Today, the rematch took place! I achieved a rather easy victory over my opponent (relatively speaking). As TerMinator said, "only your own experience will help here!", and that's exactly what happened. As I predicted, a lot in the final battle depended on the artifacts: this time, I had the Staff of the Underworld, the Boots of the Wanderer (+1 to speed), and two rings of speed (+20% to initiative). I managed to raid the Dragon Utopia three times + I found the necessary artifacts in the fields. I also followed the advice of $an4es and Lord Mortulus and upgraded Fundamentals of Luck => Magic Resistance + I equipped the Armor of the Forgotten Hero (which also seems to give +20% resistance). Since I had the Speed tactic + speed aura + Boots of the Wanderer, I reached the free Cyclops in the first turn, where I destroyed three stacks at once: Titans, mages, and golems. After that, everyone died very quickly.
Regarding the previous battle: I couldn't use the shamans + chieftains because of the low initiative of my troops, since the Orcs moved before the chieftains and applied a slow effect. As a result, after the slow (which lasted about 20 turns), the initiative of the chieftains was 8, and the Cyclops was 5 :( and the mage simply killed me with Armageddon with the wizard's sign + his army moved very often compared to mine. So, in that battle, the mage didn't really need much defense. Thank you all very much for the advice; I will continue to practice online and gain experience.
