kuree with only 5 units: 40 centaurs, 17 grand griffins, and 6 dryads. Magic power was 1, mana for 4 blessings, and no slow. The centaurs were quickly defeated, and we reached the elves. When there were 3 unique units and 15 elves left, blocked by two stacks of 17 griffins each, I thought I was going to lose, but then the unique units blinded the first stack and then the second very successfully. I emerged with 7 grand griffins, 1 horse, and 3 angels)). I didn't go to my opponent. Instead, I went to the snow area and captured two tier 1 outposts. Then came tactical battles, and my secondary Stronghold army changed hands many times. In the end, when I had 5 horses, 10 pegasi, 4 dryads, and 1 unpurchased weekly growth in my main city, and I had horses in my secondary city, plus I captured another outpost in the snow, my opponent only had 1-2 tier 1 units growing in his two secondary cities. On the next turn, I would have taken his capital, as he had nothing to defend it with, and the opponent surrendered.
Thank you for the game.
