Thanks for the game!
There were 2 more restarts, but I decided not to overcomplicate things after seeing a Tier 2 mine near my castle and 3 dwarves, plus I had a 2-hero lead and plenty of money. I spent a week exploring and leveling up, capturing one Tier 3 dwarf and defeating two others: a Tier 20 dwarf with a gold sink and a Tier 30 dwarf.
121 - I defeated the Tier 20 dwarf and immediately moved to the Tier 2 mine.
122 - I defeated the Tier 30 dwarf with a lurker and then moved my hero to a treasure and from there to the center through a portal.
123 - I saw my opponent's lurker, defeated it, and then ran after the Tier 2 mine I had spotted near my starting location.
125 - I reached it and took another Tier 2 mine. I noticed that I had a larger army, even though my opponent had started capturing cities earlier and had better roads than me, as I was traveling on rough terrain. He also had an external market nearby. When I saw that he had a lot of money and higher stats, I was a bit disappointed, but I was glad that my army was stronger.
126 - I saw my opponent running boldly through the snow and not being afraid to fight. At that moment, I realized that he only had one road leading to the neighboring treasure and that I could trap him.
131 - I bought some upgrades and chased after him. At the same time, I thought about building archers; I had 20,000 gold, plenty of resources, and controlled the external market. I could have captured all his cities and main hero, and he wouldn't have been able to quickly return. Basically, I could have controlled the entire map.
In the end, I decided not to delay and went after him. I caught up to him towards the end of the week with 30 mana and used a mass air spell, but without haste. I didn't get any kills in that battle, which was frustrating.
137 - My opponent attacked, and I was in a hopeless situation. I had trapped him. I could have fought better, but I forgot that healing removes slow, and I won thanks to my two disarmers and mana. If my opponent had full mana and no other troops, he could have won against my disarmers. If he had been out of money, I would have lost, but he had 15,000 gold to buy angels. GG. Thanks for the game.
