The Great Confrontation – reports and summaries.

Bolivar (mages, Razzak) defeated Y11 (humans, Rutger) 2-1-7, M3

My opponent fought an unsuccessful battle at the start of the game, so he slowed down a bit. I was slowed without logistics and without any drains. But I saved the meat, of course.
On 2-1-5 Rutger broke through my adjacent zone, I reached level 20 and urgently drained from the journey home, managed to pass the troops along the chain. I crafted minor artifacts, though I didn't buy back all the meat - there wasn't enough gold.
After 2 days Rutger burst into my starting zone and attacked my main hero in the castle, it was a one-sided battle there (I would have attacked in the field myself, but I didn't have enough movement, and abandoning the castle with Rutger in close proximity would have cost me more). In the field, according to my calculations, Razzak would have won too, but the losses would have been greater.
With Eagle Eye I looked at Rutger's skills, artifacts, and magic. It became clear - why he is 4 levels above my main hero - the path of war certainly allows for expansion.
When the outcome of the battle became clear, Rutger bought himself out, losing all his shooters, most of the monks, and one Archangel. But..... 7th day of the week. So the next day the opponent didn't continue, not finding Rutger (by the way, even if he had been in the tavern, he would have been without all the bought-back troops).
Thanks for the game.
