vitalic (blue, Tower, Nella, Gunnar) def Mizrael (red, Castle, Valeska, Kire) 2SM4D(3) 137
Gunnar appeared as the second hero in the tavern. On the first turn, he provides +4 to attack and moves along the path to the guard of the next respawn point. Afraid to reveal him, I transfer troops and wait. On the second turn, a skeleton transformer for 5 vampires (I didn't pick it up very advantageously, but it gave me some cash). My opponent has Kire as the main hero, resulting in a duel of two logisticians. On day 1, turn 3, I get my native secondary hero, with a Griffin Conservatory nearby — there is potential. Until the end of the week, all movement is through rough terrain, but I managed to gather gold and built a Naga at home, and Golems at the secondary hero's Citadel (down to zero gold). On day 2, turn 2, I changed everything, bought troops, and a Dwarf dwelling for 150 Dwarves gave me gold. Things got better after that. Gunnar learned Earth Magic; a couple more turns of moving through rough terrain to gain experience, and I found a level 2 Griffin Conservatory. With 2 Angels, I captured the one I had previously found near the secondary hero, resulting in a powerful stack of 5 Angels. On day 2, turn 4, I took a major Naga Bank with an upgraded stack on snow tiles — Expert Earth Magic made it easy. By the end of the week, I planned to capture an external Naga dwelling guarded by up to 99 Fire Elementals and an external Mage dwelling guarded by up to 49 Minotaurs. I took the first one, but I didn't make it to the second — I made a mistake. I could have claimed it too.
By day 2, turn 7, I had a Capitol at home, and Nagas with a Citadel at the secondary hero. I dove into the underground, picked up Boots of Speed and a Shield offering +4 to all stats. Then I conquered a Necropolis secondary hero's town, and in the Treasury, I found a Cap of the Alchemist for +6 to all stats, guarded by 70 Scorpicores. By day 3, turn 4, I was already level 22 with 30 Attack. Contact with the opponent began. By day 3, turn 7, his capital fell, complete with built Angels, and Kire himself was killed along with 5 Angels.
Thanks for the game

FAVorite (Dess's red Barbarian) lose Alex_R (blue swamp Bron/Tazar) 1-3-5 (throw)
Used all restarts
On the first, only 1 crypt from money, so 1-4 6 in Castle + necromancer external dwelling.
On the second, native external dwelling; 2 crypts, 1 medusa nest, conserve for 1 angel, external dwellings of ranks 2; 3; 4.
1-7 in Castle homes and 1-3$6 in Stronghold external dwelling ... income 500+1000+2000
On the third, nagobank external dwelling for gnolls ))) and a tree for 8 ducks.
Tazar 6-11-5-6 ... further see the correspondence after the game:

FAVorite (15:47:56 27/07/2008)
even so... unexpected..... I saw your stats and went to level up..... but the hydras were given a lot of morale

Alex (15:49:13 27/07/2008)
and I broke through to the respawn - to launch the suckers and wanted to take nagobank - but you surrendered ... and it seems your cool unit was right on this respawn - if you had run sideways to the right - then you would have seen me

Alex (15:50:43 27/07/2008)
but I intended to take nagobank and run to the external dwelling - there's a Dragon Utopia nearby - and my army already allowed taking the Dragon Utopia - expert armor, logistics, earth, wisdom, and advanced attack, and 15 ducks in the army and 27 basilisks + meat, and another 8 ducks in the Castle and 9 basilisks + a bunch of meat

FAVorite (15:51:42 27/07/2008)
you have a native external dwelling... cool, I didn't even have one external dwelling...... anyway, on this map it's your victory

Alex (15:52:03 27/07/2008)
yes - I took external dwellings of ranks 1-4 one by one
and couldn't take two cow external dwellings at all

Alex (15:54:30 27/07/2008)
well yes - and in general, we went hand in hand regarding army and economy - just towards the end I developed Tazarik better, and because of the external dwelling and Hive, it turns out there are more armies for 8 wyverns ...

Alex (15:55:14 27/07/2008)
you had a chance - to run around me or take Dragon Utopia earlier - but this week you'd hardly have taken Dragon Utopia - only on 1-4-1

FAVorite (15:56:22 27/07/2008)
yes, I even found it, just things went stupidly with the hydras, there were only 10 of them, but they got a morale boost and blocked the cyclops, and hit two at once
and there was no mana

Alex (15:57:09 27/07/2008)
economy was tough at first - only took 1 crypt on the 1st
and I still didn't break through my native stone mine

Alex (15:58:11 27/07/2008)
but I got lucky in the tavern - they gave me a tank-saur for the first time across all restarts

FAVorite (15:58:30 27/07/2008)
I didn't even have a crypt.. just piles lying there... didn't set up bears on the first, that's why...... set up cyclops

Thanks for the game - interesting development on a non-super respawn - pity we didn't fight ...
P.S. You already have 4 points :smile30: Congratulations to the HeroesPortal team on winning the tournament. :smile43:

Thank you, and good game to you too. I hope the tournament will contribute to uniting our resources and the people who love the game with all their hearts!

Pit - for the sake of LM (red, Fortress, Bron, Galtran) defeats Lesgor (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 217. On the first day, Galtran is found in the tavern and immediately appointed as the main hero. Bron has 6 basilisks, the lizard dwellings are built, and there are two paths to the secondary settlements. The difficulties are: a Utopia is located near the opponent's capital, there is little gold, and the wood mine is far away and blocked. I take a Crypt with 5 vampires, break through to the grassland, where there is a Castle secondary settlement. I see a wyvern nest - the army is moved to the capital, a path to the wood mine is cleared, and on the 7th day, the mine is taken. Wood arrives a bit late, buildings 1-3 are constructed, 6 in the Castle. Few skeletons are gathered - about 50, Galtran fought rarely. The observation tower in the treasury shows the presence of an Oracle's Hat for 20-49 riders. In the second week, Andra runs for the vampire cloak on the land of the opponent's secondary settlement, not far from the border between the swamp and the land. Galtran gets the cloak and starts gathering skeletons. A gnome warehouse with 20 units, a medusa warehouse, a path to the Inferno land is cleared, and the city is taken. A scout is sent to the underground treasury, and Galtran moves to the grassland for the hat. By the end of the week, he has about 200 skeletons. On day 132, earth elementals (100, half of them are magma elementals) guarding the amulet +3 morale/luck are defeated, and on day 133, riders are encountered, and it turns out there are almost 50 of them, and without mass slowing, the losses are significant. Therefore, I go to the Hive and Conservatory near the capital. On day 134, I take 2 angels and 6 wyverns and want to take the opponent's Utopia, but Valeska turns out to be faster. Her stats increase significantly, and she gets the Book of Earth. On day 136, I see her heading to the swamp treasury towards two Hives, and I position myself to try to catch her in the attack - advanced logistics, a stable, DD, and a rush on group serpents allowed me to reach quite far. On day 137, I teleport to Valeska, but her entire army... And nearby is the Utopia. The Utopia's guard - almost 50 group cyclops and dragons - severely depleted Galtran's already not very large army, and it didn't give many stat points - he got the Titan's Helmet, Angel Wings, and a +6 shield. Before the Utopia, he took the Boots of the Dead. On the next turn, Valeska attacks... Before retreating, an explosion destroys 4 angels, but Valeska still has a large army, and her stats are significantly higher. Galtran has almost nothing left... At the beginning of the fourth week, Galtran descends into the underground treasury - there, a library, a sphere of earth, a couple of Pandoras, and Hives are found. Meanwhile, Valeska breaks through the defenses and takes my capital. By day 144, the treasury is consumed, and Valeska appears there, but Galtran manages to transfer the army and is defeated, after which he goes to finish off the grassland treasury. Valeska unsuccessfully tries to take my cities all week (on day 147, I controlled all 3), and the skeletons multiply quickly (half of the killed monsters are resurrected), and by day 147, there are 370 of them. On day 213, the last city is lost. On day 214, there are already 850 skeletons, 23 wyverns, and 25 gold golems from Pandora, with an explosion of 2000+ damage. On day 215, I take back my Castle secondary settlement, and Valeska attacks. Valeska (24, 11, 14, (180)), sphere of water, Book of Earth, +1 speed, expert leadership, archery, attack, water magic, logistics, advanced defense, basic tactics, and wisdom, 12 angels, 15 champions, 25 horned demons, 37 crossbowmen, 73 archers, 14 wyverns, 35 royal griffins against Galtran (12, 15, 15, (240)), expert necromancy, defense, intelligence, attack, logistics, earth magic, tactics, basic training, +1 health, +3 morale/luck, sphere of earth, and Oracle's Hat, 2 angels, 4 hydras, 2 gorgons, 25 gold golems, 23 wyverns, 18 basilisks, 900 skeletons. Galtran's explosion completely destroyed Valeska's troops, and at the same time, all the skeletons and wyverns died from her explosion of 1000. On day 216, I take back my capital, and on day 217, I take the blue capital. The opponent surrenders. Thank you for the game.

Pit - in sake of LM (red, Fortress, Bron, Galtran) def Lesgor (blue, Castle, Valeska, Valeska), 2sm4d(3), 217.
Thank you for the game.

Without any land, air, or control, it's impossible. And Pit stole the wings right under his nose. If he had seen Galtrash in the tavern before turn 113, he would have taken revenge.
Thank you for the game.

Neoandy (red, Castle, Valeska, Valeska) draw Uran (blue, Fortress, Tazar, Tazar) 2SM4D(3), 125

No respawns, archers are built, the road to the GO and 2 shooter blocks, scouting showed a passage to the opponent's secondary barbarian dwelling next to the GO. There are 2 cons and 1 house there. I gather money, dig up Ciele and go there. Tazar didn’t show up near the GO for a long time and on 116 he was on a fly. Considering the prospect of a rush, I didn’t build a castle in order to buy on 121. Tazar breaks through the dendroids and enters the barbarian respawn, and the next turn on 117 Valka catches up to him and shoots him down with archers again, although there were fewer of them; there were 6 lizards and wyverns, against 2 horses. But Tazar flees. I bring up troops and run to the castle in thought - where did 6 wyverns come from on 117? A tree for 4 ducks or 2 external dwellings of wyverns? I approach the castle - 2 external dwellings of wyverns! Oh, I think how timely I am. I don’t dare attack and wait for Ciele, and also 1 day’s ride away through the swamp I see a breastplate +5 to attack and think maybe I can take it too. But Tazar spent a lot of money on the castle + his escape and buying from the external dwellings and took a risk capturing the medusa dwelling while Valka is hanging around nearby and dies fighting the medusas.

Congratulations on the victory follow, but then I remember that on 121, when I was bringing up troops, I killed a noob on 4 horses. I remembered when I was transporting troops that they couldn’t participate in battle, but I spent a long time calculating moves there so that there would be no penalty for the main hero on the rocks and I wanted to kill him with Ciele, but she didn’t have enough tiles, as a result the army was transferred back and forth several times and I decided that 4 horses would be enough to catch the fly and I myself forgot about the rush.

I told the opponent about this - we decided on a draw. We also wanted to replay the game, if possible, and if not - leave the draw. The replay didn’t work out.

Thank you for all three games in the tournament, it was interesting! Hope to see you again soon at the same level!

Pit - for the sake of LM (blue, Castle, Valenska, Galtran) defeated Lesgor (red, Necropolis, Clavius, Clavius), 2SM4D(3), 114. The opponent took both restarts, I took the first day. After that, the game generated a perfect situation - Galtran appeared in the tavern with 40 skeletons, an ambush of archers on the first day, and a stone of experience with advanced necromancy. Then I see a lot of money-making buildings, a conservatory, a utopia, two hives, and gloves. On day 113, I break through to the secondary resource - my own. At the same time, Clavius goes there. On day 114, the battle took place - I had three times more skeletons and fifty archers. Thank you for the game.

Pit - in sake of LM (blue, Castle, Valenska, Galtran) def Lesgor (red, Necropolis, Clavius, Clavius), 2SM4D(3), 114.

Thank you for the game.

The generator was purchased:)
Thank you for the games.

regarding the game with Neo...
He violated the rules, and they are the same for everyone, which usually leads to a loss... But firstly, I didn't notice it right away, and I wouldn't have noticed it at all if the opponent hadn't mentioned it later. Secondly, and this is the main point, I have never demanded technical forfeits for rule violations (unless they lead to significant changes in the game) and I don't want to do so in the future.
I am in favor of a draw, which we agreed on immediately after the game.
I apologize to the players on our team... but 4.5-2.5 may not be that great, but it will give us more motivation for the next game, and I hope it will take place.

Dear friends! As a representative of the HeroesWorld team, I hereby declare the first match between the HeroesPortal and HeroesWorld resources as completed! The match score is 4.5 to 2.5 in favor of the Portal team. The Portal team players won 10 games, while our players won 6 games. One game ended in a draw. Congratulations to our friends from the Portal team on their victory! The winning team consisted of 8 players: Neoandy, vitalic, Vigo, LESGOR, Alone ekb, rebellious, SUPERMAG, FAVorite. Our team included: Uran, Mizrael, scorp, Pit - In sake of LM, Деконтаминатор, vbn, Alex R. Although we lost, we fought well! :smile25: Remember how the match started, we were losing 4-0, someone even started talking about a complete defeat, then the score became 6-1. We could have given up on the lost match, ignoring the remaining games or losing them without a fight. But the players still rallied and finished the match with dignity, which I think deserves respect, not just from me. :smile20: I would like to highlight the game of Alex R, who won the first victory for our team, defeating two players from the opposing team and winning his micro-match cleanly 2-0, as well as Pit, who managed to turn the tide of the match against his opponent and ultimately won 2-1. And of course, Uran, he didn't lose the match of the resource leaders, and in my opinion, he even won, due to his noble behavior in the last game. However, everyone played excellently, and I only regret that we didn't agree before the start of the match to have the players upload their saves. Watching the saves of games at this level could have pleased true fans of HoMM3. I would like to thank our substitutes - invisible, Dubrovin Pavel, Dreamcatcher, Colorado, Retro FM, who were ready to support our Community with their game at any moment. Special thanks to the referees - Paladin (Minsk), DVStranger (Moscow), Sil (St. Petersburg), who kindly agreed to resolve controversial issues in the match, and it's very good that everything went without their direct participation. I would also like to note the organizer from the Portal side - Zerzes, who suggested that we play such a match, and it was quite easy and productive to work with him. I hope that this match was not the last between our resources, the World players gained experience, drew conclusions, and I hope that in the next match we will win. :smile12: P.S. If anyone wants to write their opinion about the match, about its results, praise the players who played remarkably well (it won't hurt :smile26: ) - it's best to do it here!

The main victory was achieved by all of us – we, the Heroes of Might and Magic players, got to know each other better, made more online friends, and we are starting to understand that we are all of the same blood! As for the score, well, yes – the players from the portal won, and they deserved it – congratulations! And as for the guys from World of Xeen, with whom I started playing (I haven't quite matured yet), many of whom I can directly call friends – well, you fought like eagles!!
P.S. I told you to unleash Pashka...))

Thank you, Valera, for your kind words, but my achievements are quite modest. I think you're about to become an elite player in "Wolrd of Xeen." Winning against the formidable Paladin is a great achievement! Respect! I would like to commend Pete's (Petr's) game. Even in his first confirmation post after Lesgor's victory, I wrote that I was confident in Pete's overall victory, and Pete was indeed at his best!!! I wish Pete continued improvement in the game and that he doesn't stop at the heights he has already reached! Good luck!!! Thank you, Nagan, for organizing and running this tournament; it was great!!! I hope this was the first, but not the last, inter-resource tournament, and that holding such tournaments will become a good tradition in "Wolrd of Xeen!!!" Thank you to all the tournament participants for the exciting and uncompromising competition; it was very interesting to learn from the detailed reports!!!

Thank you to the esteemed Nagana and Zerzes for the excellent organization of the tournament! Thank you to all participants for the interesting games and experience, and a special thank you for not having to resort to the help of judges.

I regret one thing: that we didn't agree before the match to have players share their save files. Reviewing the save files of games at this level could delight true Heroes of Might and Magic 3 fans.

I'm not sure if I'll greatly please true fans, but I decided to upload the save files from the second match with Lesgor. It was truly interesting, with an unpredictable outcome, and there were mutual mistakes. The first and third matches are not very interesting – the random map generator played too large a role. I join Nagan's veiled request – I would gladly watch the save files from the games of the First Traditional (I really hope it will be so) Interportal Tournament. I want to thank Nagan and Zerzes for organizing the Tournament. They put in a lot of work, invested a lot of effort and enthusiasm – and achieved an excellent result! Thank you to the HW players for their trust. I know how difficult it was to make the decision to replace such players as Dudj and Invisible with me. Throughout the tournament, I felt tremendous support from friends and fans. I am especially grateful to Invisible; he simply didn't give me a chance to lose. And Pasha's wish for good luck after my first loss had to work. I believe that this tournament brought us together, and in this, we are stronger than Portal. Thank you to our team; despite the fact that we lost, everyone fought to the end and with full dedication. Thank you to my opponent. It was very interesting and instructive to compete against a player of such a high level. I hope that we will meet again online. Good luck to everyone!
