Leolopus (red, underworld, Jazebeth) won against Lutii (blue, underworld, Nimus) with a score of 331, starting with Alastor, in the city of Groll, on the second day in the city of Jazebeth. Overall, it was a tough game, considering there was no mentor on the map, and magic and chaos weren't very helpful, but I had to choose the lesser of three evils. I decided to focus on developing Jazebeth. I played on this map generator for the first time, so there were some surprises, but overall, Jazebeth was developed with two archers, imps, and jumpers. With a tent, it wasn't a problem. I fought with almost no major losses. On level 20, I retreated to the city, took Astral, Portal, and spells for dark and higher demons, and started leveling up with them. I made a mistake with the ogres; the ballista was effective up to level 23, and the saddest thing was that there was no vampirism anywhere. On one of the portals, I lost 4 higher demons to higher vampires, about 300 of them. I decided not to risk it anymore, teleported to the city, and went to break the Guardian of the Fortress. Luckily, I had a tunnel. I broke the Guardian of the Fortress, wandered around there, and checked out three spell shops. The vampirism problem persisted. Eventually, I realized I needed to go to my opponent and break their Guardian of the Fortress. There, 225 cave dwellers with spheres were waiting for me in 4 stacks of 56 each. They killed 50 demons, but I managed to revive everything with resurrection, thanks to buying the white book. In general, I broke the Guardian of the Fortress and rejoiced. My opponent's castle was right in front of me; the rest was just a matter of technique. My opponent didn't give up immediately; they returned to their starting city as Nimus and accepted a battle in the field, but the odds were 3 to 1 in my favor. Thanks for the game, and good luck in the future!
