On day 1 Vidomina came, I decided to cut skeletons for her, we got Earth and Fire, and then we got various crap that later even came in handy. On day 112 I went to a secondary hero who only got it on day 121. Got very lost in the labyrinths, lost a lot of tempo. Find a Dragon Utopia nest, even place a portal. Ran around and cleared Threes and Dragon Utopias so much, I don't remember exactly how it was, we played the game in 3 sittings. And already in the middle of month 2, the opponent casts Dimension Door to the Castle, doesn't reach it. I portal to the Castle with Vida. First, a scout hero attacks with 12 efreets, devils, 20 pits, 40 grand elites probably, 40 ice elementals, 25 earth elementals, something like that. He knocks 10 mana out of me and takes 3 unicorns (2 with an efreet shield) and 3 elves. Then the main hero attacks, his attack and defense are many times higher than mine. 7 angels, 9 birds, 70 storm elementals with 20-30 energy and magma each, 15 mind elementals probably, and 45 wyverns. I have 8 red dragons, 60 elves, 35 pegasi, 33 dendroids, 15 unicorns, 650 skeletons. Expert Tactics deploys immediately for attacking, and here the unnecessary Artillery skill gives me the right to cast first. I take down 8 out of 9 birds with Meteor Shower and towers. The angels destroy the elves, wyverns, and unicorns. The fact that I lost 3 stacks (a decoy) while the opponent lost 1.5 stacks confused me greatly. The difference in attack and defense is obvious. I realize I won't last long, and on top of that, the Air elementals shot with a luck roll on 150 skeletons. I summon 112 Earth Elementals. The dragons and pegasi fall by half. On round 3, I make a terrible blunder (the opponent has Mass Haste from round 1 and in round 2 cast a blind on logs) and I cast Oil, and here Artillery and the first move of the ballista allow the opponent to recast Mass Haste, and then he cuts down my troops. On round 4, practically without an army, I summon another 112 Earth Elementals. He has nothing to hit them with. He casts Armageddon and retreats with 19 Magma Elementals. Vidomina disappears, skeletons were not given. I have never seen such panic. I wanted to write GG, but then on my turn I find her in the tavern with 0 troops. I find 15 gnolls and portal into the Dungeon, where there will be 2 dragons on day 1, and nearby 2 Griffin Conservatories I haven't taken, easily captured with basic magic, and there is a place to cut skeletons (I had the Cloak and Amulet). The opponent takes the Castle. We decided not to continue, stopped at a Draw, since the game had already taken many hours, starting at 3 PM, and would have dragged on for just as long. Dimension Door, Fly, Portal — by the time he caught up to me, I would have had enough skeletons to fight back.
Thanks for the game.
I have finished my group.
Thank you everyone for the interesting games. It was a tough group, however.
