oneman (mages, Jalib+minor(Vlad, Vingraël, Narkhiz, Hafiz)) defeated dwp (dungeon, Nimus+Grol) Letos 2-1-3
There were no restarts.
From the start, Jalib and Vlad appeared. Actually, that's where the lucky circumstances of this game ended. Opponent had Nimus and Grol, plus Razzak was spotted. A gremlin dwelling and two guardhouses were discovered. I took the guardhouses on week 1, they turned out to be titans+rakshasas and mages. If I had known that lineup, I would have definitely restarted, but that was just the beginning. On day 4, I break through the first adjacent zone, send a scout roach there, immediately see it's a long dungeon zone, and a poor one at that. With Jalib, I go to take the guardhouses, while Vlad cleans the native zone in the meantime. On day 8, I break through the second adjacent zone - another narrow passage, now snow. But I have no money left at all, no room to maneuver, so I went in there with 2 colossi and 90 gremlins. I took a dwarf dwelling, attack a crypt - max roll. Had enough mana, got out almost without losses. Meanwhile, Vlad also ran up to a crypt. Well, I thought, there can't be two max rolls in a row... yeah, right. That's where Vlad died with all the undead, mages, and elementals.
Jalib wasn't given a log and, out of desperation, trudged along the snowy narrow passage hoping to finally find a passage with 30 defense. Obviously, he was 4-5 days of travel along the road, and since I also had to somehow gather money, I reached the passage somewhere around week 3. It turned out to be sand, but fairly rich, and another narrow passage leading back to my first adjacent zone at the far end. At that point, I could have retreated to the castle, but there was no point since there was nowhere to get money, and everything near the castle for several days had been cleared out. I ran forward. On week 3, I sent Ving with 3 titans to meet Jalib and clear the first adjacent zone. Hafiz with another couple of titans headed to the gargoyle dwellings standing in the corners. With that many titans, I could have amassed millions, if there had been any resource nodes on my territories, but as it was, I was always struggling.
My mood wasn't particularly lifted by a message around week 3 from the opponent saying he had two level 20 heroes, while my Jalib was level 15. Week 4 gave me -2 morale and luck. Although it got a little easier when the opponent lost 9 devils to neutrals. By the end of week 4, Jalib met up with Ving and retreated to the castle. An unpleasant surprise was that the artifacts were lost upon retreat, even though I could have passed them along. On turn 2-1-1, using the staircase, I transferred everything that was moving around the map to Jalib in the castle, equipped some minor artifacts, and with 14 titans, 400 gremlins, and 20 yellow stools, I went into the nearest portals. Immediately, I learned from bitter experience that the stool aura works on your own units too, and lost 60 gremlins. I broke through into a resource zone cleared by the opponent and sent a scout there. The next day, I broke through into another resource zone. There was no one there yet, but after spending a day there with Jalib and the roach, I didn't see anything good, and time was running out. I portaled back to the castle and was about to go fight the GO. I needed to take advantage of the fact that it was a week of water strengthening, and I was on all ice and with a pendant. But on the same turn, the opponent lost Grol along with the demonesses and surrendered.
I don't know how it would have ended without that surrender, but honestly, I was overwhelmed by the territory, and the opponent by the neutrals.
Many thanks for the game. Even though we didn't get to meet, the game was very instructive for me.
