Reports on victories and defeats in online games of Heroes of Might and Magic V.

denden (Hell, Deleb) lost to Ejett (Dark, Irbeth). Letos... week 8?

Yes, that's how it was, a MOD tournament.
Day 7 of week 8, that is, exactly two months, only the template is not Letos but Sun.

The beginning was very difficult for me and my opponent, the map is very tough, in the first week there was practically no one to fight, because of this, and also because I got a little lost, the game dragged on. I started playing with Letos and Irbeth, but it turned out that Irbeth surged ahead in levels and I was already playing with her. By the end of week 3, I had built everything except the Sovereigns, but during the game, due to the skirmishes between the Minor Treasures (MT), I lost half my army each time, little by little, but by that time I had already managed to get everything for Irbeth for the ballista - a triple ballista, OS, luck with the horseshoe, at the end of the game she could take out about 10 Cyclops with one volley, which was only slightly less than the unbuffed hero's spell.
During the game, I leveled up 3 heroes:
1. Irbeth, level 25 (machines + triple ballista + tent, attack + OS, education + magic attraction, luck, chaos + deadly cold (for the Deleb ballista and not only), many artifacts - a crown of dragon teeth, a horseshoe, two artifacts +7 to attack and 3 elemental buffs - fire, water and earth)
2. Kaspar, level 19, who kindly came to the tavern, I raised upgraded vampires for him, and once raised liches that resurrect, with these troops I leveled up without losses (machines, darkness, defense, something else), he learned subjugation and vampirism in the treasure.
3. Letos, level 14 (darkness, mass slow and mass plague, logistics, I don't remember anything else), this hero fell far behind the others, he lost a lot of hydras in his skirmish.

Thanks for the game, it's a pity we didn't have a final :)
