Well, I managed to pull it off! But this is my first tournament, and if something went wrong, I'll try again. In general, I started by diligently building up my army, explored the entire map, captured the upper Rampart and Necropolis on the other side, and then descended through the Dungeon to the city. I figured out the portal later. Honestly, I didn't think that this map required some trickery; I guess I'm used to regular scenarios. But it's okay; there will be more tournaments ahead! :)
Wow, I'm not even in last place.

Do you mean the move with the Thieves and getting the "Summon Ship" spell?
