Thank you for the game.

The sweatiest Jebus Cross, which seemed hopeless to me until FB. Kilgor took all 3 rests, I did not. With a rollback to 6700 (including the 2000 bonus), every draw gave me an external market. In the played game, on 111 I revealed an external dwelling of lions along the road and 4 hives. 3 stacks for Shakti, a spread of 7 heroes, well, I think, easy game. In reality, it turned out: no more objects, hives 4+4+4+6. In the roadless area, I found a native village, from which a road led through a bugged passage to the opponent's respawn. The lions, portaled in the village, I ingloriously sacrificed to 40 dwarves for a prison. I wanted to take 113 by attacking with Miner on 16 Nagas with Haste for a box. Quick combat showed a loss, but thanks to the terrain and timely morale, I managed to pull through without losing Troglodytes (just eyes and Harpies, the lions weren't there yet). In the box, 15K experience, Miner levels up like a god, naturally I don't take the rest. Then it gets funnier: 14 (!) scrolls, 8 shrines, 2 GM = 0 oil. Exit with a struggle on 122 via cavalry. Shakti: 12 lions, 18 Wyverns, 170 Troglodytes, mass shield, stats 18-9-6-(180). After GO, I have 11 lions, 15 Wyverns, and 70 Troglodytes. In the center, no troops at all, I only took +4+4 chest and +3+3 shield. Found a box with 8 Naga Queens, which allowed me to take a mini Dragon Utopia with a +12 shield decently. I specifically leveled Miner's resist before maxing other skills, because the opponent had various "Ciele-like" units with high magic stats highlighted. Also had Search, so in the roadless area I managed to grab +5 all stats right under the opponent's nose. Galtran appears with Arch Devils, 20+ Wyverns, superior stats, takes the central tavern, doesn't attack me, even though I had prudently exchanged money for a buyout. On my turn, I return to my respawn to pick up 2 Dragon Utopias. The 1st is mini again, with some junk... Galtran shows control, crazy stats, and on top of that 20+ Nagas... I ride 2 turns to the far corner of my respawn for the last Dragon Utopia, enter, it's mini too. But there's KW! Galtran goes along the main road to the adjacent Inferno zone. I decide to execute a cunning plan and jump from my village to the corner of that adjacent zone to capture the village and guerrilla from there. It works, I spend the night in a village in the corner of the adjacent zone. On my turn, I spot Galtran's horses sitting in an Inferno fort, unpropped. I realize this is the only chance, and I attack. There's 47 mana, I have 450+. I think, well, we're done for, apparently there's KS there... However, Kilgor casts Armageddon, which my glorious lions and magnificent Naga Queens resist. The lions even paralyze the remaining 3 Archs... I apologize to the opponent for such luck and rush to write a report. Thanks for the interesting game!

Once again, the layout poorest in meat objects was carried by a bald imba :D , no cons or hives, no artifacts for necropolis, but the computer had necro and castle; on the second one I put angels in castle, converted everything that bought well, a good maxi-Dragon Utopia, grade 3 angels, picked up a couple more utopias, stats+wings and кз, started pressing, and there was a bunch of meat, decent combat ones and an orb, as well as the ribs on the respawn that I was missing for aotd; thanks to a convenient tavern, I managed to snatch them and on the same turn crush him in the main with a bunch of miscellaneous meat (mages, gremlins, 3 archs, 500+ bones, 14 ducks) with a golden bow; spirit of despair was equipped, so Vanya had no real chance in that battle, thanks for the game.

Incredible luck. 125 Gosha: 11-18-20-(110), 600+ upg. skeletons, 3 angels, 20+ wiws, offence, earth, air... TFP!
