I had 1 restart left but decided to play although my opponent had a Necropolis town. I scouted a couple of hives in the first week. On day 125, I made contact with Tamika, and my opponent surrendered. I knew that he had a slow start at that moment, so I took his fortress village and got stronger with 5x30 conscripts and one more hive. I also got 15 Cyclops from a Pandora's Box, and we had several days of scout fights. I saw on day 144 that Tamika appeared, but I was short 2 steps to catch her. On day 145, my opponent ran through a one-way monolith and gave up after that. Thanks for the game.
Necropolis on an 8x8 map is rarely playable; there's nowhere to build a Crypt, and there's nothing to place War Horses on, and that's exactly what happened this time. The War Horses never appeared, and the army was constantly losing in blockades. In the end, only one Uruk-Hai and a hidden group of Efreet were within reach.
In the third week, my opponent launched an attack. Tamika fled into a one-way monolith, and if there had been easier guards there, I could have developed my strategy further, but I had to fight the Sorcerers for the Uruk-Hai. After that, I was left with 1 Vivas and 35 skeletons, with a minimal Uruk-Hai. The auto-battle could only manage 10 skeletons, and I had four Vivas, which weren't enough to defend anything. Nevertheless, my opponent gave me the opportunity to buy the maximum growth for the fourth week and flee into a one-way monolith again, but the army was still too small to achieve anything, and I finally surrendered.
Thank you for the game.
