Hero_of_heroes (red, Academy, Razazak) defeated Lok1978 (blue, Inferno, Mabrus) 3-1-3
I haven't played Heroes since spring, and as a result, I was terribly slow almost throughout the game.
In the beginning of the second week, I left my starting area and went to the snow, where I wandered for about a week, collecting knowledge dolmens. Realizing that nothing good awaited me there, I went to another passage, which was on the other end of my starting area. There, as in almost all starting areas except for two where I had been, there was sand, which was a pleasant surprise. After wandering there for a week, I made my way to the center, captured a gold mine, and when I had little mana left, I foolishly went home for more magic, without realizing that I was only level 19. When I was already on my way back to the center, I heard rumors (or rather, Lok told me) that Mabrus was level 25. After that, I thought the game was lost, but I started playing calmly and enjoying myself.
After clearing the center a bit, I saw Mabrus and ran home (although I could have just teleported...). He killed my secondary hero, and I was a little happy because I was only 2 levels behind him.
When I got home, I took all my army except for the genies, which I had just built and hadn't even upgraded yet, created mini-artifacts, and went to attack Mabrus, but he teleported to his city. Well, nothing to do, I decided to level up for another week and go through the Gate of the Elements. I leveled up to level 27, sacrificed a lot of artifacts, and teleported home on the first day. There, I slightly modified the artifacts, giving almost all of them triple bonuses, and went to attack the Gate of the Elements. I cleared my guard without any problems, and on the next turn, I received a message from Lok that he had lost and was surrendering... It's a pity that we didn't get to the final, I would have liked to see how it would have ended.
My hero: Razazak, level 28, 17-14-33-29-0-2
Mini-artifacts (3), all
Defense (3): Resilience, Stone Skin, Impregnable
Attack (3): Ballistics, Archery

Thank you for the game.
Mabrus turned out to be quite good, he placed 10 shooters everywhere, put regeneration and ballistics on them, and with the Sign of Chaos, he destroyed everyone. In the second week of the second month, he leveled up well, explored more than half of the map. Found 4 carts with artifacts, 3 trees. Had no problems, moved directly, and helped himself with his own hands. In general, he was looking for better artifacts, or rather, all of them from the Inferno, because he had a bad experience with mages. Moreover, Razazak with Light. As a result, the week of balance came, and I was already used to the fact that my hero's ballista almost didn't shoot without luck. I placed 12 devils against 240 imps with poison, 140 assassins, and 230 archers. And I carried all my troops with me. The imps' poison worked great, and the result was a loss.
Thank you for the game.
