Favorites, to battle! - 8 - The Battle of Favorites! - 8

I got incredibly lucky in this match. 2 necros right away. 4 necros total. At 131, the Miner arrived with 2 stacks for the converter to take the Dragon Utopia. And then I had Town Portal in the first guild and Dimension Door in the second. The opponent had Moon, which was a bit scary.

The opponent got flustered because of the timer and surrendered. Post-game analysis showed that I might not have won the final battle + both of us had Gauntlets.

Thanks for an interesting match.

During my last turn, a disconnect occurred, and after loading the save, I mixed up my units; one was supposed to use flight to take back a scroll, while another with 2 Dimension Door was meant to reach the opponent's important intermediate village so they wouldn't have the chance to pull their main army back. Then, with morning brain fog and due to the timer pressure, I simply froze up and couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I finally surrendered in a tilt. It was obvious whose way luck was going in this match even at 124 during the first crossing, when the opponent attacked with half their army without mana and -2 morale against my unit with two stacks of 1 birds; to force the opponent to pay off in that battle, it would have been enough for either 2 demoralizations on the Vives or one each on Vives and Grands to trigger over 3 rounds, but... over 4!!! rounds, the opponent didn't get a single demoralization. The match could have ended back in the 2nd - early 3rd week. And then, of course, I never got the 4 Dragon Utopia, 2 Mage Guild 5 (there simply weren't enough Castle towns to build a 5th Mage Guild), plenty of level 4-5 scrolls, and Town Portal, while I only got Dimension Door one turn before the end in the last Dragon Utopia.
Thanks for the game.
