Don't click on the photos – Serёga Mishka). I know the others well – come on, grab your phones and take some pictures! But overall, well done!

Horn (red, Rampart, Kyrre) def Tema (blue, Dungeon, Shakti), 8mm6a, experience took its toll after all, even if it's not fixes, but random.)

Not 8mm6, but 6LM10. We finished on 2.2.7.
After spending all the restarts, a block of golden golems spawned from the lot, blocking my only road. But there was a passage to part of my spawn, so it doesn't count as objective. Eventually, on the first week I built dendroids in the Citadel (0 crystals on the accessible piece) and only broke out on day 8, when my opponent had already killed his computer. Then I slowly ramped up, luckily no one bothered me. I dug up all the components of the Sharpshooter's Bow, and in the town, thanks to the library, I got a portal. On the fifth month, I got crap and was just about to rebuild it when I got the entire fifth month in a box. And as it turned out later, we started without rebuilding. :cool: The second funny thing was this: dad was running through the underground passage, knocking out guards, while the scout hero was collecting loot behind him, falling further and further behind. So to hand dad the Necklace of Dragon Teeth, I had to buy another hero. Dad left, the scout hero returned to inspect the grave he had run past, saving moves... there was +6 to all. :eek:
Dad leveled up terribly, we shoved in resistance, luck, and intelligence. Things were going better for Grindan, who was given Air magic. I took the first Utopia with difficulty; half the army consisted of Dwarves who had to hold out while Kyrre cast three implosions. After that it got easier; in the 3rd Utopia I was given the Sword of Judgement, in the 5th - the Lion's Shield. I started building up a Rampart town, but I was afraid of the opponent; the tavern showed archers and a stronger army. But I finally got the last component of the Elixir of Life. On 2.2.1 I jumped out of the fog and took a Castle where the enemy had built angels. As a result, instead of 17 regular units, I had 19 upgraded ones. ;) Then Grinya gave me growth and I went to crush the enemy's castles and heroes until only Shakti remained. In the final, my 1300 mana and 32nd spell weren't needed because of the Red Orb, but a big advantage in meat (20 Archangels + 58 Wyverns + 23 Unicorns + 44 Dendroids + 144 Dwarves + 139 Elves + 25 Pegasi vs. 15 Archangels + 80 Wyverns + 20 Zealots + 19 Medusas + 36 Evil Eyes + 36 Crusaders + 14 Scorpicores) left no chance for Blue.
For a debut on this version, not bad, although in some moments I played just terribly. But, paraphrasing the saying - "not punished, not an idiot." :D

We restyled for 2 hours, first choosing all restarts, then hit a contact at 113. After all that, I don't remember which restart it was, but I entered the portal at 111 and immediately saw the hat of the 5ths for 50-99 ordinary basilisks and +5all for 5-9 asps; there were 2 graveyards under the main. I rushed there immediately, Khalh leveled up like a god, got log on 3 and earth on 4, almost immediately experted earth and went to look for some meat. Didn't have much luck with villages—ramp and castle—there was an external dwelling of demons. At 121 I took the double workshop, at 123 a triple cons dropped and I immediately grabbed the hat of 5, but I ran out of mana and decided not to tackle the wild asps that day. At 124 I pick up +5all and start taking over the map; at 126 a triple Dragon Utopia dropped with a Hat from the titan set, same breastplate and skull. Decided not to stall, went to the opponent, and took his main at 131. Then I took the villages and eventually caught up—a huge lead in stats and a slight one in army. The SP there didn't allow him to armage properly; I immediately hit him with an impl for -300 bones and the opponent surrendered. Thanks for the game!

Row 2, from left to right: Cannabis, Thema, Leha, Nevrotepichno, Mizrael.

Don't keep it a secret! To the left of Cannabis, clearly visible even through the fog of war, is another player! Who is it? :D

Yeah, I didn’t mention that Mizrael beat Horn in the 2nd round.

Tell me, how did it end? People are eager to know! =)
