Heroes World TOP-8: Reports and summaries.

Vip.rus (red, mages) defeated Ekzekutor (blue, dwarves), Rainbow, 5 weeks

At the start, everything was going well, unlike my opponent, it seemed, but then it turned out that the portals had arrows that couldn't be broken through without significant losses, and the only portal that could be broken through was far away and led, as it turned out, to a snowy area. This cost me 2 weeks. In week 3, I broke through 2 adjacent areas, captured resource mines, and in week 4, I moved to a 3rd adjacent area, which also had a resource mine. I was planning for a long game and didn't take any machines. I was very surprised when a dwarf appeared in the adjacent area in week 4. Although I was nearby, if he had gone directly, it would have been harder for me to defend. But I managed to grow a bit in the mini-treasure in the 2 days I had, although my combat stats were much lower. The dwarf eventually came, I holed up in my castle, we exchanged units a bit, and I got a money bonus. After that, it was simple; I quickly found a treasure, took a Temple, but then another dwarf appeared. We fought in the field; I didn't hide in the castle, but I did gather some stat-boosting items, and there were as many as 3 of them near the castle, which I usually don't do. Victory was almost 100%; I was very lucky with Razazak at the start; without defense, I wouldn't have been able to hold out, and the dwarf, in his haste, lost a lot of units. Thanks for the game.
