Armageddets (Red, Dungeon, Geon, Alamar) lost to Ubity (Blue, Stronghold, Wei, Vokial) in a Skirmish m200. After two restarts, we started the game. Near the Castle, there were a good number of resources, and many mills were located close to the Castle. Two Crypts were quickly captured. Two Troglodyte dwellings and a Cyclops lair. So, there was no question of restarting. I cleared my starting area. Taking a second Castle was not feasible – the path to the secondary Castle was blocked by Griffons guarding a Beastiary. The path from below was also blocked by Demons. In the third week, I took a second Castle, grabbing a gold mine with my Thieves. Then, I planned to head for a third Castle, but an opponent appeared from above. I brought my hero and army back along the chain, but the opponent turned around and retreated. I was pushed back. I set off again, clearing out the Demons along the way, but the third Castle was also blocked by upgraded Demons, so I passed by it. I sped up and prepared to attack a new starting area. Then, I saw the opponent speeding up as well. I attacked him. He had two upgraded Harpies. I killed one, and he fled with the other. I managed to damage his army with my hero. Then, the opponent bought reinforcements and attacked. I killed his birds and retreated with a large army to avoid losing my hero. He began scouting my territory. I took one of his Castles with my hero, and then the second while he was heading towards me. Then, he retook his Castles, gathered all possible artifacts, took the only Utopia on the map, and came to attack me. Thanks to magic, I could have won in the Castle, but his magic resistance skill deflected my spells four times. So, with heavy losses on both sides, the opponent won. Thank you for the game.
