He played better, but still not well. He clearly lacked experience for the join. He took his second town on day 6 or 7. Meanwhile, his opponent got 4 towns and the Gloves of the Master in the first week. He was only ahead in gold throughout the game, but that didn't help. The enemy came with a large force - 2 Grand Druids and a Tactics unit, levels 24-19, 18 Manticores, and 9 Phoenixes with 5 magic and Gargoyles. I had Grand Crusaders and a Life Grand Knight, level 5, a fast unit with general spell negation, and a Life Tactics unit, level 1. Also, 8 Titans, 6 Dragon Golems, and 3 Sorceresses. And I didn't have Immortality. So, of course, I was crushed.
He didn't live up to expectations. This map just isn't for me. I've played it a lot lately, but I still don't feel comfortable with it.
