Thanks for the game!
Both players got a double, but Shakti didn't believe in his luck and went for a re-match. Ivor, with his mages, accepted, and in the second week, he systematically finished him off.

Everything was decided on turn 112. There was a passage to the metro through the Firelands, but with absolutely no money and heroes (a difference of 3,000 gold), I decided to restart, thinking that the passage wasn't far and that it was somehow delaying him, hoping that my opponent would at least be there. But resources and gold weren't gathered. In general, I arrived on turn 116, didn't see anything in the turn overview, and thought I'd go and crush him with a miner and get all the gold back. I saw an untouched passage to the Snow, with a Wyvern at the edge, and thought that my opponent's block didn't let him pass. But Brogh's scouting showed that the passage was open, and he had moved last... In general, he reduced my first-week army to nothing, having 18 Grand Knights.

In the second week, I tried not to give up, and I tried to bluff my opponent a bit with the rules of shifted guard, but he didn't fall for it :) and gradually approached my Castle. There was no way to fight against the strong mages; I didn't even have books or arrows on the heroes who had books. On turn 127, there was naturally no attack on my Castle due to the arrival of the new week, and I surrendered, leaving only one hero in the Castle).

It's a pity that the game didn't turn into a double-build game. It would have been interesting and even in my favor, despite the financial crisis, due to the hidden Minotaur lair on the second-tier territory.

Thanks for the game.
