About my game with Vitalik. I'm blue Fortress - main hero Alkin, he's red Castle - boss Valeska. We used all restarts, that's what playing till the end gets you. I discovered a road blocked by a horde of Earth Elementals (guarding a Hive). I ran for a long time along a side corridor, an external dwelling of Gnolls and that's it. I found an entrance to the underground, ran through it back to the main road, placed all my heroes in a chain, on week 2 transferred the army, on 123 broke through the Elementals and took the Hive on week 8. The respawn turned out to be good, found an external dwelling of Gorgons and a Dragon Utopia, the main hero - Alkin started leveling up like crazy, better late than never.
Already on 132 I break the Dragon Utopia with 3 Dimension Doors, Gorgons rule. Book of Earth, sword +12 - 3, hat +6.
The scouts found 2 more Dragon Utopias, Alkin runs to them, on week 4 takes them (lots of artifacts for stats), as well as the green bot's Conflux, I buy and level up Earth and Air magic.
Here I make a mistake. It's clear the game is dragging on and that control of the map should decide things. There is neither Fly nor Dimension Door. Clearly I needed to take the army from Flax, give it to a secondary hero and fight for resources to build the mage guild. I don't do this. Neither of us had Logistics or movement spells, at least that was the impression - the main heroes could barely drag themselves across the map.
Then I send Alkin into what seemed like a promising passage, I pick up Boots of Speed, some minor stuff here and there. Here's the second mistake - intuition failed me - I decide there's nothing good there and Town Portal back to the castle. But on the very next turn a scout discovers a Dragon Utopia, a Pandora's Box, and a Griffin Conservatory on a tiny patch of land. Sadness.((

Everything within reach has been devoured, I decide to go to the promising Dragon Utopia, next to it a Sphere of Earth Magic, Pandora's Box... combat stats 22,30, magic power of 24 was nice, with Expert Summon Elementals and Implosion.

At this point the club time is up, we've been playing for more than 10 hours, clearly not finishing quickly. Two options: play until morning till the very end or concede on points. I conceded the victory to Vitalik.)

So that the intrigue is preserved in the last round, so that Vitalik has strength left, Pete and Vitalik's game - I'm sure many will want to watch it.
Thank you to all partners for the long, interesting games, I got great pleasure. I recalled a lot along the way, there were some hints given to me, especially Vic giving tips. I wanted to disqualify myself, but everyone unanimously talked me out of it.
Had some nice cognac and whatnot, today after the round we're holding the awards ceremony and getting ready to go home.
