Well, we certainly had a good game! :)
Starting from the very beginning, there were constant skirmishes. The terrain is rough, and the cities are located very close to each other. We both inflicted a lot of losses on each other. We both went into a frenzy; I ended up gathering ducks and leveling up better, but I didn't have any good magic, while Vitalik found +3 to speed (in total) and control with an explosion of 1200. When I saw how Nella was jumping and flying around the map (in speed boots and with a log), I realized that I needed to eliminate her at any cost. I was really hoping to find a red orb or a cloak in the frenzy, or at least upgrade my resistance, but I didn't get lucky, and both heroes died in the Fortress. And then, with an advantage in heroes and cities, Vitalik forced me to surrender.
Thanks for the game!
