We restarted and went for it:
Week 1: Archers built - good. Gunnisson arrived - appointed him as deputies, and then Piers also appeared, but they still managed to hit the log with Gunnisson, that's it. Painted Ramp and took a mini-gnome. Scouted a Conservatory 3-4 and another one. By the end of the week I expertised the log; stables are close. At home, horses in the castle, in the Ramp there are elves in the Citadel :cool:
Week 2: Took a mini-Conservatory and poked into the Throne room (max level), naturally a loss. The opponent took pity and gave an auto (by the way, no one in the tournaments gave an auto, so Wlk777 is the first, thanks to him :smile54: , though I'm ashamed for taking it myself... but I really wanted to play...) I turn away from the Conservatory and run to the metro. There I take the gold mine. I capture the red Necropolis... low-level hero wars ensue. Gunnisson runs to his own respawn for the sword +3.
Week 3: Took the sword, then boots of speed :smile03: behind the Manticores. Painted the Sword area and on to the Conservatory. +4 angels, total 5 of them, I go for the shield +4 to all behind the horde of Roc. Westan just cleared 2 Dragon Fly Hives, and the swift Christian with a ballista and 7 Pikemen thinned the ranks of the red heroes and then died a hero's death :) I take the shield, break through to home, Westan just crept almost to my gates. I transfer the army (also brought 27 Grands from the Ramp) and into battle with full mana.
And here I finally played the FB properly.
Gunnisson level 13 17-11-7-7(70) has: 5 angels, 10 Champions, 62 Marksmen, 21 Crusaders, 27 Grands, 9 Monks and 20+ Halberdiers.
Westan level 12 3-11-8-5(27) has: 4 angels, 25 Wyverns, 90+ Lizardmen, 120+ Gnolls, 8 Mages and 12+2 Serpents.
We fought for a long time, throwing oil and arrows at each other, until all the shooters on the battlefield were killed, though the reds had 18 Lizards left and a couple of Mages, but I didn't particularly fear them, calmly throwing Arrow at the angels (I still had enough mana for a dozen Arrows with 100 damage each, while Westan's mana reserves had run out) - the opponent decides to go into melee. He bites with accelerated Wyverns and 2 angels at the Crusaders and gets oiled. After a few turns, thanks to morale, all of Westan's Wyverns and angels left the battlefield. Gunnisson had 10 Champions, 5 angels and 3 Crusaders left. The enemy runs but doesn't surrender...
I immediately run to the treasure zone to the horde of Wizards for the hat of 5th level magic... Having bought my growth, I took the hat with the loss of 9 Champions (those bastards cast Haste on themselves). I break through home to replenish mana; the low-level hero takes the mini-Nagarash... news of the surrender arrives...
Thanks for the interesting game.

Штирлиц шел по коридору. Вдруг одна из дверей открылась, оттуда выскочил Борман, дал Штирлицу сильного пендаля и заскочил обратно. «Гарпия» - догадался Штирлиц.
