Hero_of_heroes(red, Dwarves, Erling) defeated KillAndAction(blue, Necropolis, Lucretia) 2-3-5
From the very beginning, I decided to focus on Chaos magic, and the game itself confirmed this decision: I started with Inga and Erling, and my starting artifact was the Phoenix Cloak, plus I found Chaos magic in the Witch Hut. :)
I rarely play as Dwarves, so I don't have a good idea of how to progress with them, and I also didn't get Logistics, so I leveled up very slowly. However, I found an experience bonus in a resource town, which helped me go from level 20 to level 27 in weeks 6 and 7. In the center, I found a shop with spells, but since I already had Armageddon at home, I didn't even look inside. On the first day of week 7, I teleported to a town to go through the Gate of the Elements. I was a little scared to go straight to the guard, so I tricked it with a few Chain Lightning spells. I scouted the next guard with Inga, because going into the unknown was even scarier than attacking the first guard. :) There was nothing dangerous there, and I easily defeated it. I leveled up to 27 on this guard, and finally got the Lucky Charm artifact. :)
I collected a few upgrade items and went to the enemy town. I decided to buy the entire army, but I was a little short on money. After passing the turn, I saw the enemy's main hero. I thought it was over, because I didn't have enough money to bribe him. My hero only had Dwarves, Swordsmen, and Priests, while the opponent had a full army and was level 30 with a lot of artifacts. But what initially seemed like a hopeless situation turned out to be hopeless for the opponent, because he didn't have defense against Armageddon.
Here's the replay; it might be too intense for some:)
