Vip.rus (yellow, Humans, Iris) def / lose Alex_R (blue, Humans, Elaine/Dugald) - map Key to Victory, 1-2-6
Luck - Advanced
Defense - Basic
Light - Basic
Attacked an abandoned mine with 39 red archers, 160+1+1+1 peasants, and 1 swordsman. There were 75 upgraded assassins there. In the auto-battle, I lost 80+ peasants and about 25-30 archers. I didn't like it, so I started fighting and, to avoid losing peasants, I only took single units into the battle. I divided the archers into groups of 13+13+13, and that's how they all died...
Thanks for the game :smile43:
Vip.rus (blue, High Elves, Iranna) def / lose Primus (red, High Elves, Waishan) - 1-4-3, Chaos map
The matchup turned out to be a mirror match. I got lucky with my hero (Iranna) and immediately leveled up to Advanced Magic, Luck, and spent a long time trying to get Chaos. Eventually, I got it too. In 17 levels, Logistics never dropped once:(
I really liked the map; it has plenty of resources and different bonuses. I developed calmly, without rushing (everything was within reach, so there was no need to hurry).
Just as I was getting ready to head to the far reaches of the map, my opponent's hero jumped out of the mirror and attacked me, probably counting on magic (his army was about one and a half to two times weaker). I had a Ring of Frost in my arsenal, and that was more than enough to win. I lost about 11 units.
After talking to Primus, it became clear that he wasn't having much luck, and he decided to concede. I agreed.

I found boots that give +1 to speed; it's a great artifact to start with!
Thanks for the game, Dima!

Vip.rus (blue, t elves, Iranna) def / lose Primus (red, t elves, Wyshan) - 1-4-3, Chaos template
The setup turned out to be a mirror match; I got lucky with the main hero (Iranna). I immediately leveled Enlightenment, then Luck, couldn't get Chaos for a long time, but eventually got it. In 17 levels, Logistics never dropped :(
I really liked the map—plenty of resources and various bonuses. I leveled up calmly, without rushing (everything was at hand, no need to hurry).
I was just about to head to distant lands when the opponent's main hero jumps out of a mage's mirror and attacks me, presumably relying on magic (the army was about one and a half to two times weaker). I had the Ring of Frost in my arsenal, and that proved more than enough for victory. I lost about 11 assassins.
After talking to Primus, it became clear he was unlucky; he decided to capitulate, and I agreed.
Enlightenment - Attraction - Revelation
Luck +3 - Resistance - Lucky Travel

Among the artifacts, I got Boots of Speed +1, a very nice artifact for the start!
Thanks for the game, Dima!

Dwp1970 (Elves, Ilfina) lost to Ejett (Humans, Dugald) - Letos template, around week 6
Confirming - he lost.
Leolopus (Dungeon, Lethos) lose Primus (Dungeon, Vaishan) - Dragon Pass, 1-4-7
For the second time in a row, a mirror match Dungeon vs Dungeon, Vaishan again, and again my leveling was worse than my opponent's. Clearing went normally, but I just couldn't get starting education, while my opponent had no issues. In the first two weeks, Lethos heavily outclassed me in stats and levels. On the third week, I broke into an area with a utopia and scavenged some good artifacts. Calmed down a bit due to the bad luck in leveling and continued rushing. On the first day of the fourth week, I built an artifact shop and discovered Shackles, which I was very happy about. Decided to buy them for 20,000 and try to catch my opponent. The plan worked 100%! Thanks for the game.

Leolopus (Dungeon, Lethos) lose Primus (Dungeon, Wyshan) - Dragon Pass, 1-4-7
For the second time in a row, a mirror match Dungeon vs Dungeon, again Wyshan, and again my progression was worse than my opponent's. Clearing was going fine, but I just couldn't get any starting education, while my opponent had everything in order. In the first two weeks, Lethos was far ahead of me in stats and levels. On the third week, I broke through to an area with a utopia, got some good artifacts. I calmed down a bit about the progression luck and continued rushing. On the first day of the fourth week, I built the artifact shop and found Shackles, which I was very happy about. I decided to buy them for 20,000 and try to catch my opponent. The plan worked 100%!

My starting hero was Dirael, which immediately stressed me out, but after checking the tavern I calmed down, Ossir and Gilraen were waiting for me there, in short - chocolate. Then everything went like clockwork, I cleared everything around, but at one of the portals I lost 130 Dancers and 150 Fairies badly, but I didn't despair and ran on, and then the opponent appeared in sight. I took with me Forest Archers, Dryads, Ancient Ents, High Druids and ran to catch Ibba, caught up after three turns and a battle ensued. The opponent tried to cast Berserker on my shooters twice, and both times the spell was resisted. On the third time, he cast Berserker on the Ents, but that was probably agony already, since he only had 8 Arcant Dragons left. In short, the battle was fought to the end, and thanks to the opponent for that, and thanks overall for an interesting, albeit long, game!

a stylish tournament
dmitrik (red, elves, Talanaar) defeated Mister_X_ (blue, dwarves, Inga), smile, week 6
no restarts were taken
The start was fast, with Talanaar and Ossir in the tavern. By the middle of the second week, I had already taken a secondary Castle and shortly after, I rushed into the opponent's city zone, where I got beaten up by Inga and ran away, losing about ten archers. Something similar happened in the resource zone, although there the losses were already twenty archers and a couple of logs. The dwarf didn't come to visit, so I ran to the Treasury, where hordes of lords were standing on both sides, so it was easy. I spent about five days leveling up, captured the maximum Utopia (the battle was somewhat interesting, 5 dragons kill 50, here's how it was http://slil.ru/26005570) and then Inga broke through to the Treasury. The initial plan was to level up the main hero to a mentor and train hit-and-run units, but in Utopia, I got boots, and I had logistics, so I decided to change the plan and just outrun the dwarf and capture the Castle. And that's what I did. In 5 days, I managed to take the opponent's Castle, move far enough away from it to jump into my own. Inga was at this time two days away from my Castle. The opponent decided not to continue and surrendered.

Thanks for the game
I confirm that I lost; I wouldn't have made it to the elf Castle and would have disappeared, so I decided to surrender prematurely.
Thanks for the game
We started a long time ago, so it turned into a Chaos replay...
We continued yesterday - I spent a couple of minutes figuring out what was going on. When I placed it, my opponent exclaimed, "Why would I need such a Necropolis?" Basically, my opponent lost in the Necropolis (he said he had an army of 90 units, I suspect the main hero was Haggeish, 90 goblins, and advanced machines). After that, my opponent didn't want to continue. I had Lucy, level 9 (and already with an expert logo), and riders were not far away. So, I think the real challenge would have started in the third week... Well, that's fate.
P.S. I also got my butt kicked in the Necropolis on the portal, but I had liches there, and I was an elf.
moz (blue, Necropolis, Lucretia) defeated ejett (red, Orcs, didn't look at the hero:)) Chaos, mid-second week
We started a long time ago, so it turned into a Chaos duel...
We continued yesterday - I spent about 2 minutes figuring out what was going on. When I entered, my opponent exclaimed, "Why do I need such a crypt?" Basically, my opponent lost in the crypt (he said he had an army of 90 units, I suspect the main hero was Haggeish, 90 goblins, and advanced machines). After that, my opponent didn't want to continue. I had Lucretia, level 9 (and already with an expert artifact), and riders were not far away. So, I think the third week would have been intense... Well, that's fate.
It's a pity that you didn't come to me with your expert artifact, I would have met you
Unfortunately, the opponent lost against the Incas.
He also foolishly lost all 4 of his Imps in the morning of the 4th week. But overall, it was a good game. Full attack, defense with Battle Defense Potion, and full Darkness (berserk-vampire). He was 19th, preparing to break through the portal and go swimming.
Oh, and yes, this was part of a modded tournament.

Cool tournament.
immortal (Demons, Nimues, Red) defeated Leolopus (Dwarves, Nur, Blue) Smile, 6th week.
The start was very difficult: at first, there were no good heroes; I dug up Nimues on the 4th day, I think, and started playing with him. In the very first battle for the mine, I messed up and lost almost all the Imps on Alt Imps (40 died) – the level 1 units didn't have time to get to the gate, and I miscalculated the range, so they reached immediately... Then it turned out that both dwellings were blocked by Spirits and were also very far away. I only captured the Imps in the second week. In general, I left my starting zone only on the 13th or 14th day, and I thought it was over because Nur was there, and I expected her to come to me through the city zones in about 3 weeks with Machines and Chaos... But Leo gave me time to recover – he let me have the 3rd and half of the 4th week in his adjacent territory, then I went to the Racial Castle because I was constantly having problems with sulfur and mercury. The Devils didn't appear in the 3rd week; I barely managed to build the Castle, thanks to the fact that the Racial shop was in the Castle. In the Racial zone, I took the Dragon Scale, Tome of Power, ring -2 morale, claw, and cleared almost everything. Not far from the exit, Leo was found with a Berserk scroll, but I didn't have time to get to it because Nur came and took it. Seeing her maneuvers, I gathered all my army and went to meet her. Somewhere in the middle of the 6th week, it happened...
