Yes, playing against Yurist is tough for me once again. On SMK, facing Conflux 3 times in a row, all with 1 path to GO... I naturally ate all the respawns. Then I got a draw with one secondary hero behind Archmages into the basement, so I ran around until birds appeared at the respawn, luckily it’s huge with several hidden spots (I took 2 fires and 1 pixie). I bought the birds on 116, broke into the basement, passed through and smashed a mini Griffin Conservatory at the other end of the respawn. I never made it to the secondary hero on the first try. On 117, Monere camps at the Conservatory.
121 - another mini Conservatory (reminds me of my first game on Balance). I run around the respawn a bit and through the stables I break into the Necropolis, where the treasure zone glows, though it’s rather empty. I smashed another Hive with 6 Wyverns on the respawn. The treasure zone is big, but there’s nothing in it. I took 2 Hives, a couple of quest artifacts, a Naga Bank, and a Cuirass of +3. Mephala on 125 smashes GO from Angels, revealing a stack of 10+ Angels and good stats... :smile11:. What to do... I pull everything out, go through the treasure zone looking for an exit. I emerge on snow in the opponent’s secondary area, reached the Castle in 2 turns, captured it, and from there broke back to my main, killing 2 weak heroes along the way and taking another mini Conservatory :) and a max Hive.
What to do next is unclear. Luckily Mephala revealed a short turn, meaning no logistics, so I could still play and move around. I send a good weak mage hero to clear the edge of the respawn on 2 birds, and also find an exit to another of the opponent’s secondary areas. I run around near the Necropolis with another weak hero — there’s a second passage into the treasure zone, I go there... though I don’t know why, because it’s “treasure zone” only in name — long winding corridors with nothing except a Hive and a couple of prisons.
What happened next was as Yurist wrote: I took the Castle, which gave some hope (I simply had nowhere to get troops), and started running around upgrade structures and building Mage Guilds in hopes of getting Berserk for Monere’s fire and Armageddon for the weak heroes. I built Mage Guild level 4 in three Castles — neither spell was granted. However, I got Town Portal early in the Necropolis, which significantly eased the game.
Before the final battle, I decided to camp in the Castle, since it was the end of the week and I absolutely couldn’t give the opponent an extra growth of Archers. But with the Golden Bow, Mephala hit me very hard — the Ballista alone killed 2 of my birds at once, not to mention the rest. And the opponent having the Cloak of Displacement and the Sphere of Air also played a role. GG.
Thanks for the game!

Пусть мой враг будет силен и страшен. Если я поборю его, то не буду чувствовать стыда.
