The Great Confrontation – reports and summaries.

BOLIVAR (red, demon, Grok) defeated GL (blue, orcs, Keegan), M3, week 7 (approximately). Grok was doing very well, although there were some losses on difficult neutral creatures, but not often. In TE, the demons were clearly given an advantage. We met our opponent around week 4; he didn't deploy all his troops and offered a truce. Then the game dragged on – a bug where an enemy creature blocked the portal had an impact. We resolved the situation, but by that time, my hero was already on the other side of the map. Then the opponent lost his main hero – he was defending an important artifact for himself (Armor of the Forgotten). By that time, Grok was level 29 with decent stats, good leadership, and good attack and defense (as my hero with the Eagle Eye skill discovered – at the time of the first meeting of the main heroes, Keegan didn't have Anti-Magic and all skill slots were already occupied). Gastello (red, elves, Ossir) defeated BOLIVAR (blue, necromancer, Orson, Zoltan), M3, week 2. The game didn't go well from the start. Unexpectedly, I started having trouble with the necromancers. I struggled for 2 weeks, and in the end, during the 2nd week, I attacked a native outpost with minimal remaining troops and lost. The opponent offered a rematch, but I refused (I don't like rematches; and there was not much point in replaying that battle). Therefore, I decided to end the game, not to waste the opponent's time. Moreover, Ossir was doing very well. My apologies to the opponent for wasting his time.
