Confirmed by phirpo

Although forces seemed to be of equal strength, Jean ended up in a crucial position with 2 stacks. Anyway, I wont tell here what considerations led me to surrender, instead I will report two interesting observations: 

Jean got shock missle and after this, his drones could not be beaten by my ravens anymore. (Since my AI did not use spells.)  I tried it 2-3 times. This led to the situation, that there were soon many around my fortresses. He even used a stack of drones to destroy a fortress. This led to a even bigger gold income problem. But furthermore it took very much needed casting points away and diminished my scouting possibilities. I think, this situation cannot be highlighted enough.

In the last turns of the game, we virtually had a snowball-competition. Which i lost strikingly. With my rogue leader and another bard, i managed to convert only 1 unit out of 3 structures. While Jean was very successful with his necromancer hero. He also was lucky to gain two tier3 units from an inn. Another story about conversions: till roughly turn 26 or 29 i was not able to convert any tier3 unit at all, if i remember correctly, but then i had a period where i was quite successful. However, earlier success with it would have allowed me to clear some important structures on the way. Well, i guess, games of conversion classes are quite volatile...

I had 2 cities and 3 vassal cities. 1 vassal outpost or village was destroyed by Jean. Still i had an income of -80 to -110gold at the later stages of the game. I was utterly dependent on clearing structures. Hence I dont see a problem with the no-city-economy since the increase in upkeep of converted units...

The report
The game was fine in my opinion. Phirpo scouted very well and it was impossible for me to organize a hidden attack. That's why I decided not to attack at all, play in defensive style and build my empire. In this game I definitely outplayed him in economics (I built 4 cities which - with grey guard master - gave me a huge amount of gold). He was relying on fortresses and I was lucky to destroy some of them with drons. 
Once again he played well in tactical battles, I spotted him several times taking these objects.

I myself was busy slowly clearing my undeground.

When I learned that half of his army was far away I managed to send a invisible sorcerer stack to him. There was also a level 10 necromancer hero who managed to ghoul some units.
Thank you for the game, Phirpo.
Looking forward to starting our team game soon.
