"Well, I couldn't, I just couldn't" :)\

It was a very interesting game, I really enjoyed it. Due to the time difference, we played in 4 sessions, each lasting about 3 hours. So, I did very well in a couple of sessions, but I messed up in a couple of others. It's a pity that one of the failures happened in the last one :)\
In general, at the start, I had good accuracy in the Castle, 3 Dwarf dwellings, 2 Golem dwellings, but in the quest, I got Halflings, which is good. On the nearest tower, there are catapults with Squires. I plan to join and enter the tower. I stumble on Orcs and lose 10 Halflings, which is unpleasant. On the 2nd day, I placed Mages in the Castle, added them to the army, but still don't have enough to join, which is a shame. I think I'm going to lose right away :) I somehow manage to finish, and my army consists of 77 Halflings, 51 Dwarves, and 5 Golems. But in the tower, I get 2 Nagas, which immediately compensates for all the losses. Next, I join Harpies, two Djinn dwellings, Djinns on a 4th-level Shrine, boots, and the Castle. At the end of the 6th day, the first session is over, and everything is quite good; my opponent is behind. Which is logical, as it's not easy to start with Nature.\
Second session. Everything seems decent, I didn't waste much time anywhere, and I got the Market on the 7th day. However, my opponent suddenly takes the lead. As I later saw, he has a 2nd-level Castle with terrible troops, but his 3rd-level Castle is quite good, with Unicorns almost everywhere. Plus, by the time he took the Market, he already had a good Demonologist, which I think helped him a lot. Towards the end of this session, I really mess up, losing about a dozen Harpies in one battle (and I had 48 of them, from 3 stacks, which is a good force), and in another, I completely lose a Titan from the Market. But at the start, I find a Portal, build it, and the session ends with a fast Mage standing a couple of steps away from the last altar for the Master.\
Third session. I finish learning the Master, kill the fast unit and the existing Priest (without 2 upgrades for the Grand Master), take the corpses back to the start, resurrect them, train them, jump back, join another stack of Nagas, and head out. My army: Tactician, fast unit with decent Magic, the Priest mentioned earlier, 7 Titans, 31 Nagas, 32 Djinns, 63 Harpies. I go to the tower, nothing interesting, but there are Sorceresses with Nagas nearby. I detach the Harpies and reinforce my army with the Sorceress and 3 Nagas. I also kill the 3rd-level Castle near the chests and see a purchased Order book on the opponent's side (!). I stand before breaking through. On that side, I see movement, but nothing appears except for a fake unit, hooray. I break through, take the book.\
Session 4. I see a lot of activity at my entrance, i.e., my opponent broke through the second passage. I dump all the extra artifacts in the Castle, upgrade the Mage, but I'm still missing 1 level. I take the Titans and Djinns (my opponent somehow reorganized his troops, but it's even better for my army), and teleport. Here, on a time crunch, I make the main mistake. Visually, I thought that I would teleport from the Castle closest to the exit to the second one, not to the start. And when I ended up in the start, there was almost no time or turns left to get to the 2nd one, and there are Skeletons. However, for some reason, I teleport the Portal to the Castle at the exit and take a few steps towards the unkilled Megas, where there was an Order altar. That's when my opponent catches up with me.\
I have:\
Tactician, Master of Order, Grand Master of Life with Resurrection, 7 Titans, 34 Nagas, and 48 Djinns.\
He has:\
Tactician, Grand Master of Death and Grand Master of Nature, Master of Nature, 1 Mega, 1 Cherub, 6 Manticores, and 47 Unicorns.\
The battle was long and difficult. In essence, the difficulties arose when the teleport was resisted from the Manticores, which were holding the Nagas. In the end, everything revolved around my heroes..., the Titans were blocked by the Mega, the Nagas were held by the Manticores (I noticed something: if you attack the Manticore holding a unit, but it kills the attacking unit with a hit, for example, summoned wolves by the Priest, then the link is not removed... I didn't know that). I managed to resurrect the heroes a couple of times, even killed his Tactician... but I completely forgot about the sacrifice; if I had remembered, I would probably have killed the Demonologist first. But as it was, I had a chance, it wasn't my strongest final army. But "I couldn't, I just couldn't" :)
