After saving at a low timer, I didn't have time to do everything as planned. As a result, after another save, I didn't catch the opponent with the Amulet of the Elements, who was in a vulnerable position. And on the next turn, he moves into the treasure room where I was supposed to be. When, after the opponent's turn, I move Dess into the room, I only find a Losh with Wings. Everything is cleared out. For some reason, I don't teleport back home. I had about 20 seconds to make a decision. And rather brazenly, I put on the Boots of Speed instead of the +2 All stats boots, I don't put on the Elixir, but leave on the gloves + Ring +1 speed. I'm ahead in terms of army. I wasn't particularly afraid. Although I knew there was a Knight. I didn't suspect AOTD, no matter what. The opponent's stats on Shakti were 18 18 12 12. I just didn't believe in AOTD. Especially since I myself have 3 pieces from the set. But that wasn't the case. When the opponent attacked me in the treasure room, I was shocked when that cursed Necromancer artifact triggered. I thought, "That's it..." Dess, with all my artifacts after the Bible, only has 16 16 combat stats and no offense with the basic tactic. Well, at least she had armor - that's good. The opponent, of course, used his tactic to protect his archers and, with high morale and luck, tried to overwhelm the stack of 120 Monarchs on the battlefield. But he didn't quite succeed.

If he had a +2 speed cloak and at least 2 units to remove the negative effects, I think he would have won. But the +2 speed cloak was on the artifact market in the first month, and for some reason, both I and my opponent forgot to buy it because of the saves. But the game turned out to be interesting!

Thank you for the game!
