A rather strange game.
I sold a Castle with a color for 4200. The opponent chose 2 restarts, on the third I saw by the number of heroes and the absence of a restart that it was fine there, but I didn't take it because of my own Griffin Conservatory and a quick exit to a teleport under the Castle. As a result, I guessed wrong strategically — there were Dwell Mins, a Dwarf Cottage, hives, and Gunnar there.
However, the game was decided not by anyone's skill, but by the generator's quirks. From my Castle to the center was 1 day's walk, to the opponent's — two days, meaning realistically about 4000 MP. The Griffin Conservatory turned out to be a single one, I took it on turn 115, on turn 116 I broke into the center zone through 30 Grands using that angel; everything there was also very compact.
On turn 117, the dad hero, buffed on the angel, before capturing the central Castle village decided to break a passage into the center from the opponent's side — 19 upgraded Monks. And there, behind a tile of mummies and a pack of Monarchs, stood the Miner, preparing to rush into the center on turn 121 with a buyout. The Miner was buffed on a Centaur. I realize that if there's a Log there, he could even run into my capital from there )) 31 dogs, 1 angel, 14 spears, 3 birds, and 14 orcs (there was a dwell on respawn) attack the Monarchs. Stats are 7 1. And there are 19 lads!!! Autobattle showed it's over. Any morale from them would have truly buried me. But I got lucky and only lost the birds, spears, and 18 dogs. In my excitement, I didn't set up properly and let the Miner escape )) From there I run to the nearby port and rush into the opponent's Castle. The money intended for the Citadel + a trade and 2 scout heroes scatter and also cut down Gunnar. Another "surprise" is that the opponent hadn't placed the Citadel yet, and I can't place it either. On a scout hero 1000 MP away from the Castle, there remain 120 Trogs, 6 Mins (fortunately, I killed 3 more in the Castle), 9 Evil Eyes. But the fact that all this is on a full scout hero prevents defeating the angel, 10 dogs, 14 orcs, 4 Medusas under Tyras with expert Offense.
Thanks for the game!
