Paid 1000 for the castle and 1000 for the color, 500 to Vitaly for the re-roll of a pair (seemed like barb-dungeon). So I started at -3500. I took 1 rest, my opponent took all 3, then there were a couple more techs, and finally we started playing. Goshi came in as the 3rd hero with 2 stacks. Despite total lack of money and underworld, my conscience wouldn’t allow me to rest Goshi. On the first week, I went to necro and grab resources in the depth of the spawn, while leveling up the pope. By 121 I had 100+ skeletons, the external dwelling gives arch! I thought it was a cakewalk and went straight on the attack while necroing on the side. However, on the large territory I found only 1 mini-Griffin Conservatory and an entrance to a super-treasure zone, which I couldn’t enter yet. I arrive at the opponent’s in the middle of the second week and was stunned. He has wings on the ground and more skeletons than I do. Plus a stack of vives. And by the end of the week, his stats were twice as high as mine. Sad. However, I split my troops in parallel, grabbed all possible resources, and built/rebuild the Mage Guild. Dimension Door on the 2nd try, Town Portal on the 3rd – an excellent result! Went into the lategame. Vitaly roamed treasures (turns out, not very successfully), while I mostly leveled up losers to have more heroes with mana/TP/DD. As they say, I spread the "tentacles of FTS" across the map. I wanted to go for a 211 standard REdrash but didn’t make it in time because I got distracted by a loser for the Golden Bow. And not in vain. On 212, the FB at the barbarian’s castle actually happened, and the Golden Bow performed quite well against the eyes and the ballista. The fight took place under Vitaly’s cloak, and he, of course, immediately destroyed my catapult. It turned into an exchange of bolts. I had more mana and power. Thanks for the interesting game!
