dwp (Demon, Deleb) lost to Yaugen (Elves, Wing) on day 221.

I wanted to confirm, but I didn't see the report, so I decided to write this.

Of course, I wanted to win quickly with Chaos, and I didn't lose momentum and generally had a good army. But I didn't understand the map situation very well and was late.
Basically, I should have been ready to be defeated by the end of the third week and needed to be jumping around, not going through portals. As a result, I ran into a long "sausage-zone" and spent a week traveling to the opponent's castle, and that was just on the way! In the end, I only arrived at the end of the fourth week and didn't get any upgrades – it's just ridiculous. I should have changed the plan, but I didn't want to. Besides, the opponent didn't have time to build a third town.

I arrived on day 147. Wing attacked the next day.
I could have exchanged units better, but it wouldn't have made a significant difference. In the end, the elf still had dragons, and I wouldn't have been able to quickly return. Besides, Wing was retreating home to gather troops and would have quickly restored his stacks, enough to defend himself.
I went to the second town because I had scouted the first one, and the elf wasn't going there.
I arrived at the town before Wing and started clearing it out, but two days later, he also arrived, and he was very active, which annoyed me from the portal in the other part of the town. I was unpleasantly surprised; otherwise, I would have taken half the town and left him there, then retreated to the second town.

In the end, Wing's initiative decided the game; neither sharp wit nor excellent damage from the ballista helped.
Without upgrades and with Chaos, I was late, so I decided not to continue.
Thank you for the game.
