I think most of your defeat reports start like "I had bad starting conditions". Look at other top players' reports and they never or rarely complain about that.
ps: gab arrived with 5-6 wyvern from his dragon dwelling, 1 king shock serpent at gold medal, a few tier3, but mostly other tier2 of which some were at gold rank too
dont really feel like taking much credit for this defeat, as i played as efficient as i could but the starting conditions were clearly not in my favor.Â
the first few turns were good (1-5 ca.), i leveled up fast, sacrificing 1 or maybe 2 units for the purpose. but then: the second orc city of town-size was hostile to me. now i had a big problem. because there werent any other structures to clear within a 2turn distance or so, but i needed more easy structures to become stronger. i tried to entice the AI with a unit into leaving the city and attacking me. but they didnt and i wasted a turn like this. i thought i needed this town now in order to remain in schedule. but it was quite well defended: 2 orc priests, 2 black knights, 1 infantry and several tier1 irregular at least. i had not more than 6 units, of which two were cherubs, and i lost everything apart from leader, hero and cavalry in that fight. at least i had the town then. of course the whole development went really slow from then on. but not only that orc town was hostile to me, also the nearby naga dwelling. no quest until mid-20-turns.Â
i cleared defensively, because i expected gab in the 20s at last. but he didnt show up. finally i decided sent my evangelist-crusader-stack into the ug, because thats where the nearest structures were. and they cleared quite well. eventually i got a spirit elemental in turn 32, after having cleared 2 towers and 1 sanctum. but that did help anymore because gab arrived with all heros and 22 other units + lots of crows on the brink of my base. my ug troop was too far away and would have never been back in time, even if gab didnt kill my cherubs some turns earlier, which i sent because i knew he was coming with something and even though i built A LOT of roads just to speed up my progress and be on the safer side defensively.Â
