Kolobokk (Necropolis, Lucretia) defeated Will (Ellain's Humans) on month 4, week 1, day 2.
The start was mediocre, but Will's stats suggest he had a great start. With a significant level advantage, Will dominated the game until around week 5. This period was challenging, and I received Logu very late.
Then, I seemed to catch up in terms of development by reaching a side treasury. But then, another setback occurred – Will found the complete Dragon set. This presented a dilemma: should I attack or play defensively and focus on leveling up? Attacking was still too early, as the artifacts weren't suitable. Then, I encountered Will again – luckily, he didn't have the Dragon Amulet. I decided to engage and fight, initially using some cunning tactics. Moreover, a large portion of the map was revealed, and the Dragon Amulet wasn't visible. At the same time, I continued to gather reinforcements from delvings.
It seems Will found a large number of various artifacts, and his Paladin training was in full swing. However, this came at the expense of not having Monks. I think that was a mistake.
There was an interesting situation when, during another encounter, I used the "Anti-Spell" spell, drawing on the experience from previous encounters, while he deployed his army, expecting me to use the same tactic again – it seemed to be around 80 Paladins. However, against a combination of Spectres and Black Dragons, it wasn't easy to prevail. Will bought his way out by paying 80,000 gold.
I wanted to collect the complete Dwarven set, but I was missing one item – I couldn't find it. During another attempt at a hit-and-run attack, Will decided to avoid it and attack my main castle.
He had his main stacks consisting of 55 Archangels and 175 Paladins, and 500 Archers – well, I decided to focus on eliminating the Archangels and Archers first. I managed to subdue the Paladins first, then the Archangels, and as a result, I reduced their numbers to 24 and 116, respectively, after further attacking them with Vampires.
After that, it was just a matter of technique – destroying the Archons and Archers at any cost, which I managed to do quite successfully. All three castle towers were still alive, along with the hero's attack, which replenished the necessary mana supply. From that point on, it was just a matter of time. When there were 22 Paladins left, Will surrendered.
Thank you for your patience in the final stage. It was the first time I had to take it slow in the final stage – Will was far ahead in development at the beginning, and the Dragon set was a real beast. Although, Necropolis isn't a walk in the park either.
Thank you for the game.
