Posts from Reports on victories and defeats in online games of Heroes of Might and Magic V.

As part of the "Something for Everyone" tournament:
Primus (Haven, Dugald) def Tieru (Rune Priest, Carli) - City of Wonders, 1st month, 2nd week, 7th day.
He played well, but his logistics weren't quite there, so in the second week, I decided to go straight for his opponent. I was almost certain I would win, and that's what happened. Thanks for the game.

Dugald, level 13
Core counter-attack skills - Prayer
Developed attack skills - Archery - Hornets
Advanced light magic - Righteous Fury
Advanced machines - Ballista - Rapid-Fire Ballista

As part of the "Everyone Gets What They Deserve" tournament:
ValgallaWolf (Stronghold, Garuna) def. Alex_nv (Inferno, Nimus) - Smile Template, 1st month, 4th week, 7th day.
Garuna, level 18
Average racial (Memory of Our Blood)
Developed attack - shooting - wasps
Skilled machines - ballista - rapid-fire ballista
Great luck.

Another game involving machines. I thought Inferno had no chance against Stronghold. When Keegan appeared at the start, I was a little worried. I went to the tavern - and there was Garuna. And I finally believed in victory. My inexperience playing on templates showed. I spent a long time exploring the starting area and looking for a way out. In the end, I found all sorts of things, including secondary Order structures and dwellings for them. Finally, I found a passage to an adjacent zone. There I leveled up and was about to run home when Nimus unexpectedly appeared. The ballista left him no chance. 6 cave demons at once is a lot. Thank you to my opponent for the game and good luck in the future.

Vasja. (Red, Humans, Dugald) def | lose Adelaide (Blue, Necropolis, Lucretia) - Medium map with an underground section based on the "Smile" template. Finished at 19:00 Moscow time on 07/11.

.

tournament "To Each His Own".
ArhLich (Red, Orcs, Gorchak) def Alcoholic (Blue, Dungeon, Vaishan) - Medium map without a dungeon, following the "Smile" template. Day 5, Week 4, Month 1

dmitrik (red, Dungeon, Irbet) defeated mkadan (blue, Orcs, Keegan) in Chaos, 2-1-3, fashion tournament

No restarts were needed.

I used the fast template, so I chose Irbet, who came in second, as my main hero. Near the castle in the camp, there were 5 new vampires, which allowed me to break through to the adjacent zone on the second day through 40 specters; I thought I wouldn't make it and would have to restart :smile13:. After that, there were two and a half weeks of relatively calm gameplay. Irbet cleared the second adjacent zone, and Leto cleared the first. Then I was going to use my main hero to go for the treasury, but on the third week, an Orc arrived, and I had to give up. Keegan didn't have time to bring reinforcements and bought his way out, after which Irbet ran to the enemy. Here is the final battle http://slil.ru/25975779

Irbet, level 15
racial 2 (ritual, wave)
chaos 3 (up to pyrokinesis)
machines 3 (tent)
education 2 (magic attraction)
logistics 1

Thank you for the game.

As part of the "Something for Everyone" tournament, map "The Art of Strategy."
Vip.rus (red - Necropolis, Ravenna) - lost; Leolopus (blue - Wizard, Nura) - won.
Attack - 2
Defense - 3
Spell Power - 9
Knowledge 21
I leveled up Nura to level 17. During the game, I was 5-4-3 levels ahead of the opponent in terms of leveling up. Skills: Advanced Spellcasting, Expert Machines (with a ballista and a tent), Expert Attack with Ranged Weapons (I didn't get Opportunity Strike), Advanced Chaos Magic, Intermediate Education. At the end of the first month, I made a move towards the opponent. My army consisted only of Gremlins and Gargoyles (167 and 26, respectively). The opponent's hero was running around in the Dungeon near his second castle. Like a cockroach, he carried away everything that was in the castle, and I took it empty, but with the castle and buildings up to the Death Messenger. The opponent decided to take revenge and went to my castle, which he captured using the same scheme. There were no walls in my castle, but I gave the opponent +4000 gold per day and a Berserker. In short, we met near my castle. As a result, I had to retreat with 6 Archmages. The opponent gathered reinforcements from his second castle and went to recapture his main castle, and... he did, but I was right behind him and, having gathered a couple of reinforcements with a Necropolis army, I attacked his hero in his main castle. The game ended there. With 40 mana against 210, you can't fight for long. Thanks to the opponent for the game!
