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

As part of the "Best of the Best" tournament, the "Spider" template, Round 7 - antonag07 (red, Hafiz, level 20) def. Legasy.0.1 (blue, Vittorio, level 21) 1 day, 2 weeks, 2 months. From the start, Orson and Nazir went hunting - they scouted adjacent territories on days 2 and 4, respectively (Ravenna and Jalib joined them a little later) - for a while, the favored undead even outpaced Hafiz in development, and I even considered changing the commander (Nura, Narhiz, or still Nazir?). But then the necessary pace of development was picked up, and he consistently outperformed the opponent in terms of parameters. On day 1 of the fifth week, an unpleasant incident occurred that seriously angered me - nevertheless, by the end of that week, I managed to break through a rather serious defense and enter the snowy zone with upgrades/a fort (and before that, I had already upgraded everyone :)) and, by all indications, I could exit through the portal to Utopia. I opened the portal (jumping into the darkness) - and found myself in the opponent's starting area... Later, it turned out that I could have captured the city on day 7, but while fighting the portal users, I exhausted the time limit, and a large reserve of unused movement points was lost. As a result, I attacked the capital on Monday and was somewhat surprised by the presence of the opponent's main hero there (I had hoped to easily storm it and add to my collection of dark spells - but in the end, I had to fight the final battle). Hafiz's development: expert racial-mirror; expert machine gun; expert summoning; expert darkness-pain bolt; higher education - scholar, attraction.
