JonnyP(Haven, Iris) lost to Hero_of_heroes(Necropolis, Zoltan) 2-2-2, Smile.

At first I wanted to take a restart: the respawn turned out to be a thick intestine, where ore was two days away from wood with a stable... and Zoltan isn't the ultimate dream against a human, but I figured it's fine, overall it's normal, but it turned out not just normal, but practically sweet:) the adjacent zone, secondary zone, and treasure zone were Necropolis land, in the starting swamp hut, and the guards weren't very scary either. But of course I haven't played in a while, so at first I had losses in every battle, and I hesitated for a long time whether I should attack the garrison on the first week, afraid of getting hammered:) On the first day of the third week, growing completely bold, I went to break through the passage into the resource zone against a horde of hydras without bringing my troops, losing 50 zombies in the process, and believing in my invincibility, I didn't prepare a chain, as a result I had to waste 3 days and go to the town zone. While I was walking, the chain somehow formed and the vampires with upgraded zombies arrived. The town turned out to be Academy, which upset me because they have a lot of mechanical units... and they need a lot of resources for development, so in the end I just built gremlins and a town hall. After capturing one town, I decided to take a second one. While the mage guild was being built in my home town (as always, I'm slow with it...), I roamed around the opponent's town zone, where he hadn't appeared yet. There was already sand there, but I didn't find the town until level 5 was built and decided to teleport home, but then I suddenly realized that I didn't see a single neutral on this territory:) but still I found an elemental repository that for some reason I hadn't taken. And here I was a bit late with creating the chain, losing another day for that:) After that I went to the treasure zone. On the way to the treasure zone, I learned Plague and Weakness from my liches (totally brazen to do that on the treasure zone guard:)) After wandering a bit in the treasure zone, I saw that the opponent had broken into the town zone and decided that I would not go to his town, but meet him there. Having "fed" a bit in the treasure zone (took a Dragon Utopia, several witch huts and pyramids), getting all darkness spells except Sorrow and Charm (though I stupidly lost 100 skeletons and 15 vampires to fire elementals), I portal'd to the mage town on the seventh day. After that, I brought up the army and went on the attack. The opponent decided to suicide into my town and fielded 2 stacks of swordsmen, but for some reason in the front row. On the first turn, half a stack of liches with luck destroyed 1 stack of swordsmen, on the second turn the vampires destroyed the 2nd.

Thanks for the game!
