Wars of the Wizards 2

I'll start from the very beginning; the start was average, nothing cool except for the heroes. Then things seemed to get a bit better. I got some momentum going, but the opponent always had more castles, although I had a block of 100+ Crusaders preventing him from taking two free ones. Overall, in the middle of the second week, I went and took two Dragon Fly Hives, a minimal Griffin Conservatory, and started slowly building up. My army's power was already higher. Then I broke through those same Crusaders and got all the Air magic from a Pandora's Box. About a day or two later, I took two Dragon Utopias, one of which was a max. Only 4 Angels remained, but the Dragon Utopias gave good rewards. All stats became 23+. And then I made a mistake—it was the end of the third week, I spotted the opponent and decided to run at 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 in the castle). Plus 60 Archers and 10 Mages; I went and took his chests, and positioned myself near him but across the mountains. As it turned out later, he saw me and on that same turn went and picked up 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 the magic was good. We ended up mutually killing each other. I made Air Elementals and finished off his meat. And then the chase for happiness began—the search for my hero. I started controlling Solmyr from there, taking chests (he had Expert Earth and Air magic), and grabbing his Gordo. And in the end, I took the lead in both castles and overall standings. Everything was perfect—my army was stronger, my hero was stronger, my income was stronger at 12k per day. And at the start of the next week, I couldn't believe my luck—I saw his hero in my tavern. But the joy was short-lived; he also found my hero Dess in his tavern with stats 23+ and immediately attacked and killed him.
As Gomunguls said, Luck favors the prepared!!! Apparently, I wasn't ready)))
