Speed and aggression.

Wassermann (blue, random, Stronghold, Krek-Hek, Krek-Hek) def. Gaudin (red, random, Stronghold, Gundula, Zubin) speed1 (m-u), 127

I confirm.
I won't go into detail about how poor the respawn points were, etc.
I am firmly convinced that a skilled player would have won there. :)
And I want to acknowledge the opponent's sportsmanship. When I lost to the harpies guarding the Pandora's Box and told him, he replied:

I'm not playing for the tournament win, but for fun, so you get an automatic win from me. :-)

I also remember that in the previous round, Ihtiandr did the same.
It's very pleasant to play with such people who don't go for the kill, trying to win at the slightest mistake by the opponent. IMHO, of course. :)
Keep it up, guys! :)
Also, I'll note that I seem to be getting better. In the second week, I took a consul-trio, a gnome, and cleared the Gate of the Underworld (50-99 monks). It turned out to be about 80 with a Guardian Spirit, and... I ended up right in the arms of an opponent who met me with 7 angels, demons, and vivs, all with high stats. I, on the other hand, didn't manage to get any good stats.
I was actually confused by this encounter.
I thought we were supposed to go through the treasure room to meet, judging by the template.
Oh well, we had a great game :smile20:

Thank you for the game!!!
