Heroes World TOP-8: Reports and summaries.

Vip.rus (Orcs, Kigan) defeated Sonic (Elves, Anven) in a spiral, week 6. There was a situation. I decided to take machines (they were available at level 3). In general, everything started chaotically, and I accidentally took a chest with 1500 experience points with the wrong hero. There was a bug near the Castle, not fatal, but it prevented me from reaching the wood mine on day 3; I only captured it then, and the ore mine was far away. But! Anven and the machines offered the prospect of moving forward quickly, especially since I already had a ballista and a tent. Still, I realize now that it would have been better to choose something else because of the lack of wood. Neither Elves nor Druids were viable options at level 1 (I took a building without losses... but by day 7, I only had enough resources for a Castle level 1 upgrade). Things went better later, but there was a catastrophic shortage of wood. Everything I accumulated in the gargoyle dens and gnome mines was constantly being used up, and even if the crypts provided some wood, it disappeared so quickly that I didn't even notice. With tremendous effort, I completed the Castle construction by the end of day 3. I can't even say whether the machines were a plus or a minus. On the one hand, there were neutral creatures that could be defeated by 8 Druids; without them, there would have been losses. Instead of Monks, I should have taken Education and, accordingly, increased the attack, but it's unlikely I could have done so without losses, BECAUSE some jerk gave me Native Lands instead of Keen Mind, and there was no way to change it! This became fatal in this game (the Orc's ballista would have been destroyed, but it was devastating)! I developed Chaos Magic well. But without a good attack, Anven is weak. The Orc was a tank, of course (against my underdeveloped Elf-Chaos hero without Keen Mind and a decent attack). The battle at the Castle was interesting, so, due to my long-standing experience in defending Castles, I accidentally opened the gates a bit. But I think even if I hadn't done that, the Orc would have won anyway, albeit with some difficulty. There were only 200 mana, though... 60 to 40 in favor of the Orc, I think. I simply gained a lot of Fury with spells and the catapult (I repeat, without my Keen Mind, it managed to destroy a piece of the wall). (Machines - 3 shots, all racial, Chaos - Oh, Defense - Dodge, Reflection, Log - Native Lands), basic attack. By the way, it was interesting (but I should have given Necromancer to Vip). Thanks for the game. :smile32: :)
