The map turned out to be buggy, and I also had some computer issues. I had to rush and scout with my hero. I ended up on turn 123 with a decent stack of creatures and no spellbook. That's when I got ambushed, and I had to give up 17 creatures to buy my way out and retreat to the town. I managed to defend the castle, but I was left with only 2 units. My opponent had two mages with Mass Slow, which ultimately decided the game.
And even though I think I played correctly, I just had bad luck and didn't scout properly.
Thanks for the game.
The respawn point gave me a great start, but then there were some crazy moves from the opponent, and I somehow managed to find the central castle. Then I saw that a hero with a Black Dragon was running out of the respawn point. It was Kirra without a spellbook, and I attacked her :D
After that, there were some fun battles, as Solmyr was pushing in another direction. At first, the forces were equal, but in the end, I managed to bring him in, and magic decided the outcome.
Thanks for the game!
