Noom
Noom (red, human, Dugal/Vitya) defeated Teoretik (blue, dwarf, Erling) 311, Sun.

He played well – Dugal with a hidden unit, then Vitya came as a cockroach. Portals to adjacent areas – it took about a day and a half to travel, so he moved slowly. On the 4th week, he only broke through to the main town, and sent Vitya to the gold mine. He trained monks throughout the game, starting from the second week. Dugal, without logistics, cleared the treasure that turned out to be without undead and temples – only 5 relics guarded by units like 100 dragons and a hidden unit of phoenixes in the treasury for gold. On the 6th week, he broke through to the opponent's main town and they met (previously, he sacrificed Vitya – Erling managed to attack on the last turn and killed him, preventing him from taking a turn). I, without dispel and antimagic, endured an attack from a dark-aligned dwarf with a full set of spells. I had to pay 60 monks when they started casting spells that dealt -25 damage to monks. The opponent was left with 150 shields, 19 Erlings, and 20 elders – the rest died. A couple of days later, the opponent made a mistake and gave my cockroach almost an empty Castle, while he defended the secondary town. The second encounter was a one-sided victory in my treasure, where I had already acquired all the light magic, and 100 monks were unstoppable.
That's how it was. I consider the first encounter as a masterfully played hit-and-run tactic (although the hero has absolutely no counter to magic, except for the tent and removing curses from adepts, which is a dream for any dark mage, but he couldn't take advantage of it). The second one was doomed to fail only because Dugal acquired mass slow, antimagic, and vengeance. He wasn't lucky with the attack bonus, and Dugal always went after Erling, controlling any dark units, no matter how useful they were.

Why he used hidden units 1, 2, 3, and Erling, I don't know; the ring often helped, he took machines with a tent early on, he had Brand, but I got tired of this machine-based strategy. He started working on Ingvar too late and didn't have time to level him up; Ingvar learned a couple of runes.
Thank you for the game.
