BOLIVAR (blue, Necromancer Zoltán) defeated Lok1978 (red, Elf Ilfina) 2-4-7.

At first, things were going well for me, but then it turned out that I was playing on this map for the first time (as were many others, in general) and I went in the wrong direction. In the center, I met an elf and thought I could take him by surprise... Ha... He passed on troops in a chain and hit me hard, there was smoke everywhere. I was level 22, he was level 24, I think.
I bought my way out as soon as I could - otherwise I would have fled earlier - I was also pulling troops towards me in a chain, but I didn't make it. At first, I wanted to surrender, but then I decided to continue. Naturally, I started to fall behind in development. But I gradually gathered troops, and again, developed the skills I wanted. And then an elf with a full set of items came to visit my city. I used a scout with the "Uncover Secret" ability and saw his artifacts - just one full set of dwarven armor is worth something, a full set of unicorn bow artifacts, a ring of +10% initiative, and I don't even count the rest. Not to mention the advantage of his army in terms of numbers. Plus, he has "Death Stride," teleport, and mass rebuke (my mass slow was blocked by his artifacts). He was level 31, I was level 27 or 28, I don't remember. In general, I'm telling you all this in detail to highlight my hero, Zoltán, and not myself. If it were another necromancer, there would probably have been no chance. But Zoltán blocked his spells after each use, and that decided the matter. The main thing for me was to survive the beginning of the battle. Then the "Enslave" spell worked - I was lucky - he had magic resistance and boots. Before that, there was mass confusion. Then Phoenix, then 2 wasp nests - otherwise, he was moving his hero around the map very quickly with his "Empathy" skill (by the way, this nest consumes a lot of mana). In general, it turned out that I gradually started to gain the upper hand, and then he was forced to buy his way out - because the elf was left without spells and a lot of mana. We moved the game to the 3rd day - it was already 4 a.m., and I was supposed to go to work. On the 3rd day, everyone was tired, he suggested meeting in the center, and I agreed (besides, this was added to the rules, and I was already heading towards his city - I had more troops now). We met, and again I was lucky - the "Enslave" spell worked. Then I removed his antimagic with messengers. And then everything went according to the previous scenario. The elf surrendered.
Lok1978 is a good, skilled player, but he was very unlucky in the final. In theory, he should have won.

P.S. Damn, my game crashed 4-5 times due to an error. 3-4 times it happened on the opponent's turn, and once on my turn. Before, crashes happened - well, once a month. Or twice. But 5 times in one game... I don't know what could be the reason.
