"The Newbie-2015. Winter" tournament.

Almost exactly in the center of the overland world, someone's Fortress stood peacefully. One day, rumors spread that the Elementals from the south wanted to destroy the Lizardmen race. Then, at the city council, it was decided to hire a Death Knight to crush the army under the red banner.
Three roads led through the swamp: to the enemy lands, to the snows, where, according to rumors, a white tower of mages stood, and to a neighboring swamp. While Tamika visited the alchemists, Enova arranged for help from the neighbors, and Gurnisson brought a ballista to help and succeeded in studying fire magic.
Many monsters fell on Tamika's path, and hundreds of skeletons rose and joined the swamp army. After being released from the conservatories, 4 Angels said that Wyverns were languishing in captivity underground. They were soon freed and told the story of powerful artifacts guarded by Dragons in the snowy lands. They set off there.
Tamika's army got bogged down in the snows; some froze, and some got lost during a blizzard, becoming separated from the main detachment. On the way to the fourth Utopia, a red flag of the Elementals was spotted, appearing as if from nowhere. "Grindan... Lord of the Earth element..." Tamika thought and gave the order to attack. Swiftly, as if carried by the Wind, our warriors plunged into the enemy ranks, forcing Grindan to retreat, leaving his army behind. Examining the battlefield, Tamika remembered that, according to legend, nearby, the Mythical Dragons guarded magical Shackles that prevented the enemy from escaping.
A new plan was hatched! Gathering all her troops and hiding the Shackles under her cloak, Tamika burst into the territory of the Elementals and captured their Castle. In search of Grindan, our Heroes combed the entire location, looked under every bush and stone, but did not succeed in their search.
"Apparently, powerful Air magic is involved here," Tamika thought. And immediately, a messenger brought news of the preparation of an attack on a friendly Fortress. Tamika instantly moved there, but Grindan disappeared again... She decided to look for him in the lava lands. To gain speed, she took only the fastest units with her - Firebirds and Dragonflies. But she hadn't even taken a step on the coals when Grindan jumped out of an ambush and killed all the birds with magic, leaving the dragonflies no chance to rest. Strangely, his army included Angels, Black Knights, Wyverns, Liches, and others... Tamika had never seen such a diverse team. Summoning a Meteor Shower, she hid from the enemy (she had prudently left the shackles at home). It became clear that Grindan had no army left, but catching him to put an end to this bloody game seemed impossible...
And so this story ended.

Thank you for the interesting game! =)
See you! =)

P.S. - after consulting with special_k, we decided that, in order not to miss the deadline, it would be more convenient for me to continue the tournament, as he has a lack of time in real life.
