Game One
Havr(Life) def Norwin(Nature)
I had Champions, Crossbowmen, Pikemen, and I don't remember what else from the low-tier units. The magic in the town wasn't great, so I took an Order Mage with Berserk and Hypnosis. I also trained the Advanced Order tactic from a sold level 2 spellbook. The opponent had Tactics, a Druid Mage Guild, and Gargoyles. I immediately rushed forward with everything, blocking the opponent's heroes with my Gargoyles. The opponent had an Order shield, so I endured a few unpleasant moments :) But I got through it. In the end, on day 2, I killed the heroes and everything was fine.

1-0

Game Two
Havr(Life) def Norwin(Death)
This time Angels, Crossbowmen, and I don't remember the rest :) For heroes, again Tactics and an Order Mage Guild, again with Hypnosis :) I remember on the first turn I cast Oil with an Order-aligned unit, at the start of the second turn I killed the opponent's Necromancer's Mage Guild and cast Hypnosis on the Imps. The opponent surrendered.

2-0

Game Three
Havr(Nature) def Norwin(Life)
I had to worry in this match. Nature had a bad monster layout, with a large spread. In the end, I had 8 Mantises, 34 Griffins, 124 Elves, 300 Wolves, and a few Water Elementals. For heroes, I had Tactics with trained Expert Nature and a Life Mage Guild with Divan and a bit more. The opponent had Champions, Crossbowmen, Pikemen, and 1,700 Peasants, Tactics, and a Priest Mage Guild. I got lucky with the morale layout; the Water Elementals moved before the opponent's Champions and cast Sand, then the Tactics hero added more Sand. I took the Peasants completely out of the fight. At the start of the second turn, I managed to remove the Tactics hero's Immortality with the Mantises (losing all the Mantises to the Champions and Crossbowmen), and then finished him off with the Griffins. After that, everything became simple.

3-0

Game Four
Havr(Chaos) def Norwin(Order)
A decent monster layout: 4 Black Dragons, 44 Goblins, a hundred Medusas, 500 Orcs, and a hundred Troglodytes. For heroes, I took an Assassin with Hand of Death and Call of Death (I thought there would be Sorceresses) and, naturally, Tactics. The opponent had Tactics and an Order Mage Guild, 7 Djinns, 40 Naga, 150 Magi, and low-tier units. I ran/flew in with my high-initiative units to kill the heroes; the opponent couldn't counter the Black Dragons and the powerful Goblin stack.

4-0
