Abusoleira (death) win Zybr (order) (8 min, expert) Heart of winter 146
It was a very enjoyable match :) And he was very lucky, but let's go over everything in order:D
So, he gave me order on the cherub, which was already a waste:)
From the start, he has hobbits and sorceresses, an order mage with the "accuracy" spell (not in the guild). It seems like everything is great, the opponent didn't restart - we're playing.
Here, I made a slight mistake, I should have revealed the second castle with the order mage (it turned out to be death) and played through death mages. Instead, I played through one life mage (not a very good option in these conditions). In general, everything is as usual - the main army (gnomes, hobbits, and 1 mage) goes to the castle, nagas with the second hero + 3 single mages and single gnomes take the gloves (a kind of second front). Then the order mage kills the mantis, a demon brings the gloves, and on day 114, the whole group takes the sorceress's lair (titans are stationed on day 113). Then, with two sorceresses, hobbits, and gnomes, they go to the gold mine. On day 115, I break through without even trying (mass slow + fear) and take it on day 116. From the major artifacts, I got the robe of the guardian (my last bit of luck on the map) and the lava armor. I defended the first one at the end of the week, but I didn't take the armor. The spells are a nightmare. There's no dispel anywhere, no exorcism, and no illusions or phantoms. If I had a phantom, I would have broken the second portal, but instead, I had to level up more. I see that the opponent's army is growing rapidly - so he has a secondary town (it turned out to be true + venom lairs and KDs O_O).
In general, at the beginning of the third week, I took the third castle (a day later than the opponent). Then I captured one gold mine; I see that the opponent's income is significantly higher - so he has one extra gold mine - so he sailed to the island. Fortunately, the secondary town gives berserk (and the fourth level of order practically gave me everything, twice teleport!). The life mage with level 4 is unlucky - everywhere is prayer, and on the third, they didn't give mass exorcism! Hoping to get something good, I raided the tower of mages, but they gave me all sorts of useless things. Having berserk in my pocket, I went to attack the portal (it's the third week). I broke through, entered the center, ate him the next day, then teleported home. The next day, I return (by the way, I ran the whole game without a runner and, strangely enough, it was enough:)) to the center and attack the guard of the second portal. If I broke through the first one confidently and "cleanly," then here my bad luck struck. I have +6 morale and 3 opportunities to cast mass slow, and the portal has - you know. But the pyromancer goes first (the morale, damn it, received the only one) and kills 2 sorceresses and the order mage, standing in cover (it doesn't matter for the hero). For a couple of seconds, I was stunned, lost control, and lost another sorceress (in the end, 3 out of 4 (this also affected the outcome)). But then I regained control and, without any other losses, finished off the cursed pyromancer's brothers. I crawl out, all battered, from the portal with almost full mana. Then I decided to take a risk (the opponent probably didn't see my movements in the center) and went to his secondary town. I take it, replenish my mana, and resurrect the hero, send out dogs for reconnaissance (all the demons were bought). I see that the regeneration armor and the tree of experience have not been taken. I went there. The opponent appears. He is slightly ahead of me in development for some reason. In the tree, I get two grand mages (life and order) and teleport home for the artifacts (which I shouldn't have done, but I didn't know the opponent's trump cards at the time). The opponent takes back his castle, kills all my partisans, and goes to the center. I take more titans (in the end, 8), 1 sorceress, and go to the center, where we met. The opponent had time to level up on the partisans and two trees, we were on par in levels, but he didn't have any grand mages. He played through chaos and death, but (!) somewhere he got the book of order, and as a result, the shadow mage also had it, which I didn't expect at all.
He had more troops, 14 dragons and 33 venoms, but I wasn't very afraid of that.
In the battle with morale, I was lucky as always, and the sorceresses were killed right away. But then everything was decided by the infamous book of magic of order. Calmly calculating the plan of action for chaos + death, I didn't expect order at all. As a result, it was not possible to neutralize the enemy's warriors, and I lost. It's a bit disappointing, of course, but there's not much you can do against such a situation.
But I enjoyed the game, it wasn't straightforward. And I had a chance. If I hadn't teleported home for the artifacts, but had simply met the under-leveled enemy. But I wanted to play it safe, and in the end, I paid the price:)
In general, thank you for the game, it was great :)
