Wars of the Wizards 2

Let me start from the very beginning. The start was average, nothing special except for the heroes. Then things seemed to get better; I developed a bit, but my opponent always had more castles, although I had one stack of 100+ Crusaders blocking two free ones. In short, in the middle of the second week, I went and took two Dragon Fly Hives, a minimal-level Griffin Conservatory, and started slowly developing. My army power was already higher. Then I broke through those same Crusaders and got all the Air Magic from a Pandora's Box. After another day or two, I took two Dragon Utopias, one of which was maximum-level. Only 4 Angels remained, but the rewards from the Dragon Utopias were good. All stats became 23+. And then I made a mistake — it was the end of the third week, I spotted my opponent and decided to rush him. I could have even attacked, but I took a couple of extra steps, which ultimately led to losing the entire game. My army already had 5 Angels (I bought one more at the castle). Plus 60 Marksmen and 10 Mages, I went and took his crates and positioned myself near him but across the mountains. As it turned out later, he saw me and on that same turn went and took the Shackles of War. In the end, he flew over to me and attacked. I, without a second thought, thought I would win because my stats were high and my magic was good. In the end, we killed each other off. I made Air Elementals and finished off his remaining troops. And then began the chase for luck — searching for the hero. I then continued to play with Solmyr, taking crates (he had Expert Earth and Air Magic), taking over Gavor. And ultimately I came out on top in both castles and position. Everything was great — stronger army, stronger hero, stronger income at 12k per day. And at the beginning of the next week, I couldn't believe my luck — I saw his hero in my tavern. But the joy was premature; he also found my hero, Dessa, with 23+ stats in his tavern, immediately attacked, and killed him.
As Gomunguls said, Luck favors the prepared!!! Apparently, I wasn't ready)))
Thanks for the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
