We started a week ago, I don't remember everything properly. Roads are slow, there's an external dwelling of wolves under the town, stables slightly above, a Wizard ГО, and behind them the opponent's ГО blocks the passage for the portal, phoenixes. Accordingly, I'm unlikely to break the ГО first. I cleared someone or other on a secondary hero, a necro village, behind it a Griffin Conservatory is visible, then, lacking money, I went into a medusa dwelling, there -7 wolves due to a rock. I should have been hitting the second secondary hero simultaneously, but didn't think of it then.
The decisive moment was on day 115, when I misclicked a cell in a fight with goblins, and my goblins and some wolves were killed. But I needed to go into a dwarf dwelling on the grass. I have to separate singles from the wolves, and even take some centaur. The dwarf dwelling turned out to be a 20 (well, at least not maximum). In principle, I would have broken it without particularly heavy losses, but my guys started getting morale, and I ended up with only 15 wolves. And right after that I spent 5k on a castle for some reason.
The second week passed in complete poverty, I fed a bird in the medusa dwelling, the secondary necro is blocked, the second secondary hero on the roadless terrain was never cleared. I found a couple of Pandora's Boxes, hoping for money, went for them. Both turn out to be 5k experience, well, at least there's oil. But I couldn't really afford to build the second Conservatory in time, so I left the Conservatories for the third week.
Day 131 - built what I could, and entered the Conservatory. -bird and a few wolves, +3 angels.
Day 132 - necro secondary hero, we send Tyrax there. I have air magic expert, but no Haste. And the opponent has Magic Arrow glowing, Haste would have been useful.
Day 133 - a Pandora's Box with 5k experience, a Conservatory on the grass, on the necro secondary hero, another +3 angels.
Then I went through roadless terrain onto the snow, to the center, took a pair of speed boots there and another Pandora's Box with 5k experience. I managed to get into a dead end, lost a turn. There's no Speed Boots in the pair either, but I got a flail +4 attack.
Day 141 - found a Conservatory in the second central zone, with a necro town.
Day 142 - I take the Conservatory, -7 orcs due to stupidity, but +3 angels. I take the town, again no Haste. Stables nearby.
Day 143 - I exited through the opponent's ГО, the next turn I went to meet him, brought birds and wolves, didn't have enough money for orcs and goblins.
Day 145 - the opponent attacks, final battle:
Round 1 - I deploy with Tactics, cast Oil, charge in. -almost all Grand Elves, all Dragons, and 11 Unicorns. In return, the angels get blinded. Unpleasant. I'm afraid of strong magic, oh so afraid... The opponent waits through a grandmaster pause on Wait, and casts Berserk on the birds and wolves standing nearby. The angels are blinded after all.
Round 2 - all birds and 45 wolves die from exchange of blows. Another 33 from the opponent's Lightning Bolt. In response, I dispel an angel and hit the dwarves, but hit poorly, exposing myself to the centaurs. The remaining 4 little dwarves take the retaliation, and the full stack of centaurs kills 1 angel. Unpleasant.
Round 3 - angels into the centaurs, -110 of them, the wolves finish off the Unicorns. The opponent kills another 2 angels with Lightning Bolt and decides not to continue the fight.
Thanks for the game, for the first time I experienced mass Berserk on myself online) Somehow I forgot that such a spell exists. Thanks to the opponent for reminding me.
