Undead are undead :)
In the second week, he broke through to a resource location, in the third week, he took one center at the beginning and another at the end, at the beginning of the 5th week, he reached the Grand Order, and at the end of the 6th week, he reached the opponent's Castle. The Dwarves ventured out to a deserted center once but didn't wander around without logistics.
That's all.

Thank you to my opponent for his patience and the game! He had to wait for me all the time :smile43:

I confirm, that happened. GG took Dwarves, and the problems started right away. The starting conditions were very poor - 4 minor resources, 3 chests, and 2 mills! On turn 1, he opened a portal to an adjacent territory - Demons, on turn 2, he opened a portal to another adjacent territory - Green, and fled there. The Dwarves were a pain, he didn't get Logistics, and although he got machines on the 2nd upgrade, he only got a Ballista at level 24 :eek:. No offensive skills were ever offered, so Offensive Spells passed him by. Besides White magic, he also invested in House, but he was nerfed with Pyromancy, as he was with many other skills. At the next upgrade, he was offered two skills to choose from - Mana Drain and Ice Lord, and at that stage, he needed both like a cow needs a saddle. As a result, the Necromancer, level 28, came to him, he teleported home, bought everything he could, and prepared for defense at level 26, although that's an exaggeration, with 59 mana, even defense was unlikely, and he lost. As for waiting, that's an understatement - 8 minutes was a good time. I understand that it's unlikely to fight with a Necromancer on auto-pilot, but the point is that besides Vlad, at least three other heroes were fighting for the opponent. He mentioned Lucretia, but I also saw an Orc with elements and a Hauff, with that kind of lineup, even 20 minutes might not be enough:( And thank you for the game;)
