played poorly relative to tempo - the break in games due to work troubles took its toll...
on day 1 I took Angelic Alliance and revealed 5 hives - 3 of them were far, there's a Dragon Utopia, a tavern town
on day 2 I cleared several hives, was severely lacking gold for the angel upgrade even with trading at the black market
also revealed a Griffin Conservatory, Tronj, and 3 hives near the 2nd town - decided to delay my exit
on day 3 I took a Dragon Utopia - as usual for me, if the Dragon Utopia is on the native respawn, it means minimal loot with garbage
on day 132 I went to the center - too late - Goshan is already there in the tavern scaring me with his stats
I take Inferno near ГО, a scout hero stole an artifact from under the Necro's nose, then I took another Dragon Utopia - minimal again, but at least with a Water book for the expert skill, and due to the lack of pass-fight I didn't manage to grab the 2nd set of Shackles nearby - that decided it
next turn Goshan attacked
VALYA: 21 20 17 11
12 Archangels, 79 Draconians, 59 Crusaders, singles of Royal Griffins
GOSHAN: 32 29 26 27(540)
3 Angels, 59 Draconians, 474+1+1+1 Bone Dragons, 4 Dread Knights
I cast Anti-Magic on the Archangels, then thanks to resistance also on the Draconians, in principle the victory would have been mine, even despite the stat difference, but Goshan's 540 mana decided it - he started summoning elementals 80 at a time
I wiped out all his troops except the elementals, but couldn't flee because of Goshan's Shackles - of course he killed me, but Goshan also went to the grave.
both had further prospects, but to not waste a ton of time, we agreed on a draw.
THANKS FOR THE GAME!
