Got completely wrecked
Medium roads, no harpies
111 - little gold, but in the tavern Shakti with 3 stacks and Eleshar with all stacks
112 - Shakti is hired, I rush into the sandy secondary, break through 20+ dogs for a ring of life. The secondary is completely blocked by a town portal to the opponent with 20+ pit fiends, harpies at home
113 - I take a crypt on the sands before the max (helmet +2 knowledge), at the entrance to the treasure zone I notice boots behind zombies). Town hall at home. Respawn is big and poor.
114 - I bring some meat, break into the treasure zone (shooters, but they didn't want to fight, I didn't insist)). The treasure zone looks empty. Rings at home.
115 - Shakti scouts - the treasure zone is completely empty. There is one Pandora's box with 10+ Minotaur Kings. While I was thinking what to do - a doorbell, someone flooded someone. In a panic I run to the far crypt and retreat - there's a mini. Citadel at home.
116 - I decide to take out the minotaurs after all. It went well - I lost 10 Troglodytes, the Rampart mana and a couple of Eyes. In the Pandora's box there are 50 zombies. I run to take the last crypt and get ready to go to the opponent's treasure zone. Marketplace at home.
117 - Crypt before the max, I'm standing at the guard of the portal to the opponent's treasure zone (80 Wood Elves with a Golden Bow). Eyes at home.
121 - Epic day. Epic, because I got Anti-Morale) It only showed itself negatively once, when a fat stack of Harpies was supposed to block 2 stacks of Gog Magogs according to the plan, but... -60 Troglodytes :D Actually, I upgraded the Harpies, brought the whole army. First the Elves, on the other side 80+ Magogs. There are stables and a Dragon Fly Hive behind a horde of Ghosts.
122 - I break through the Dragon Fly Hive and take it (6 Wyverns), then I run forward with Shakti on the Wyverns - I spot the opponent, turn around, and I was 1 movement short of passing the army to Shakti. Well, I think I have money to hire him, I think it'll be fine. The opponent doesn't quite reach Shakti, but sends a scout hero to the tavern.
123 - The opponent has a decent army, my stats are better.. I decide to trade castles, because I saw a Pandora's box in the opponent's treasure zone that was left behind him - I take it - there's 5k experience. The opponent ran to take my castle.
124 - I go to the opponent, along the way another 5k experience for 48 Griffins. Skills are ideal - Attack, Defense, Logistics, Tactics, Earth Magic. I approach the opponent's town. The Troglodytes are gone)) The opponent takes my castle, where Christian was sitting with Medusas. I harassed the Gogs.
125 - I take the town, finally buy a spell book, kill two weaklings, take a Dwarf Cottage, ran to take Inferno. The opponent is running into my treasure zone
126 - Marius is holed up in Inferno with a small mana pool and a castle, there are several stat boosters in front of the castle, I stopped in front of them.
127 - I take the stat boosters, attack the castle - good, I handle the guards calmly, although they halved my Eyes) On his turn, the opponent scouts in my treasure zone, probably sees that everything is empty and concedes.
Thanks for the game!

Got completely wrecked again)
Medium roads, Lizardmen not built.
111 - I hire Malcolm and send him deep into the respawn for gold, I build Lizardmen in the castle.
112 - I hire Stig, hire some Lizardmen, bring the army to Voi, she breaks through the passage to the secondary on Inferno ground. A lot of gold was scattered, so the fact that the opponent grabbed a village on the second day doesn't bother me much) Nothing is being built
113 - I hire Adelaide, gather stacks. There's an external dwelling of Gnolls. Voi couldn't take the Necropolis secondary in one turn, the roads are very long. The Gnoll power stack isn't great. The opponent also has 4 heroes, looks like things are going quite well for him) I build a Town Hall.
114 - Voi tries to run to the Necropolis village, but again there's a block, this time 20+ Griffins for an Arena and resources. A body with +2 spell power is visible. In general, I see a lot of +stats for the mage, but when and whom to run through them is unclear( A chain for bringing meat is barely being built. I build Wyverns.
115 - I hire the Wyverns and the remaining Lizardmen, deliver them to Voi, she breaks through 24 Griffins with a loss of a dozen Centaurs and Gnolls. No buildings...
116 - I finally take the secondary. At home - Citadel, in the secondary there's a tavern. Not enough time, maybe I should have hired a hero and he could have run for gold, but I didn't want to risk it. A scout reveals the only exit that's visible and it looks very tasty, but guarded by 10+ Thunderbirds..
117 - I return the army home, not enough money, I put everyone I can on mills. I build Serpent Flies at home, result is 1-3, 6 in the Citadel with 1000. Not enough wood for marketplaces..
121 - Korbac is in the tavern, I upgrade Lizardmen, hire them, a couple of Dragon Flies and a Wyvern. Everything goes through the chain to Voi and she attacks 40 Cerberi on home ground...and loses o_O. I underestimated.
Thanks for the game)

I'll describe this game in general, the opponent has more to tell here))
The opponent had 1 rest left, I took everything. Roads are slow.
+ gold was above average
+ external dwelling of Minotaurs
+ portal accordingly
+ easily found exit to the home treasure zone
- no hero with good skills
- secondary zone is sands
- in GM1 no useful spells
- in GM2 no useful spells
- home treasure zone EMPTY (exception, hat +4 knowledge and boots behind 36 Wyverns) and yes, a gold mine))
- passage to the opponent's treasure zone through a kilometer of sand
that's from my side, the opponent has it easy) At the end I failed, my brain was already fried. I attacked a portal, thought it was to the opponent's treasure zone, but it was a portal to his main. As a result, 20+ Fanatics (well, 40) violated my guys.
Thanks for the fight, good luck in the finals!)
