OFB-8

Took my 3 restarts and started. Ivor with 6 elves + 2 native, both with two stacks. A couple of crypts + 2 experience stones, a decent amount of gold, and an external dwelling of Centaurs in the depths. On the first week, they place 1-5 in the Citadel, the adjacent zone is taken. And at the end of the week, a small loss to 75 gargoyles. I went in with 11 unupgraded elves, but 18 dwarves pulled it off. (-40 Centaurs and -8 dwarves). On the second week, I break through the blockers and go into the treasure zone. There I find a Pandora's Box with 80 skeletons with mummies + another Pandora's Box behind the dwarves with 45 lizardmen. I see another Pandora's Box (+a tree of knowledge) behind 20+ cavalry. I have Mass Slow, 40 mana, 22 Grand Elves, Centaurs, and dwarves. (didn't take the skeletons). I go in and see 40 cavalry :eek:. And if it weren't for morale at the worst possible moment, I would have won, but those pigs kill me. I'm messing up all of the second week, the opponent is doing god knows what, but judging by the scouting info, he also lost his army somewhere. On the third week, the opponent is charging off-road, while I finish off the remaining 18 horses, hoping for some monks or, at the very least, ogres :))) , but I get... ALL the spells! LOL! (no Wisdom of course).
So in the end, the opponent took my main town, but the army there isn't big and he's locked in. The opponent needs to go to sleep, so we agreed on a final battle. Valieska has about 25 Steel Golems, 4 Champions, 3 Cavalry, 18 Pegasi, 88 Pikemen, 66 Skeletons + Mass Curse and a Steel Golem spell at 100 and 30 mana + significantly higher stats!. I have 10 Grand Elves, 11 Wood Elves, 5 Horses, 130 Skeletons, 78 Gnolls, 15 Centaurs. + Mass Slow and Shield + 40 mana. Anyway, I pulled it off. Thanks for the game!

How could Valya lose?
