We cleared all the respawns and off we went, a crooked respawn with a quick exit through the efreets with GS, next to the main there's a fat Pandora full of pits that was taken apart on 113, where instead of experience they stuffed 35 stone statues, which came in handy of course, but experience-magic would have been better, on 117 I took the Conservatory a triple, on 121 I grabbed a double with chains, stocked up on some artifacts at the merchant, and Solmyr went without checking ГО to break on 121 with Mass Haste and 6 spell power, naturally the army got torn apart in 3 places, -3 angels and a ton of meat, only the gremlins remained untouched, but that was just the beginning, the center turned out to be completely overblocked to the brim, guarding boots of resistance + an Aetheric Crystal were Greater Basilisks, which whacked us no less, then 50+ Monarchs and 50+ Scorpicores and everything had to be fought! I had to split up and restore mana before the Monarchs, luckily I managed to snatch a couple of Hives on 12 Vivi, and in the box they gave 4 Chaos Hydras behind the Monarchs, I ate a couple more Hives and the Scorpicores fell for a Pandora of all fire and a level 20 hero who then sat in the central town, picking up a cleared Factory single along the way! so the Lizard didn't take the central town (400 movement points away from the Factory) and ran back, it turned out there was a similar situation with neutrals, but instead of meat they gave full control, but Kostya messed up a bit losing a couple of turn moves and seeing that I had occupied the central town, he surrenders, the autopsy showed that the fight could still have been continued, but alas... thanks for the game.
I honestly screwed up the match. I didn't notice the edge of the Naga Queens on ГО in a convenient direction. Instead, I started fighting the red dragons along the way, turned out to be 30 with GS (5 of them). I lost more than half the army and the timer. After that, a bunch of nerves and a stupid surrender because Fly works stupidly in HotA (to fly into a dwelling with cleared guards you need to spend an extra 2 steps, so I was 1 short for splitting for mana). A useful loss on the eve of the SNG. Thanks for the game and good luck in the finals!
