Drakula82
Drakula82 (mages, Hafiz) lost to GL (dwarves, Karl) - Maze map.
The map generated was quite challenging :) 70% of the territory is covered in snow! My mage wasn't offered a dwelling, and my opponent also played without one, but considering that he spent 90% of the game running around his own territory, I don't think he was too worried about it. The development wasn't great; I wasn't allowed to resurrect in my castle and practically couldn't find a place to do so until the endgame. The dwarf, on the other hand, had resurrection and was much more successful in dealing with evil neutrals. In the end, Karl managed to break through to my territory and appeared in my starting castle. I managed to defend with a tome of light and retreated home, where I built up a force of mini-artifacts and waited for the dwarf. The final battle took place in my castle. Unfortunately, one major mistake at the end of the battle tipped the scales in favor of GL. Thanks for the game!

I confirm. The final battle lasted about an hour and a half; everyone was resurrected using runes, mini-artifacts, and magic 5-6 times. I underestimated the power of the mage army, charged in boldly, and almost paid the price - I wanted to retreat a couple of times. However, either the 12 hours of playing in a row or the late hour affected my opponent's concentration, and practically one turn decided the outcome of the battle in my favor (it's a pity I don't have a save file). There is practically a result, but out of respect for my opponent, I suggest that the judges declare a draw!!! I think that would be fair.
P.S. I think Drakula wouldn't mind.
