Perhaps the sweatiest and most ambiguous game for me so far in this tournament. I don't remember the last time I was attacked twice in a row within 2 days, and both times I pulled through)) In short, after the rests, both of us had below-average luck. I had 3 Hives behind terrible guards, a swamp village, an external dwelling of psychos, a level-2 Griffin Conservatory, a Town Portal scroll, and a ГО a billion steps away from the castle. Somehow I eked out a start on 125. Stats were around 15-10. Army: 2 angels, 11 magi, (didn't even think about building birds on the first day; found their external dwelling near the ГО and built it on the second), 18-20 monarchs (don't remember exactly). But in the center, I immediately take a castle, find КВ and КШ, life is good! The rest of the center turned out empty — no army at all, only on the last step on 126 I took a tower with 3 phoenixes. I get attacked right away, I think it's over — their stats are 12-30 against my 21-12, but their army is even weaker, and КШ saves me. After a small exchange, Calh buys himself home. On my turn, I take the central dungeon from Andrey, chase away the losers, run around with the newly trained Labetta after the phoenix, sit in fear, knowing I'm setting myself up for a redrash. And that's exactly what happens. On 131, I get attacked with a serious power spike — not by Calh (he couldn't reach me), but by Nagash. They have a strong army advantage: 22+1 sultans, 14 cyclops, 15 pit lords, 13 wyverns, 2 angels, 36 magogs. My army: 4 birds, 4 angels, 16 monarchs, 5 magi, 1+1 air elementals. However, their stats are 5-20 with no combat skills, and -2 morale. Meanwhile, I still have 21-12, artillery (against the stronghold), all combat skills, +2 morale, +2 luck. A long and sweaty battle; in the end, I had 2 angels and 2 birds left that the pit lords couldn't reach. Thanks for the game!
