Leolopus (Dungeon, Sinister, Red) lost to dwp (Wynraell, Elves, Blue) on week 7. Overall, the game didn't go as planned, although it was interesting, which is a shame. I was hoping for a mega-final with a super Chaos against a powerful Elf, but it all ended in a loss due to a cunning strategy. From the start, it was Dungeon and Wynraell, but I didn't really want to focus on Wynraell due to education; I had other plans for development. But in the end, once he started developing, by day 14, he was already level 18. I decided to continue developing him, and the others started developing into forest generals (in the end, I managed to create four generals, so there would have been more than 300 units in the final battle). On day 132, he was level 20. Overall, there were mistakes; I lost some units, first 7, then 19. During Magic Week, I forgot about the Daughters of the Sky, and 158 of them wiped out 40 of my blue units. I managed to regenerate, but only lost 19. I planned for a light build with fire resistance and defense in the Battle of the Day (BoD). In education, I took +10% to sworn enemies, and in luck, I wanted resistance. And of course, I needed to find armor and bracers. But in the end, there was a lot of bad luck with development. I only managed to get the light build, and even that was flawed. Without mass acceleration, I got resistance as the last level-up skill. I somehow managed to get mass acceleration from attack, just when I was already surrounded and it was my last chance to take them. And of course, no armor, no bracers, no BoD. I had a lot of money, but I didn't upgrade anything. I built the outpost and the Castle completely. On the second one, and since on day 132, I "suddenly" reached level 20, I started building the fifth tower for some reason, thinking I could break through the Gate of the Worlds (GoW) with un-upgraded troops, but then I looked and changed my mind. In the end, I spent three days near the GoW, waiting for upgrades. On day 141, I attacked, and somehow broke through. The battles were long, so I only attacked the second guard the next day. I thought everything was going well, and I started looking for a place to retreat, but then I realized that all the mana was gone in the treasury, and there was no mana well nearby. And without mana, not only were the battles long due to mana conservation, but I also started losing units. Two, then four more, then I gave up and retreated to the neighboring zone for mana. And lo and behold, Sinister appeared two turns away from the Castle. I quickly went home and upgraded what I had. The generals gathered their troops. Sinister was with the Rogues, so he was clearly going for a cunning attack. But four generals with 7 Dryads and some units repelled him!!! The enemy's main hero then returned again, and again with the Rogues. In the end, there were about 10 monotonous battles with my Cockatrices and Dryads and some Rogue units. I was lucky that Dungeon didn't have a BoD. In the end, my Cockatrices managed to kill about 50 Rogues. Sinister and the city remained. It was clear that there were few Rogues left, but he still took the risk and attacked. The final battle was painfully simple. There were 6 Rogue units. 3 units were killed by the towers. 1 unit was taken out by the Crystal Dragons. 1 unit was shot down by the Blue Stack. And the last unit was cut down by the Druids in invisibility with thorns. That's how it was. Thank you for the game. It's a shame that my opponent didn't have the patience to wait for the mega-final.
