I immediately switched to Necropolis. I had a close-range Necromancer build, and everything was going well, but the first Fortress Battle happened at the beginning of the second month. On that day, the Scorpion's stats decreased by about 7 each. I thought it might be due to Amulet of the Dead, but I still didn't quite believe it because the stats were still high. I attacked and was easily defeated because it also had +3 speed. I only managed to buy myself out with 1,000 skeletons. After that, I controlled the map with three heroes and captured the Scorpion's cities. I also found another Amulet of the Dead and leveled up Mullich, who gained the anti-magic skill, hoping that the Scorpion didn't have the Black Orb. When my large stack of Vivs didn't work in the Fortress Battle, and the slow effect didn't work either, everything became clear.
However, after the game, it turned out that in the first Fortress Battle, the Scorpion didn't wear the handcuffs, and in the last one, it didn't wear the Black Orb. But even with it, I would have had a better chance.
Thank you for the game.
