3rd offline tournament

I understand. We were playing different games. :)
I have a few questions: why centaurs? Moandor is a specialist in vampires. Where did the vampires come from here?

Is this something unclear? Not centaurs, but crusaders. A strange typo, apparently nprf was thinking about something else at that moment.
Moandor is a specialist in liches. Vampires are for Wokial!

I looked at the arena and was surprised...
I realized that Pred focused on Liches.
Nprf and Paladin focused on Heroes (AND THE ARMIES ARE REMARKABLY SIMILAR!!!). Really head-to-head, both in terms of the army and the parameters.

I thought about it, and indeed:
I spent all my resources on building units, and forgot about the heroes.
They did the opposite!
And in the end, I couldn't buy what I was building! And they, by developing their Hero, fully realized him in the Arena.
Potentially, my army should be 30% larger.
The army I assembled is 5 times stronger than the armies in 2nd and 3rd place, but their Heroes are 20 times better!

CONCLUSION: in this situation, it was necessary to develop the Hero, not the army.
I only have one question for NPRF: where did you get your bows?

I don't understand, where is our arena? Natasha didn't post it. Probably the bows are from the arenas of previous rounds! In this save, Elwind's bow and the string are not there!
It was necessary to build no more than 2 types of 7th level troops, that's a fact, and it was also necessary to bypass all the attack and defense upgrades.

In the second round, I missed a lot, including raising demons. Can someone explain to me in detail how to raise them correctly, achieving the maximum result?

Demons are an expensive pleasure, unlike free liches. Therefore, the task is to first accumulate as much money and pitlords as possible.
As far as I remember, from the third week, their increase was 26 per week due to the development of Nimues in the game on TE.
By the end of the game, their number approached 200. This means they raised each one by 37 hit points. Exactly 37, not 35!!! Due to two rings equipped.
Raising demons is magic, and only a hero with a spellbook can keep the demons, it seems. I don't remember if wisdom is needed...
And the technology for raising them: flying around nagabanks. The nagas destroy the meat, the pitlord clone raises the demons.
I remember that in SoD, about 3000 of them were raised. Now a little more!
