We agreed to play mirror immediately without coins. I banned Conflux, Roman banned Tower. First, Necro appeared, I was happy, but 500 flew for regen. Swamp appeared, after trading I got a blue Dragon and +1400 gold. Castle had a few upgrades and chests, I didn't rush away from spawn quickly, but simply leveled the main hero head-on, gradually moving towards the borders. Dragon was already 111 with Earth, so late game wasn't in the plans. On 124 I ran to the opponent's plane, captured 2 strategic Zephyrs and a castle. On the other flank, the secondary Barbarian was beaten by the left army, and reds were scouted through the watchtower in that zone. I rearranged the chain, on 127 attacked Gundula's secondary with a heavily superior army and stats. Killed almost everything, almost without losses. Sent the Dragon at an Angel, leaving the rest of the army and Caitlin's artifacts from the prison. On my turn, Vistan attacked her with good stats and remnants of growth. Had the scout hero been zero, perhaps Roman would have had a chance, but Caitlin at level 10 with Archery and Haste handled it without problems. Thanks for the game.
p.s. Please correct: the starting and main hero of the opponent, obviously, is Vistan.
Thanks for the game.
