Started with Shakti, got a fast single-unit creature, took it. Izra came and gave him an angel, and then started not attacking. Got 8 mermaids, a Knight Vanguard appeared, and 30+ stats.
The opponent with control was jumping around the map and taking castles, so I decided to attack. I approached his castle, and he decided to defend.
In the final battle, with 2700 skeletons + magic, I won.
