It's started :)
Thoughts before the start:

Neoandy
thinking about what to do against Efreet removing retaliation and Devils hitting Archdevils, and Archdevils + on the move Devils might blind Archdevils
to counter this - cast Blindness on Dragons on the fly - but there might be resist. Thinking of baiting him into Berserk - but I don't know his skill level; once
he realizes that with Berserk he can only go in with Archdevils and Devils, it's unlikely Berserk is predicted from my side, he'll probably just block gaps there instead, on the other hand, CD has 300 health

Volodymyr
well, from your side everything looks good, anything could happen

Neoandy
against 200 for Archdevils, after my Archdevils go in, his Efreet follow who are immune, that's a minus to Berserk on the move CD can be placed there, you can catch them well in the center. By scouting the Castle I see the troops; Andres seems unaware that goats, Efreet and Devils were taken from Inferno, champs + Crusaders + Archdevils saving money just like I am for Griffins)

Volodymyr
maybe he's not aware, he's never played SoD, which is definitely a big plus for you

Neoandy
taking advantage of being on the right - with all three and unable to focus the edge stacks, the tent and wagon get in the way, that's a plus
already 116 and I'm choosing artifacts
thinking - Berserk or Melee, leaning towards Melee - Berserk has resist, + 1 non-full pack likely in the center + Efreet and minus my secondary skills in the second round, he could more than compensate for all that

Andres
We are still buying up, I decided to take a partial stack of Griffins to remove retaliation, otherwise Crusaders and goats, horses, Efreet and 7th level

Neoandy
I'll go with Melee and hit Devils with Dragons; generally, I don't know how I'll do it yet, everything will depend on his moves but I expect waits and a breakthrough on the move of Efreet

Volodymyr
ok. we'll see, good luck :)

Andres
considering Berserk with Sphere or Water
that's it, took Offense, Defense, Water, straightforward, a doubtful plan of course

Neoandy
117
I'm in the port
good that I swapped Archdevils and Dragons, Efreet can't reach the Archdevils, but I guessed wrong with cats - placed them opposite champs
by the way, Berserk as predicted would have fit well in the center, although Crusaders by ballista, goats by Griffins, and champs into the tent, but even then - everything is in place

Volodymyr
uh-huh, but 4 stacks didn't move

Neoandy
Agreed )
turn of his champs, the spear is itching to hit cats without waiting, wait it is)
coming off wait, I'm blocking focus on Dragons and Archdevils, I already see my mistake in the placement of Griffins and horses

Volodymyr
with retaliation removal?

Neoandy
won't work to cover cats from champs with Griffins either, no, retaliation is actually fine, it's in the 2nd round, in the first there's no one, although everything is. Stop, the top ones are removed from wait first, as they move, so that's a minus here
now will be a "papal" move with champs(screen 2)

Volodymyr
why did they go there?

Neoandy
to block the run-up of his champs

Volodymyr
covering cats?

Neoandy
yes

Andres
Opponent got lucky, from the very first move cats paralyzed a Devil(screen 3), simply - 1 Devil, half GG
immediate questions with magic, not clear what to do now, I need to cast, otherwise Blindness on Archdevils is threatening, but it's really tough after that blindness, a "papal" blind

Volodymyr
well, you have to fight to the end

Neoandy
!
paralysis on Devils! well, he blocked them with champs, now initiative is mine, unless resist kicks in
healed up, now if only Blindness on Archdevils...
got it
now a choice, raise champs or blast his
better to raise Crusaders
killed champs

Andres
initially I think he's better off, but blind is GG
I will fight, Archdevils pass in round 1, he blinded them

Volodymyr
well good, they'll be safer :)

Neoandy
moving Dragons away without hitting
set up such a defense for Archdevils and didn't intend to remove retaliation from Griffins))) (screen 5)
now there will be a slaughter
hm, he didn't heal Archdevils.... means we'll finish Devils with hatred. He blinded my Minotaurs instead of healing Archdevils, profitable trade (screen 6)

Andres
it's tough here, no horse stack, Archdevils are blind, haven't hit for 2 rounds already

Neoandy
cats are killing it, Efreet in paralysis from retaliation of 4 cats) (screen 7)

Neoandy
healed up
now Andres made a mistake if you ask me, he hit Crusaders with Archdevils (screen 8)
tough decision now, want to resurrect and it'll be painful later

They are silent, both of them, must be hot in there :)

New screens coming :)

Neoandy
now I'm going to hit Archdevils, Minotaurs against Bless. He wanted to keep champs (left with 8 hits) so that Griffins and Crusaders could hit Archdevils. Although, it's probably better to hit Crusaders with Minotaurs here, they haven't moved yet, there are options, maybe Bless or maybe Blindness on Crusaders
Well, it's becoming clear now, Minotaurs will decide, although there are still 14 Efreet, his Archdevil has 2 health, mine have full 9.
He should have used Archdevils to buff 5 Devils and they would have moved, hit Archdevils with hatred and then who knows, but it would be 5 Devils against 5 CD, and mine in response against Archdevils, just like his Devils, even more.
I took out the goats well with Minotaurs and now Crusaders, Minotaurs are god-tier for the dungeon

Neoandy
pointed my sword at his Archdevils and almost resurrected 2 Minotaurs...(screen 11)
would be better if it resurrected from the right :)

The end of the battle can be wonderfully watched via screens. Huge thanks to Andryukha!
Thanks to both opponents for a good battle, for your attention and comments :)
