Round 1. After looting his treasure zones and gaining a significant advantage in creatures and stats, I attacked the opponent and took their capital. Then, while chatting on ICQ, I used Dimension Door twice, which prompted the opponent to suggest replaying the entire game.

Round 2. The overall power balance constantly fluctuated like scales; Peter played very cautiously. After prolonged pressure, I managed to capture the capital, seize secondary locations, and deal with the partisans. In the final battle, the opponent, despite having a large creature advantage, didn't equip the Amulet of Tea, breastplate, and +1 life item, which proved decisive. After the game, we checked with the artifacts equipped, and I still won the battle. It turned out that Peter lacked experience in such battles. With the artifacts equipped, it would have been necessary to negotiate a ransom for Vistan.
The analysis revealed an interesting point: the legion of skeletons was assembled without the participation of Necromancers – using only hidden structures and a transformer, with just one Necromancer Castle :smile54:
However, I don't think this would have affected the outcome of the game, as there were still plenty of other troops in reserve, and no manacles were available.
Thanks for the game!
