Final Battle - 10

Took all restarts, for me for luck and my opponent also had a restart. I see Crag+ glowing in the tavern and there's a Dungeon and Castle town and I realize there's unlikely to be a restart. That's how it turned out, we played this game. Of the heroes, the most decent was Nella and I started leveling her, at first everything was sluggish but I built birds. On the second week Monere came and things got more fun, I captured 2 comps, both were very far away, in my home town I also built birds in the Castle! In the capital I built a 4th level and birds in the Castle. On day 131 I grabbed 2 Griffin Conservatories (3+3) and built a 5th level where there is Flight! Visiting the Mage Guild with Monere on day 132 and I rebuild the 4th level where they give Resurrection!...I run to the refugee camps, on day 133 I rebuild the 4th level and get Town Portal! In the army I have 14 Phoenixes and 7 Angels, well then I spread out and grabbed a lot of stuff, by the end of the game Monere had 3900 MP and 2 Dimension Doors, Nella and Christian also with Expert Earth and Air and about 3000 MP each. The army had 18 Archers, 20 Phoenixes, 20+ Psychics, about 90 Air Elementals, 60 Water Elementals, 40+ Earth Elementals. There was a Bow of the Sharpshooter, a Red Ball, and AotD.
The given build and army already said it all...I went on the attack to the Swamp Treasury, thought it was GG there but ran into Crag and a concession followed!
Thanks for the game!

Thanks to all the fans, your support was appreciated!!!
Thanks to the hosts for the tournament and organization!!!

The start was very promising and lively, which turned out to be a trap, the roads were dead, no objects, but there were plenty of refugee camps, I freed a Necro with a plan to make a stack of Skeletons for taking the camps, but there was nowhere to Necromance again, I captured the Dungeon comp, had money for Bears but not for buying out, so I just built birds + Ogres in the Castle, weeks 2 and 3 were a complete fail, it all started with the only 3 Dragon Fly Hives—all mini, there was nowhere to Necromance and the Skeleton stack was cancelled, 2 Griffin Conservatories both far away and both mini, along the road 1 or 2, lucky morale for neutrals killed more Ducks and an Angel, Dessa leveled like a goddess catching Mysticism, Sorcery, and Scouting in slots 4-6 respectively)), I had to switch to Luna, the only hero with Earth and enough mana to take the camps through Resurrect, since with the regular approach I simply had no army, I only started playing on day 141, when on the 4th or 5th attempt I rolled Resurrect in the Dungeon, I also had Expert Wisdom, but Alamar and Jeddite didn't come, on day 137 having finally gotten Resurrect I moved towards the refugee camps, within 3 days I took all 6 camps, for a pile of various junk including 2 KZ, KV, Hood, Wings, etc., but it was already too late, there were Archangels, 20+ birds, and a decent combat main with KS + AotD + good stats.
Thanks for the game and the tournament, it was cool and interesting!
Thanks also to all participants for the interesting games and to Vitaliy for the final, to all the fans and organizers, it's a shame I couldn't win the decisive game, as the difference between 1st and 2nd place is just colossal for me personally, it's like getting knocked out in 2nd place in the Progressive Knockout on Stars, and even worse, those who know will understand))

By the way, a special respect to Zhenya (LuckyF) who, after 3 consecutive losses, didn't lose heart and didn't give up on the tournament like some), but pulled out all the remaining games and ended up taking 3rd place, well done!)
