I consider taking the Dragon Utopia on level 14 with 4 vampires to be one of my greatest achievements...

In a recent tournament, I defeated the Utopia with 8 stacks of ghosts on level 9 (maybe 10 or 11). This was on the 5th day of the tournament. In the same tournament, I couldn't defeat 300 phoenixes with 8 stacks of ghosts. I was short 1 mana at the end to cast slow, and no matter how many times I replayed, I couldn't do it. This was the most frustrating situation I've ever experienced while playing these games. Heh-heh, and I haven't even finished a single map in Heroes 5, even after playing for so long. Heroes 5 just doesn't grab me the way Heroes 4 or 3 did, and in Heroes 2, I've even played for a week straight without a break.
