[20.10.2015 9:57:49] HW Alexander13: Compass
[20.10.2015 9:58:26] HW Alexander13: It was random (life), he rolled chaos order (I think) and I played as life
[20.10.2015 9:58:55] HW Alexander13: At the bottom I had peasants, he had crossbowmen (I think), I won
[20.10.2015 9:59:25] HW Alexander13: At the bottom I bought a druid, because I decided to try and make a demonologist (demon book after dragons)
[20.10.2015 9:59:49] HW Alexander13: Dwelling of horses, he had angels
[20.10.2015 9:59:54] HW Alexander13: At the bottom both I and he had horses
[20.10.2015 10:02:12] HW Alexander13: After the zek I took the horses and went to t2, I failed there because only 3 crusaders, 4 horses, and a druid made it; first the druid died to angels before the town, and in the town everything else :D, but I asked for a load, bought wing-clippers (on Vlad's advice) and took everything while losing one horse (I messed up there myself)
[20.10.2015 10:08:46] HW Alexander13: Then I took the gold and went down, took horses at the bottom, and lost another one on the water, then another one on the tree
[20.10.2015 10:08:57] HW Alexander13: I'll tell you the rest a bit later
[20.10.2015 10:23:31] HW Alexander13: I exited the metro (he was just entering the metro then I think, because he also failed but didn't take a load), took the helmet of strength near the entrance and got GM Pathfinding (I was red), then I pulled out 13 crusaders and 6 monks and took the relics (I don't remember what was there anymore), then bought horses everywhere (including in Castles, I had plenty of money because I took his mine a few days earlier), had enough money to reach 22 I think, and went outside with GM Nature and Advanced Death with Master and Expert Life

[20.10.2015 10:31:50] HW Alexander13: He was playing with a tactician at the bottom and a mage at the top, he took angels before the zek (I don't remember the rest)
[20.10.2015 10:38:40] HW Alexander13: I went outside on the same turn (he was the host), broke through everything and returned, he also broke through and returned, by the way I managed to swipe the relic at the gates and it was the sandals, while he didn't even get on the ship
[20.10.2015 10:39:30] HW Alexander13: For myself I learned phoenix, strength, sandals, and resurrect, forgot mass morale
[20.10.2015 10:40:19] HW Alexander13: In the utopia I pulled out Mullich's helmet and heroes got like +3 morale
[20.10.2015 10:47:19] HW Alexander13: Bought myself 37 champs, 50 crusaders, and 25 monks (had a sling), leveled the demonologist up to demons and the runner to Master Life, he came through the metro around the fourth week I think, took my towns and learned sandals; in the end, at the portal exit (since he decided to level up instead of fight), I caught up to him
[20.10.2015 11:08:38] HW Alexander13: He had GM Life and Order plus Expert Order I think, 10 angels, 54 monks, and 8 horses; I had 37 horses, 50-53 crusaders, and 25 monks, and since his hero morale was 0, and I stopped by a town on the way, my horses, crusaders, and a couple of heroes got morale, while he had monks and a tactician and lifer I think (and thank randomness—he squeezed 15 speed into GM Order), so I immediately rushed the horses into seven angels and killed the horses with crusaders, then he used sandals, then I used sandals and the heroes started running for cover, but a disconnect happened and I had to load to the start of the turn (I didn't understand the value of loads in battle then and forgot to do them). In the end after the load, since his hero morale was 0 and I had stopped by a town, my horses, crusaders, and a couple of heroes got morale, while he had monks and Expert Order and everything went just like last time; eventually, I hid my tactician and GM Life in the corner, blocking them with two other heroes, and he scattered clumsily and started casting something with someone, and I killed all his monks, angels, and three heroes, but his tactician used sandals and escaped, after that it all started over, he fled to my main, but I didn't make it in time and then he escaped through the mine to t3, where I understand that on the third try (the disconnects were suspicious, exactly the time needed for running around, preparation, and part of the battle) he broke the GO at the portal using only heroes and a couple of squires, and took my t3 (where the town portal was :( )
[20.10.2015 11:13:23] HW Alexander13: I dumped the monks and in a week or two managed to catch him near his portal to the outside, where he again had 10! Angels, 25 (I think) crusaders, and maybe 4 horses, and everything happened pretty much the same :), although this time I cast sandals before him, but I still managed to repeat my feat.
[20.10.2015 11:13:46] HW Alexander13: We finished, I think, on the second week of the second month
[20.10.2015 11:15:35] HW Alexander13: The first exit to the outside was on 131, as far as I remember, and I took his gold on 117, simply because he was lagging, and in my opinion, this played to my advantage and I was right, as you can see (cool)
[20.10.2015 11:16:29] HW Alexander13: Well, I mean that I didn't rush to distance myself from him, but calmly ran 10 times through the castles buying the army without rushing, etc.
[20.10.2015 11:19:35] HW Alexander13: The moral of this fable is: Giving a load to Sanya is a disaster :)
[20.10.2015 11:21:36] HW Alexander13: If it's not too much trouble, send this little report to HW or somewhere else, because I'm not ready to write all this for a third time, even considering how pleasant it is :)
[20.10.2015 11:24:43] HW Alexander13: By the way, I only found out at the end that he had a shield of mind, which means an Order mage with berserk and hypnosis on my side would have been a mistake, although there is also slow, town portal, teleport, and mass steal.
[20.10.2015 11:27:45] HW Alexander13: From all my games, one can understand that victory is achieved not by experience and wisdom (despite the fact that I am very wise), but by a series of errors and obstacles on the part of the opponent, and monstrous luck on mine :D
