2nd game. I suggested templates.
I will describe this game in detail, because I couldn't imagine I would lose...
We chose 1 restart each and one by quick match.
111 - 6 heroes, 2 necromancers, 2 experience stones, 103 Griffin Conservatory demons, clues, 2 external dwellings of demons and an external dwelling of pits. This is not restarted.
112 - Septienna and Xsi have advanced necromancy and advanced secondary skills, the 2nd Griffin Conservatory is revealed, a restart is definitely not taken.
113 - necromancy, Septienna checks the nearby Griffin Conservatory, 2-4 without Grandmaster Sorcery, Xsi and Septienna get Earth Magic synchronously.
114 - I break through the guard of the second Griffin Conservatory, 1k, take it, emerge with 12 skeletons, 35 demons and an Efreet (the second one gave up on morale)...
115 - I break through to the portal towards Rampart, on the way necromancy with two necromancers, Xsi mastered Earth Magic faster and got identified as the papa.
116 - I approach the Rampart closely with a loser, Septi heads towards the portal, Xsi takes a 2500 crypt for +1/+1 Luck and Morale and a helmet for +3 Knowledge.
117 - Xsi divides back home and replenishes mana, Septi finishes off the remaining necromancy enemies, Rampart is captured.
121-122 - Xsi takes the home clue for 6 Vivs and kills the 3rd Griffin Conservatory with losses of 6 demons, 2 imps and 30 skeletons, a clue in the Rampart zone is scouted, which I plan to take next turn with Alagar. And then comes 123. The opponent comes with Gunnar, cuts off 2 of my losers, one of them Septi, captures the castle.
123 - I am sure that 4 angels, 4 efreets, 6 ducks, 90 devils, 80 skeletons is a sufficient army for contact with stats 2 3 7 8 and built Grandmaster Magician 2 with Ice Bolt and Blindness. I lead everyone towards the Rampart, and tried to be a bit sneaky. Since I saw that Gunnar was walking strictly along the path, I positioned Alagar in an area out of Vision's reach. I thought that on 124 I would bring troops to Alagar via Octavia, recapture the castle, and have Xsi divide there. But it was not to be, because the opponent had a strategic lookout that saw this move. On his 124, the opponent buys Terek and cuts off my Alagar. Another failure.
124 - nothing to be done, I have to recapture the Rampart with my main and send the losers for resources. I recapture the Rampart, buy Dessa, she kills Terek, I direct him to the revealed hive.
125 - I reveal that strategic lookout, the opponent is not in sight. Xsi transports the troops from the Rampart and hands them over to Dessa, she takes the clue and returns the troops back. I stand before the corner entrance to the opponent's respawn with 4 angels, 4 efreets, 90 devils and 10 Vivs, aiming to break in and snatch his main.
126 - the opponent divides, transfers troops and attacks. And then it was time for me to be shocked. Mullich 12 17 11 10, expert Offense, Defense, Air, Earth with Air 1-4 lvl, 5 birds, 15 ducks, 205 upgraded skeletons, 3 bears, 20 Cerberi, 34 wolves... Well, I think, what if Mass Haste is missing, the only "chance", I cast Slow, then Mass Haste follows, then Chain Lightning and GG.

The post-mortem revealed that Mullich had a teapot and speed boots picked up from a skeleton.

Thanks for the game. Well played.
