We started about two weeks ago, but then put it aside because of Tsar and other games; in the first one we played up to 116. I had a decent start with 120 gnolls from 2 castles, but Lizard threatened to kill me, and he had the means: 2 logistics, including a nasty Cannoneer. I prepared for defense, but the attack didn't follow, and I started the second week with a nagashnik of 3 and uliks of 12. Then I redistributed towards stables since there was no tempo at all; I took a max-workshop without magic!! 7000 HP! Even more than in a max-utopia, got beaten up a bit, I thought it would be worse... then the third-consul already with mana and oil :D and ran upwards, as the losers revealed the library and promising pandoras. Pahan as a scout also revealed the utopia while running. In the pandora they gave 60 gnolls, and at 127, after collecting everything, and finally, clumsily schooling the shield, I take the third-utopia; they give fabulously — 4 all, КВ and wings! Next turn I take an easy TP scroll, followed by a loser pandora for the whole land, then I go on the attack, crush vivs, snatch a similar utopia from the opponent, and "relaxed," I expose myself as a loser in the area of the tower; here it must be said that fierce battles were fought over it all second week with varying success. There was actually no point in these battles, but they ruined the economy for both of us considerably :) In short, in the heat of the moment I exposed myself as a loser, leaving only 9900 for redemption; on the ticking timer I spent about 15 thousand trying to reach the castle with a fast hero. But even Kirry didn't make it... anyway, they attacked me; good thing there were no bracers or TP there, so it was fine.
Thanks for an interesting and intense game!
A brilliant game on Artem's part, bravo. I hope to play better in the deciding match. Thanks for the game!
