CHALLENGE The_ CHAMPIONS LEAGUE, The_'s CHALLENGE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

We each took one rest, then my internet at home went out, and I decided it was a sign, and a day later, during the replay, I took 112. Dall Cap took 111, and finally, we started! Right at the exit from the house, an external dwelling of hydras guarded by a horde of Captains)) I decided to start with them and attacked with Tazar, it would have been fine, but there were 96 of them and two consecutive morale procs in the first round forced 20 lizardmen into melee combat... I could have attacked with Tyris, but I rushed... Everything died except 3 lizardmen and 12 gnolls. Next, making my way through the thicket, I took the third castle with Tazar off the road, from it another road to the GO. One consolation - they gave me Log and Earth Magic right away! And 4 Dragon Fly Hives within 2 days of travel (another two within five days)) give hope for success. In addition to the 117, I find another external dwelling of hydras. But I decide to start with the Dragon Fly Hive, buy everything up and enter, ta-da... quick shows a loss, I held on, 29 flies left, my leg instinctively reached for the surrender (Power button), but I immediately pulled myself together and decided to keep playing) I cast Castle to have at least some army. On 121, I finish off the scoundrels with two hydras, and immediately another Dragon Fly Hive on 6. End of day result: 2 hydras and 22 Wyverns, not bad already. We continue. Pakhan runs to the GO, the army takes another 2 Dragon Fly Hives for 16 Wyverns! I trade all resources down to zero from three marketplaces, and still manage to upgrade all 38 Wyverns, +4 hydras +10 basilisks. I enter a well along the way and also try to expert Earth Magic on a crypt, but they push Armorer, oh well... 28 hydras fall without much trouble even without Slow! Next, 100+ Rocs for a Pandora's Box with 10 Champions! On 124, I break 3 Red Dragons for a Dragon Fly Hive and KZ! Next, 90 Wizards for KVody, just in time they gave water, was glad :smile44: Mana finally ran out! I take a Pandora's Box for Pegasi with 25 Swords. To the right, I see the central Castle behind a mountain. On the road, I run into blocks, each scarier than the last: a stack of ghosts for a prison, a Pandora's Box, a Dragon Fly Hive and other junk, or a pack of green ones for a library, prison, and more... I decide to break a stack of Skeletons for a Pandora's Box, but there are many of them (33) and they turn out to be with a growth stack, and because of my mistake, they take out another 11 Monks :smile35: but in the Pandora's Box there are another 10 Champions! At this rate, they will soon outnumber the Wyverns. :p In short, no opponent in sight yet, I fight my way home to replenish mana. From a View Earth spell, I determined that the other two respawns are Grass, close to it, and Barbarian, close to my second GO, but also not far from the opponent... I ramp up before him. This turn, the opponent finally shows up and captures the central Castle, along with 2 external dwellings of Angels... his army is not impressive: a few Ancients and a stack of Wyverns, but his parameters are higher than mine. On 127, I break the GO, followed by a couple of Pandora's Boxes: they give another 10 Champions! and prisons, giving Sandro with Log, Pathfinding, and Earth Magic!! I break a Dragon Fly Hive for growth Bears. They hit me a bit, and again without mana I fight my way home, leaving Sandro in front of the GO on the Barbarian adjacent zone. On 131, I first break 9 Titans with him for a Shield +4 All, from 110 mana 82 remain, and then 15 Archangels with a loss of all mana. Another hero from prison with flies and Archery on 135 runs deep, and the army returns via Town Portal to Pakhan, who again runs to the center to finish off whatever is laying around poorly. The next turn, I take the Barbarian and fight there with Tazar and Sandra, after first eating 1 Dragon Fly Hive in the center and a Pandora's Box with 60 Marksmen)) I discover a Dragon Utopia, but it's behind a Blue Guard, which I don't have :o I only have Red and Green. Luckily, another Dragon Utopia turns out to be nearby, I run to it, and there..... KV!!! The deal is practically done. Another 50 Monks, 9 hydras inspire optimism, and town portal magic allows everything to be devoured by three heroes in a rotation. Saved on 135. Cap's wife knocked on his door; during the replay, he messed up a bit and exposed his army, which I tracked through the tavern and a repeated turn, plus 5 bought Scouts in all directions))) I attacked and cast Implosion on 2800 into Wyverns, one was left alive but not finished off, the opponent bought himself out and surrendered the next turn.
Thanks for the game!
P.S. Cap, in comparison to mine, had a simply fantastic respawn for money, Dragon Fly Hives, Dragon Utopias, and even relics! But there were no external dwellings of Bears and from control items only Wings and a Hat... There's the balance..in the sense of Jebus Cross))
