The situation was such that if I engage with 4 angels, I lose not just one angel, but maybe even 2! That is, the angel had 76 hp left, imagine if I had attacked with the angel, taken maximum retaliation damage, and then who would I use to hit the gorgons??? Take retaliation again? Since I was the attacker, I would always have to attack. Tazar was carrying very well there, so I could have actually lost the angels altogether if, for example, the gorgons were defending and I was hitting with the angels.
Moreover, no one has ruled out the possibility that I might have to fight again after buying out Tazar's army, so I need to preserve my army as much as possible. I don't know how much money is there.
To Ihtiandr: you are talking utter nonsense. According to you, I should just waste 5 hours (which we played through; a single FB lasted at least half an hour) just because, at the very end of the game, in its finale, 4 mages would take a long time to shoot. Let me remind you that earlier I made a stupid mistake, sacrificing 11 mages to bulls when I could have simply pulled back and used the angels to finish off the enemy archers (effectively, I just dismissed 7 mages). 11 mages would have shot much faster, but that's another story, and I don't blame the opponent for having 4 mages instead of 11, so why complain about the opposite?
Regarding morale shooting: Ihtiandr, please explain to me why I shouldn't use this skill? For example, Tazar had earth magic, and I didn't! And while Mass Slow was active, my units were just taking full damage! Maybe, for the sake of etiquette, red shouldn't have used Slow?? I have no idea how I managed to win, and here you are writing such nonsense about disrespecting the opponent.
Obviously, a winning situation should have ended much more simply. Bulls kill the wagon, I shoot my load and send the angels in to attack the bulls, but the opponent acted extremely poorly. First, when the situation with the mages and angels had already developed, he left to smoke without explanation. I sat there for several minutes, messaged him in DM, no response. Then, after his smoke break, he came back and simply said "I'm going to sleep, let the orgs decide," and disconnected, leaving me high and dry, creating completely unnecessary disputes instead of a normal, human conclusion to the game, which could have ended in 5 minutes without him chasing my mages.
