Somehow, I managed to win. Horn surrendered after the Djinns reduced his Phoenix stack by half, leaving him with 40%.
Overall, this happened because the Barbarian army, in terms of hit points, "outperforms" the Sorcerer's army, so he had to attack me, which meant "exposing" himself to the Djinns without Mass Haste.
Also, in recent days, I finally got Wisdom, which gave me Teleport for 20 Cyclops and a bunch of Ogres in the Fortress, and there were also prerequisites to learn Mass Cast, which, in battles with such a large army, certainly makes a difference.
Overall, the map is idiotic; I regret that we played the final on it. We were both tired, but at least the situation was roughly equal; if one of us had a native secondary town, it would have been a guaranteed loss for the other.
I think Horn played this map better overall in terms of development, except for a couple of important moments: he gave me 2 companions, which meant an income of 4k, allowing me to turn the game around; + there were moments when he should have gone to attack, but he probably thought that I had bought everything with that income.
I will try to write detailed reports when I get home; I don't have the energy right now. Overall, I am very happy that I played with such good players, chatted, and had a good time. Now, I just want to go home as soon as possible...
P.S. The title of the topic can now be changed :) With our combined efforts, we turned "While the project is in progress" into a pretty good tournament! Long live the wonderful game - Heroes 2!!! :cool:
P.P.S. PReDS sincerely regrets that his unexpectedly successful performance in the Heroes 3 tournament did not allow him to give due attention to Heroes 2 :-)
