WhiteLizard (Blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) def Slav4eG (Red, Stronghold, Greg Hag, Greg Hag) 2sm4d(3) 232
As you can see, it was a clash of principles - Master of Defense vs. Master of Attack. I'll say right away that the confrontation was equal and the outcome of the game was decided by incredible RNG.
Although my start was quite lucky (by day 1 I already had 40 gnolls, 20 lizards, and 2 geese), I played terribly own-headed. For the first 3 days I didn't even have any battles, and on 121 I set up a chain and forgot to take the army from the castle with my primary hero) But then I took Conflux, freed Kira lvl 10, who was scouting the map and saw Greg Hag with 1 beast. And here I made the most terrible mistake: instead of attacking with 40 mana and hitting twice with Chain Lightning, I ran to a well, and with horror realized that I no longer had enough movement! Result: Hag was given a large army; he wiped out Kira, who only managed to hit once and run away. Then Hag took Conflux on 127. I set up a chain of 4 heroes and by 131 Tazar was approaching the Conflux. Slavcheg decided to enter the town and built up the Stronghold. And then I attacked with all the swamp creatures, especially 16 upgraded geese, 50 dragonflies, and 30 great basilisks. He had 11 ifrits, 16 ruhs, 5 beasts, etc., from those castles. In the end, nothing was left of the walls) and as for troops, I had 18 basilisks and one gorgon, while the opponent had 2 ifrits. Essentially he would have won, since I had zero Basic Attack, and the ifrit could have run away forever. But. He attacked the gorgon, and I caught him)
But then Gundula arrived and I retreated around the Conflux

The arrow shows Gundula's movement. When she captured the Conflux, I took my army and dove into the dungeon, where there was an empty Inferno castle, and came out through another exit. All this time Gundula is running across the swamp with a mixed army of demons and orcs. Well, not running, more like crawling) I soon find Slavcheg's capital and attack.
Now here was an interesting moment. I had no ranged units, only 4 geese, who soon died. And then Slavcheg decides to run out of the castle, which was a gift for me! A brutal slugfest ensues, my same-side castle towers take me down, but in the end I am left with 1 hydra with 80 HP, and Slavcheg has 2 orcs 20+16=36 HP. If the hydra doesn't wipe out the orcs (it deals 20-45 damage), then I'm toast from the towers. I close my eyes, cross my fingers, hang garlic around my neck, spit 3 times)... and... open one eye - voila! Battle won!))) On that same turn, the opponent takes my capital without much trouble. Then I capture another castle and by 227 run to the dungeon, in which Gundula had already taken Inferno; on 231 via a chain I take the Stronghold growth + 7 ifrits. And I go after Gundula with a swamp-barbarian-demonic army. By that time I already had Earth at expert + slow + shield. What can I say, Tazar + Expert shield is something else!
30% (shield) + 5*5% (special) + 15% (exp skill) = -60% damage!!!
His 7 ifrits were killing only 3 of my orcs! The battle went with not very large losses, and on 232 I took Inferno.
After that Slavcheg decided to surrender, thinking that I would "win sooner or later". Well, quite reasonable; without a tank hero and a decent army, plus I could have easily reached the swamp)
But I want to note that I broke the rules once out of ignorance. I hit with Kira's Chain Lightning without a lvl 4 guild, but I think one cast wouldn't have changed much. Slavcheg pointed out the violation but declined a replay.
Well, thank you very much, I got a lot of pleasure from the victory.
And this is essentially my first online game!)
