Reports and summaries of the “Art of Strategy - 2” TOURNAMENT.

Noom (red, mages, Ora) lost to Stefan (blue, elves, Talanar), 131, Rainbow.

We played a map with a horse stash, starting with Narhiz and Nura, and Ora in prison. Ora immediately got machines and decided to play chaos-light-machines-spells-artifacts. Almost no banks, one snowy town with little money. Eventually found a market and scraped together enough for titans. On turn 126, it turned out I got into a bug (feature) of the game, where building a forge and visiting the city with a hero causes the city's upgrade level to be lost, and I was left without a castle (at the same time, the cats couldn't afford it). The home advantage in GM2 gave regeneration, but I played sloppily and didn't get his main hero to 131 - with regeneration and cold, I might have been able to break through the gates. As it was, the gremlins heroically died to the druids, and GG. Thanks for the game.
