"only XL-4"

Bought out the opponent's Luna with artifacts for 125 and used her to take the quest for fairy (artifact for 13 gr. pacifiers), the one-way gate gave a direction towards him, resignation follows. Thanks for the game!

I haven't played for almost 6 years and somehow ended up on a Heroes stream and decided to remember the game... After playing about 10 games for fun with a score of 8-2 (mostly foreigners from GameRanger on the Jebus Cross template... average opponents, center exit 124-131) I decided to sign up for a tournament... But from the looks of it, it was too early =).
So a random pair of Dungeon and Stronghold didn't suit me and I paid 500 for a regeneration... something even better comes up - Fortress-Inferno... the opponent pays 3500 for Fortress and 1100 for color... The opponent took 2 rests 111, I took 1 rest 111.
Luna arrived. Near the castle there was an external dwelling of gogs for 36 gr. lizardmen... I cleared it right away losing all the weak troops... on the way, a descent into the underground for harpies and gr. archers. 5 heroes, one of them on gold. Resources are a bit tight but tolerable for this template. With a weak hero I clear the guards of 2 chests and both give artifacts =(. Luna gets Logistics and I push into the underground... there's a road to a one-way gate and on one side the guard is blocked by Pandora's box - genies. On the other side it's clear... In short, I wandered around the underground and there I found Wings behind a horde of genies and a Cap of 5th level magic behind up to 20 Dread Knights and many hives. On a respawn I found a Ring of Speed behind a pack of Thunders, 2 hives, and a Dragon Utopia. I build Efreeti, buy 2 of them and a weak hero, and he clears another external dwelling of gogs for 30 gr. lizardmen and recovers resources... And then the fails start =) while clearing orcs I lose 1 Efreeti due to constant morale from those bastards... at the start of week 2 I decide to clear the Thunders and take the ring... The Thunders with morale and lightning kill 2 Efreeti. The situation isn't so fun anymore... in the stack 70 gogs, 1 Efreeti, and a stack of imps. I level up Luna's fire to Expert and with a weak hero recover a Breastplate of Magic Power. I haven't played Luna before but I've seen streams and decided to try without bypassing to kill the guard of a Dragon Utopia of 40 gr. griffins. I took the Efreeti with me on which I had speed boosted (but I should have just waited and taken 1 imp from the weak hero) and what was my surprise when I place a wall of fire and the griffins just skip their turn =)). I decide to place a wall for defense and then strike with lightning... but I only have 40 mana and I see it won't be enough... I decide to just kill another slot of griffins and run... that's when the griffins punished me - morale and they kill the Efreeti in a couple of hits... Loss of the main hero with the ring and breastplate and 1 Efreeti... no money... troops are only gogs... the situation is grim and only the scouted treasure zone with chocolate keeps me from resigning... trade all resources and buy Pyre and with her I clear resources bit by bit... And the opponent is already taking half an hour per turn =) clearly doing better... on 131!!! I take a Dwarven Treasury, it turns out minimal =( the opponent already has 2 castles and later I see him on a neighboring grass respawn with 20-49 Wyverns =(... I clear a teleport and decide to take the first spire, buying 9 pits. If I hadn't messed up I'd already be moving around with wyverns too and maybe even flying with wings... but as it is, the tempo is killed and there are no troops and no hero either... And then Tazar pops up in that treasure zone where my chocolate is =) as if he knew... I decided not to drag it out and resigned... Thanks for the game! :smile34:
