During an online game, a very interesting final battle took place with a large army and numerous parameters; the only drawback was that the magic didn't quite match the pace of development, but this shortcoming was compensated for by "wonderful" artifacts. In general, I'm posting the save file, and your main task is as follows: 1. Determine who is stronger in this battle, "Gunnar" or "Vidomina."
Additionally, you can try to minimize the losses of the winning side *
* - There will be two nominations for the second point, and the more prestigious one will be the one where the battle was fought between two human players (which both players should report). But a duel between a human and the computer is also accepted and will have its own winner. Both options are welcome...
Notes:
Load the save file for two players (if you are testing with a real opponent) or for one player (if you are playing against the computer). Attack on the same day that is loaded from the save file.
You can only use the army and artifacts that the hero (Gunnar) has available on the day of the save.
Please ask all questions in a private message or on ICQ (466-212-416). A poll has been added to the topic, which will close on December 21, 2007.
A strong request to everyone who has viewed the save file to vote.
P.S. The final answer will be given after the poll closes.

First, I rushed and agreed with Forrest :) . But then I thought about it and I accept your challenge. I'm ready to win 10 out of 10 games with Gunnar.
But, this will only be the case if the troop arrangement is not changed. In this case, Vidomina won't make a single move in battle, and not only will Gunnar win, but he will win without the slightest losses. Let's talk tactics. The first move: berserker attacks angels, skeletons, and ghost dragons. The goal is to kill all of Vidomina's troops without letting her make a move at all. Black dragons kill black knights, angels attack liches, and 10 liches remain. Ghosts, under the berserker's attack, attack vampires; they retaliate, and 16 vampires remain. Scorpikors kill the ghosts. Vidomina's angels, under the berserker's attack, attack skeletons and die in retaliation. Eyes with harpies finish off the liches, and minotaurs kill the vampires. That's it; Vidomina is left with only a stack of skeletons under the berserker. Next, we summon fire elementals, use them to negate the retaliation from the skeletons, and attack with everything. 3-4 rounds, and the skeletons are dead again :) .
Losses: only the summoned fire elementals. Gunnar has a large advantage in troops, so there's no need to even think about who to kill first. Therefore, one of the conditions of the task is practically useless. Whether playing against the computer or a person, it's all the same; they won't even make a single move with Vidomina. =))

At first, I rushed and agreed with Forrest :) But then I thought about it and I accept your challenge. I'm ready to win 10 out of 10 games with Gunnar (though maybe 9 out of 10 if I rush).
But, this will only be the case if the troop arrangement is not changed. In this case, Vidomina won't make a single move in battle, and not only will Gunnar win, but he will win without the slightest losses. It's all about tactics, with everyone moving forward. The first move is a berserk attack on the angels, skeletons, and ghost dragons. The goal is to kill all of Vidomina's troops without letting her make a move at all. Black dragons kill the black knights, angels attack the liches, leaving 10 of them. Ghosts under berserk attack the vampires, they retaliate, and 16 vampires remain. Scorpikors kill the ghosts. Vidomina's angels under berserk attack the skeletons and die in retaliation. The eyes with harpies finish off the liches, and the minotaurs kill the vampires. That's it, Vidomina is left with only a stack of skeletons under berserk. Next, we summon fire elementals, use them to remove the retaliation from the skeletons, and attack with everyone. 3-4 rounds and the skeletons are dead again :)

Not bad, a clever idea. A victory with no losses.

Offline isn't my thing :) I'll pass!

You don't even need to summon elementals. I simply cloned the medusas and eyes and shot down the skeletons under the berserker. An easy victory without losses!

In this battle, the main thing is to eliminate all troops except the stack of skeletons in one round. And then, how you kill the berserked skeletons is up to each player's imagination, because it's not at all difficult.

I don't know, I don't know... has anyone who agreed with this tactic actually tried it?
1. Armageddon destroys almost all of Gunar's troops.
2. There's such a thing as antimagic.
3. Vidomina also has resurrection.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Well, as I understand it, the trick is to prevent Vidomina from taking her turn, which means it doesn't matter that she has Armageddon, antimagic, and resurrection, etc.

In this battle, the main thing is to eliminate all troops except the stack of skeletons in one round. And then, how you kill the remaining skeletons is up to each individual, as it doesn't present any particular difficulty))
