“Who is stronger?” – Might versus Magic: reports and summaries.

HoM[M]ie (Sylvan, Ilfina) lost to Noom (Fortress, Helmar) - 2.1.5, "mask"
That's it, time to quit tournaments.

Confirmed.

Didn't play the first map - got external dwellings 2-3 and a guardhouse at the opponent's Elf. No meaty heroes from the start, no siege machines given right away - decided to restart the layout.
Played the second map - external dwellings 1-2-3 at the start, Karli, Helmar, and Inga. Decided to level Helmar right away - huge respawn up to portals, 1-2 days of travel, got good log at a cottage immediately. Was doing well though I lost 20+ bears and 40 shields - 4 max Dwarf Cottages in a row. On 127 the dragons spawned in the castle - broke into the secondary, leveled up to 20 there, learned spells/runes, and went looking for the opponent through the center on 142. On 155 found a scouted portal with a scout hero - nothing touched around it. Sat mining near the stable and on the next turn rushed straight to the opponent's secondary where his main hero was. The elf had no Oaks or Druids - 100 archers, 22 horses, and 120 knives. Constantly removed evasion from the elves with Mages' Watch and shot them down - confidently killed him in the castle, after which the opponent surrendered.
