THIRD TE CHAMPIONSHIP – reports and summaries.

Bolivar (dwarf, Erling+Brand) defeated Yaughen (elf, Vinrael), spider, 2-1-7.

Started with Ibba and Erling.
Grandpa rush.
Hid Erling and went with him from day 3.
Throughout the game, he was weaker in the tavern - Vinrael was like a locomotive, his stats were impressive.
Logu was offered to Erling only at level 15, decided to take it - all resource zones were non-native, and one was even sand.
Cleared the treasure, took the utopia and a couple of artifacts, looked at the tavern, saw that Vinrael was making a quick move with all his creatures, teleported to the city, cleared the Guardian, saw Vinrael, ran through the upgrade locations, and went home.
Unfortunately, there were only General Blessings among the mass spells, I didn't find any removals anywhere. Haste, acceleration, stone skin - all of this was available, but not in mass form.
I looked at the opponent's upgrades and artifacts - Death's March, Path of War, Archer Set, good mass spells in light, Forgotten Armor, Tome of Chaos, a couple of dwarven artifacts, something from the dragon artifacts.
Erling had only a couple of dwarven artifacts - in the utopia, he got 2 pairs of identical major artifacts, and the rest of the artifacts from the utopia were not very useful, although I had plenty of money.
The final battle was on the last day of the week, I built the dwarven tower - at least some bonus for not completing all the tasks in the treasure.
It was a tough battle, but gradually I started to turn the tide (the grandpas were doing great), and then I started to rebuild my troops.
