In the "Forward, Vikings!" map, the starting position was crucial! And I was too lazy to develop sailors, and I started by conquering England and Spain... As a result, the computer took all the important artifacts, and France and Russia became serious opponents. I had to deal with them first, and only then complete the quests.
In the 3rd round, the map is more interesting, but with a starting position for Inferno, the city portal, which in the original version of the map was the key to building a good army, became less important. And to use the portal, you had to complete a timed quest. Now there's a fire quest. And fire means berserks and Armageddon. In SoD, you don't even need a quest. But the battle with the golems is too tedious, and you have to choose between taking the dungeon or fighting the golems.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to finish the non-clan tournament or the arena. I'm going on a business trip to Togliatti... :( :( :(
Thanks to everyone for the game!
I'm very sorry...:(
Now I won't be able to compare my result with yours - this would have been essential for playing better in tournaments.
I hope Paladin will play:)...and maybe natasha will even provide a save, even though it's not a competition:)
Sincerely,
Prorock.
