11.12.10 Might and Magic 3 Hero (red, rnd, dung, damacon, clavius) def Mar (blue, ramp, kyrre, kyrre) 2sm4d (3) 144

Another terrible game on my part... :) Everything was generally okay (except for the starting position) until I tried to take a +3+3 Amulet of the Elements with Solmyr and 5 Manticores (I don't even know why I needed it...) for 20+ gold, but there were 49 Pegasi. I killed about 20 of them and ran away with 50 HP. The opponent is building skeletons very slowly, so I went along the road. I only reached the second week in the middle of the third day. At the end of the third day, Solmyr found an Amulet of the Elements deep in the resource area, took it, retreated to the second week, and gave it away. Things started to pick up a bit. On day 137, I spent my last money on Draconians. On day 141, another idiotic situation: I couldn't buy a single unit, even though the opponent was near the gold mine and threatening to come soon. On day 142, he attacked with 10+ Titans, captured my Castle with all the reinforcements. Meanwhile, I was just breaking through to the Treasury, and there was a block in the form of a horde of Scorpions, and I had neither Slow nor the first turn. Half of my army was destroyed. And they were guarding a lousy bag of gold and a Hive. There was nothing good in the Treasury: 100+ Demons for a +3+3 Shield, Necromancer Boots that I no longer need. I headed for the exit, just in case I could go in another direction, where there were still monsters. But the opponent attacked: 100+ Gnomes, 100+ Grand Gnomes, 4 Enforcers, 3 of my Draconians. I had some kind of unclear mix of units and 530 Skeletons. The stats were around 10, roughly the same. I approached, he used Slow, I had Resist, and 2 units remained "clean." I managed to move before the Grand Gnome, although what really decided the outcome was that his Gnome was blocking the path for the Enforcer, so the Grand Gnome couldn't attack. Mass Haste, and the Skeletons turned everyone into mush. Thanks for the game!
