FireToSky (red, Rampart, UFRETIN-MUZHIK, Labetta\Craig) def wowa (blue, Castle, Rion, Damacon), 8mm6, 143

confirming :)

got a pretty compact respawn, teleport near the castle, pushing into the underground -- 2 roads: one to the opponent, the 2nd to my own AI-swamp
on the 2nd day I upgrade archers (they weren't there), push toward the AI and soon it dies
heroes run further from the swamp through lava to a dead-end village; Damacon got tactics -- decide to level him up
result of the week: horses in citadel, external dwelling of pokemons, AI has geese, confluence at respawn, confluence after the swamp when exiting to lava, observers spotted Dragon Utopia and a confluence on the way to it in the underground
week 2: village taken in another underground area, below the roads the roof of another Dragon Utopia is visible :) Damacon, taking a Hive on the way there, breaks back home for acceleration; with a dummy hero for growth along the way back of the army home, I fought off a refuge behind a horde of water elementals -- upgraded stack and near-maximum horde, fight went sideways, lost part of the horses and a goose (TE and WT vigilance makes one complacent in this regard))))
papa is already with logistics and book, through the Hive for master djinns on the swamp, runs to the first confluence and at the border of weeks takes a 3, eating a naga bank of 4 on the way
then confluence on the grass at own respawn and toward Dragon Utopia (guards for breaking it are far, so on foot, luckily the respawn is small; on the way beats a hat +4 knowledge behind zealots, and the dummy following him spots an external dwelling of angels deep in the respawn behind a pack of champions -- but the angels already left, so I build a chain to it and plan to take it with the dummy after taking Dragon Utopia in the underground; at home preparing to put in the angels
but then at the end of the week Craig arrives first, and then Labetta flies-Dimension Doors in with parameters, angels, and other power -- they killed all the dummies from the chain :(
on my turn, breaking Dragon Utopia (shield 4 to all and resist boots), I drive Craig away through the remains of the chain and stand in upgraded fly, all angels+1 - he attacks, mass haste, counter-attack with fly from angels, kill a couple and buy out on 1
then he takes the capital, then quickly reaches the swamp and runs to the last village
Damacon, having bought out in it, tries to reach Dragon Utopia via winding underground -- but I didn't know if I'd make it this turn or not, so I didn't pass resources, and entering it with the last move, spent the night on acceleration with angels -- was sure the opponent couldn't reach
nevertheless Labetta in boots with expert logistics, stables and Dimension Door, spotting shields, attacks with the last cell and ГГ, and nothing helped at that moment: movement range there is huge, no way to escape or fight back once caught anyway: opponent successfully used a couple of main heroes, got lucky with the air book, and arrived at the most inconvenient time for me, which wasn't hard in terms of searching with expert air observation

thanks to the opponent for the game and good luck in the tournament! :)
