Ivor came without elves, but he had a double and found their stash. On turn 113, he took the compass, and on turn 117, he had units in the cities. Ivor got a log, earth, and found boots. As a result, he trapped the Miner in his treasure. But he managed to grab a hydra, gain strong stats, although he had only one attacking stack after the hydra - 421 skeletons. My army ultimately won. Thanks for the game!
That's exactly what happened. It should be acknowledged that I played far from my best, unlike Sergey. In the first week, I ran to my own town and it paid off: there were 6-7 peasant stashes scattered around the bushes, and this town was a Necropolis. The fact that I took a dwelling of miners is not important in this situation.
As a result, I carelessly played turn 127, which decided the game. I was greedy - I decided to take the dwelling of devils, which was located not far from the exit of the starting area. This procedure cost me 2500 gold for the devil himself and another 2500 for an additional hero, whom I had to buy in the chain. And then, after Sergey's unexpected rush, another 2500 for the retreat and buying a hero on a Pegasus, who then transported this army around. Meanwhile, my main hero gained some stats in the area near the town, but he could have reached the hydra even earlier without this. In general, I could have easily transported the entire army, taking into account the 7500 gold spent in vain, and taken the hydra earlier. The hydra was maxed out with all 6 skills, a gladius, and a book of water.
And my main hero was an expert in air magic. He had about 80 mana. It should be noted that 600 skeletons and 250 trolls went into the hydra. If I had been more accurate, 300 trolls and 750 gray skeletons would have gone in, and even more of the other units.
450 skeletons came out of the hydra.
In general, even despite my inaccuracies, if I had been given a book of earth or air instead of water, I would have won with the Fortress.
Thanks for the game!
