We took all the resources as usual, got 3 stacks, good start, but roads were slow and I walked to my native secondary for a week, a colossal loss of tempo.
111-117 I capture resources and gold, revealed my move to my native secondary, 1-3, 5-6 in the Citadel...
121-127 native secondary, I transfer troops to a scout, he takes max Dwarf Cottage, I lose 52 Gnolls and 5 Lizardmen. I transfer troops to Wystan, he goes to the Conflux, 1-3, 6 in the Citadel in the secondary, Castle and 1,000 in the capital...
131-137 secondary Conflux, I break into my native secondary, take the mini beehive, go to the treasure zone...
141-212 I run around the entire treasure zone, take beehives, level Wystan — expert Logistics, Earth, Tactics...
213-227 second treasure zone, on the way I take 2 artifacts from the Cursed Armor, hoping to collect the whole artifact set, there was 1 more on my territory...
A couple of beehives in the treasure zone, Cloak of the Undead King, I find an exit from the treasure zone to the Barbarian lands and right next to the exit near the metro lies the Shield!!!!!!!!!!!!
I take it, break into the capital, go for the artifact and then Pavel comes out and goes the wrong way...
I collect the armor and return to the capital, but Pavel takes my capital via the chain (masterfully). My scout breaks the chain, Wystan goes to the well and misses one tile to replenish mana. Pavel brings in 2 more Dragons, but I have Phoenixes and I have the first turn...
Because of Magic Resistance, the armor doesn't work fully, but after a couple of turns and casting magic, we realize I have the upper hand and Pavel concedes victory. Thanks for the game, I really appreciate your actions Pavel and sorry if something's not right.....
