The “Farewell, Valya and Shakhter!” tournament (starting hero is chosen randomly).

PReDS(blue, Conflux, random, Pasis, Rissa:D ) def Javdet(red, Rampart, random, Ufretin, Gunnar), ballance, 136.

1:0.

Ufretin and a direct teleport to the Town Portal under the castle (which decided the outcome). There was also a 111 in reserve, but Gunnar and the elf external dwelling - I'll play. As it turned out, that was all the pleasant things awaiting me. There were no crystals, and by the end of the week with two markets, I still managed to set up the fort with cavalry. Midway through the second week, it turned out I could only roam vertically from bottom to top, then to the neighboring respawn and top to bottom:D , in short, to get to the center I'd need at least a week of travel, and not a single stable. No canned goods, no hives of stat-boosting artifacts were found:smile18: After much hardship, I barely managed to level earth magic and on day 134 I breached the Town Portal for the Guardian Wyverns with only 20 mana - they devoured all the Centaurs. Behind the teleport were champions; I replenished mana and attacked the next day, already seeing blue flags, but there was no other choice - there was simply nowhere to run. I should have returned to the castle (or maybe not - the opponent starts living on the teleport, and I had nothing to counter their reinforcements), but instead I went for the Pandora's Box (only 5k exp) and immediately the scout hero took the capital. I attacked Rissa hoping she lacked mass haste - but she had both mana and water and air spells... GG.
The post-mortem revealed a web of roads to all the other castles for blue, and several canned goods.

Thanks for the game.
