All resets were used, had to play with what we got. The draft was terrible! Strong shooter blocks on the roads, no wood, the horses never upgraded (on the first week there was -1 2 4 in the Citadel. Found a Necromancer's plateau, prayed for a Necro on the second week, and Vedomina came!)) Captured the external dwelling of minotaurs, Dungeon — placed a portal there, and just in time on day 7 the minotaur building was scheduled. But then a meeting with the opponent, his army is an order of magnitude stronger. So I holed up as a scout hero in the Dungeon, with everything I had. He didn't attack for some reason, though he could easily reach me. The next day I built the Citadel, and a day later the Castle. The opponent kept hanging around, but didn't attack, a couple of scout heroes were exchanged, while Vedomina ran around boosting stats.
The opponent fled, I brought Vedomina up, came out of the Castle, killed the scout hero standing at the exit of the underground, and run out into the Swamp. The opponent writes that he surrenders — ran too far and sees no point in continuing. GG thanks for the game.
