15.08.2015 Bolotnik (blue, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) lose Alexey-omsk (red, Dungeon, Lorelei, Luna), balance M-200% 133

at the start, we got good heroes: Kyrre, Gervulf with snakes and a ballista
my opponent got Luna, whom he managed to level up well, and who decided the outcome of the game...
my city building was limited to upgrading elves and GM1, I never built anything higher, my opponent also didn't use anything above eyes and gr. harpies, but did build GM4 with a whirlpool...
in two weeks, I gathered what I thought was a good army, and on the 2nd week I entered a portal to a small treasure zone, where I took a Pandora's box with 20 Cerberi..
then, having a good army and decent stats, I decided to break through the Beholders to get to the neutral Necropolis town..
I thought I was superior to my opponent in army and parameters, so I started attacking boldly, but I should have fled to the treasure zone on the sands and finished Expert Earth...
but my opponent beat me here by 1 day, and captured it before me, while my Kyrre was standing on the speed boost behind a guard blocking the passage...
and here I made a mistake that cost me the game and the win — I attacked Luna with Kyrre...
Kyrre got Earth Magic, but it never reached Expert Earth...
I was better in army and attack/defense parameters, but I was significantly inferior in magic, which ultimately decided the outcome of the game, when Luna with a little over 100 mana against Kyrre with 3 mana wiped out Kyrre's entire army using only spells, as a result I had to go home to respawn and replenish losses
then I tried to make more futile attempts to attack my opponent's mages with my troops...
in the end, without magic there was no chance to win there anymore, and the advantage had tilted completely to the opponent's side
so on turn 133 the only correct decision was made — to surrender to my opponent, who played better and faster, and congratulate him on a well-deserved victory.
