To say the game was long is an understatement.
I started as usual, on 117 I built cavaliers without a citadel, on 121 I broke through the horde of cerberi guarding the prison and a chain+4. In the prison was Illeshar level 10, with Wisdom, Intelligence, Scholar, and Logistics.
Then Valeska broke through the entrance to the treasure zone, where the scout heroes were sent, while she herself ran to the neighboring zone for the second castle. Somewhere around there I also found an entrance to the underground, climbed in, and started clearing hives. Around that time, my opponent asked me to pause and offered that I surrender, because he had captured the Dimension Door scroll and had Expert Air. I disagreed, but filed that information away and stopped leveling Valeska, who was level 14 by then, but had poor skills.
I switched to Elleshar, and thanks to hives and pandoras, I reached level 17, Expert Air, and emerged from the underground at my respawn with stats 8 5 12 6 and 0 mana.
My opponent's respawn was nearby; 50+ giants separated us. Almost on the same turn that I came out of the underground, my opponent jumped over the giants, ran past my main hero, and stood next to the castle.
On the same turn, I built a level 4 mage guild, bought the growth, passed the troops and Chain Lightning to the main hero using the waiting Solmyr, who then refilled his mana from the well and attacked the enemy.
My opponent had Expert Earth with Slow, Lightning Bolt 200, but almost no troops — 120 harpies, 20 minotaurs, 30 medusas, and 50 Evil Eyes, stats 15 15 4 6.
I had 5 angels, 12 cavaliers, 30 wyverns, 52 upgraded griffins, and 6 monks.
The enemy surrounded their ranged stack with their troops, cast Expert Slow, and began to shoot me. With Slow on me, I didn't risk taking direct shots; I cast Chain Lightning for 580 damage, while the opponent cast a regular one for 200 damage.
By the end of the battle, I still had all my cavaliers and all my griffins; the opponent had about 15 medusas and Evil Eyes. The opponent bought himself back.
Leaving Valeska level 14 with a week's growth in the castle, I entered my treasure zone, and a week later I broke through the entrance from the adjacent treasure zone to the opponent's respawn and attacked his castle. In the castle sat his main hero (Shakhti) without mana and with some sort of ragtag force of 10 manticores and 1 dragon + Recanter's Cloak. Against 5 angels, 12 wyverns, 50 griffins with Haste, they couldn't do much.
Now, pay attention: The opponent is unhappy that I broke through to his respawn not through the giants, but through the treasure zone and the adjacent zone. He believes this is wrong and that I apparently should have broken through the titans or tunneled underground. I would like to convince him otherwise with your help. I am ready to upload an autosave, or a bunch of them, so that the community can study the issue of zone breakthrough and issue its authoritative verdict, which my opponent could trust. Where can I upload them?
