twaryna (Humans, Vitya, blue) won against Kol'ka (Inferno, Deleb + Nimus, red) Sun 2-3-7

Great start - Dougal, Axel and Vitya. Chose the latter as main hero to move fast on machines. Found a log in the hut. There were 2 garrisons (griffins+horse and griffins). All good, but the respawn turned out to be a huge corridor - nearly 3 weeks to crawl from one end to the other... The adjacent zones were also not great - more corridors, very few dwarf/gargoyle dwellings spawned, constant money and wood problems. On 1-4-1 I broke into the adjacent zone and immediately into the opponent's starting zone. There I met an angry Sinitar with 17 spell power and on full chaos (not a single -50 magic artifact found along the way). In battle he hit hard, but miscalculated and I killed him (negative morale triggered). Otherwise Sin would have really messed up my nerves later of course.. Attacked the castle - there was Deleb with a horde of demonesses - I immediately bought out with catapult and retreated home. Learned vampirism at home and ran to break through from the near adjacent zone further (before that I was going through the far one). Split army at the wrong time and Deleb jumped out and outsmarted me badly, I lost all my shooters and about 15 griffins. Then we scattered, I struggled a bit and ended up in a mini treasure zone, then into the treasure zone. Went with 50 griffins + vampirism. In the mini zone I got boots and flew around really well. Treasure zone not great - but I secured a couple of useful artifacts - the main one being armor of the forgotten hero, barely beat about a hundred paladins and 25 angels. Ended up reaching level 29, portaled home and went after the opponent. He was hiding in the castle (Nimus was already level 27) and Deleb tried to outsmart me, but not very successfully. I didn't go into the castle, but rushed into his treasure zone. There I took the sunken temple and then Nimus came out for the final battle. Surprisingly easily slaughtered him in the fight. Vampirism and mass slow rule. And, of course, 40 horses, 80 inquisitors and a hundred griffins did the job. Thanks for the game!
