Smerti_Po (blue, elves, Ossir level 30 + Gilraen level 23) won against Bolivar (red, orcs, Tilshek level 29 + a bunch of cool roaches) 2-4-1. The start was rough. Ossir, without any artifacts or resurrection, was slowly losing archers, and Gilraen lost over 100 dancers in one go. But after Ossir reached level 20, he retreated home for resurrection, and after that, everything went smoothly. He defeated everyone until his mana ran out, and luckily, there were plenty of mana wells on the map. However, he wasn't lucky with artifacts. He didn't find a single artifact that boosted initiative. From the sets, he only collected the Elf's Dream, which, to be fair, helped a lot in the final against the Staff of Power. However, his opponent pressured him with high-level roaches, which gave him complete control of the map. But I had my secondary town from week 6. I waited for the end of the game because the Gate of the Underworld was one step away from my city. And since it was guarded by a horde of green dragons, I didn't even think about an early rush. Finally, after checking all my treasures and taking a quick peek at his, I decided to pay him a visit. On his side, the Gate of the Underworld was further from the city, but still less than a day's journey. I didn't expect Tilshek to be nearby, and I didn't have time, so I foolishly lost all my dragons, giving them to the roach and not equipping the Book of Darkness. I wanted to have some fun in the final , but I ended up getting nervous. But still, archers under Ossir and the archer's dream are a powerful combination. Thanks for the game.
