Wowa (random, Sorsha, Gurney&Shiva) def Javdet (random, Pyre, Calh&Luna) 211, 8MM6@medium roads, WT-full without experience and tax

Yes, it was a good, meaningful game.
There's Calh, 2 stacks of demons, we play.. But resources are tight, and Cerberi and Dragon Flies & Centaurs block the road. First time online at the start, I upgraded Gogs by taking a single Mercury mine — then a bank collected tribute for 2 weeks:rolleyes:, but I reached the center almost without losses. At home, by some miracle, Pits were built in the Citadel.

Week 2 searching for Lava and scouting, Efreet and Pit dwellings are captured. Week 3 starts with a Conservatory on 2, then through complex chains I grab 2 more in one day and on 135, a portal breakthrough to a Dragon Utopia while peasants settled in the comp's Citadel. 136 Dragon Utopia for stats and a risky chain is built to take 3 Dragon Fly Hives on 137, while Calh runs to another Dragon Utopia. Got the Hat, already good. Then another Dragon Utopia and Calh gets stuck in labyrinths; meanwhile, fairly leveled scout magic heroes try to learn Town Portal, but with restructuring, luck fails 3 times.
And then the moment of truth: Gurney devours the Dragon Utopia I had set my sights on the day before and stays on it. But there are no Vambraces, and Archangels go first and buy it out.
and then Town Portal is given — that's what ruined me, I think I'll take any nearby town and transfer the army there with scout heroes. I go into the teleport — and there's a town with Gurney, and it turns out my Luna is 10 tiles away from there by air. The Tavern, even with Red buying, shows an advantage. It's late, we've played a total of about 18 hours, no desire to postpone again, I figured I could hold out in melee and then flood the battlefield with Water Elementals, double Luna's mana, complete growth, and the fight, which was lost because of the opponent's first turn. We fought well, not too upset, but then I read about Alessandro's disqualification and the frog started to choke me — had I known earlier, I wouldn't have rushed in so recklessly and I think I would have worn down the opponent. I needed to find and seize his castle and upgrade to 15 Angels. And also would have tried to get Dimension Door for the scout heroes.

Thanks for a good battle!!!
