It turned out to be an interesting match.I didn't rush to take crypts on mud because it's a pain, plus the opponent had +2500 gold while I had -2500, so I slowed the pace (put horses in the fort); I played safely throughout the game and eventually gathered 2200 skeletons, while the opponent got 400 :), I shouldn't have used DD because then without mana I couldn't use TP anymore, and also didn't split own liches into 7 stacks — I just didn't expect the opponent, and that's how he cut down my main:smile04:
At first, I took the initiative and pulled slightly ahead in terms of Castle power. But a week after I messed up on the opponent's territory, he returned to the top. When he came out, he managed to grab some goodies on his last moves, smash my folder, and escape via external TP.
In the end, after a couple of days while he was exploring empty territory, I was building up my own and surged ahead in power and stats.
But then I started running extremely short on timer; eventually, a couple of clumsy moves and losing my second hero during a smash (I smashed them, but didn't have time to buy them back before the end of the turn because time ran out) allowed the opponent to level the situation. Then there was such an inteeeesting day where I could have attacked the opponent, but again, due to lack of time, I couldn't replenish mana; in the end, without mana, I decided not to attack and let him go. It seemed like the opponent had seized the initiative when he took the second КЗ, but I killed his folder right on the second day (again, issues with time or mana). In the end, I thought that I definitely wouldn't be able to push here, as my stats were already stronger, plus an army of 98 cyclops. But again, a big mistake: I started boosting in the Castle with the folder, while inside sat a second hero with artifacts and an army. It would have been simple enough to kill the two heroes one by one.
Thanks for the game, this will be a great lesson for me!
Thanks for the game!
