OK, LET’S PLAY.

Finish the game with Wolf first; you don't have much left, right?

Yes. Having witnessed the SCUD-storm

I think you and Amka will make it to the next stage, as long as you don't get lazy and don't receive a technical defeat after the first stage ends. I would like to meet you on the battlefield.

Looks like you’re an optimist, just like me!

Also, this is all messed up; we have heroes without armies. I'm going to run away, go home, and right now it's gold week, so I'll finally buy some armies, because I've been running around with a bunch of druids like some kind of mage. I have a hundred dragonflies and a lot of other stuff in my castle).

I actually have 30 lizards and a couple of dragons :-\

that's what you have in your armies, and it's not just them, there are others there too.
And in my armies, I only have about 40 Druids, who I actually need to be alive :3, and 99 Nymphs. And some Dancing Spirits.

You can’t win a game just by talking.

Yeah, Vis will be here soon and kill me Х(

Alright, I've made up my mind, I'm heading to Wolfgard! Prepare for defeat!

You will get lost in the magical elven forests, as they don't like strangers. You will be hunted by elven archers to the very heart of the forest, where the Moon Wolf Imaris lives, you will lose all your companions and die in disgrace from the Wolf's paw.
Although, no, it's an honor to die from my paw!

Lordesat (blue, Necromancer) def. Arandor (red, Haven)
We decided to play according to our agreement: I would play as Necromancer, and Arandor would play as Haven. I chose Zoltan as my main hero. Arandor chose Axel. The game wasn't particularly long, as we were both in adjacent zones. I have to admit, I got some good artifacts, although Arandor also had some decent ones. The only downside was that there weren't many good neutral creatures; we mostly summoned skeletons. Around week 2, month 2, I broke through the guard and went after Arandor. I searched for him for a while. It turned out that there was a mentor in his zone, but not in mine. So, without much hesitation, I attacked him. It was almost without losses, only the undead suffered. In general, if I had some good spells, like Dispel, I would have attacked much earlier. But it was good enough as it was.
Thanks for the game, Ar. You played well.

You were being modest when you said you weren't playing well. In my opinion, you have a good chance of winning. As for the game, yes. The dungeon was poorly designed (it was the same as the first restart), and it was located nearby, which naturally affected the game. If we had been on different levels and in opposite corners, I would have had more time to build up my army. There were few useful artifacts, such as the dwarven set or boots of resistance, because they are good against dark magic, and without them, I suffered a lot of curses, even though I was a mage. My magic resistance was low. In general, magic definitely hindered me, especially vampirism and raising the dead. I didn't even reach the mentor, I was one step short =\ very sad. The game took about 5 hours.

Yes, you definitely need to level up light magic in the game against necromancers.

Does anyone know anything about error 0.2.0?
