On this map, you need to act quickly, so I would choose either the Market or the Assassins as a bonus. The Market will give you a one-day advantage in building, which means that by the 2nd or 3rd week, you will have more creatures. There's no point in rushing in the first week. In the city, I would advise you to buy the 2nd upgrade to Assassins and Beasts with Minotaurs, then Furies and Lizards, and finally Shadow Lords. We don't really need Hydras here, but if you have resources left, don't hesitate to build them. Be sure to build a Shop; you're sure to find something useful there. Now, let's talk about the course of action. In the first 1-2 days, it's best to capture nearby mines for wood and ore; they are easier to take. Starting from the 2nd week, you can go to the portal and capture some of the structures that you can handle. Ideally, by the 3rd week, you should have captured all the buildings that give bonuses to attributes, and you will be level 10. If you have time left, you can go up to level 12. I won't impose my point of view on the skill build, but in my opinion, Railag is a damage-dealing hero, so I would advise you to focus primarily on attack skills up to the Speed spell, then Dark Magic; you don't need everything, but Slow and Plague should be there, as well as Defense up to Expert + Resistance and Stone Skin, and Luck, Soldier, and Resistance. By the 4th mission, you will have a tanky hero; add to that the rings you find somewhere for initiative, and you can be sure that you won't lose even against players with high difficulty. By the way, about the tournament itself: don't rush to attack players right away; wait 2-3 turns while they sort themselves out, then you will fight 1-2 players and avoid Irbet; her Golem deals a lot of damage.
