Igor916 (Stronghold, Keegan) def. Lok1978 (Necropolis) with the "Very Big Smile" template, no underground.

I searched for him all over the map, which was very large. When I found him, I killed all his troops, and he fled. He bought more troops and attacked me, and we did this twice until I got close to his castle. He was constantly casting "Repair" on himself, which broke all my troops except for the Centaurs.
Overall, I enjoyed it. I could have won earlier, but it was my own fault that I couldn't find his castle before the population started and I passed by it.
Thank you for the game.

Confirmed, I lost. Regarding winning faster, I'm not sure, because I surrendered because I wanted to sleep. Remember, Igor.

Fashionable Tournament
immortal (Elves, Anwen, Red) defeated Moz (Humans, Vittorio, Blue) on Letos, week 5 or 6.

Vip.rus (elves, Ossir) def / Igrok_v_geroev (humans, Dugal) - Maze, 3-3-6

Once again, the elves turned out to be more aggressive than the humans. In terms of gameplay: both players spent 2.5 months leveling up, hoarding resources in the treasury. Igrok started earlier, so by the time of the battle, he had a higher level and better stats overall. Defense of 41:eek: Before the battle, in the tavern, they said I didn't stand a chance, and I was a bit discouraged. But during the battle, it turned out that things weren't as bad as they seemed. The paladins took down a few horses and then gradually died. The archers, with an initiative of 13, managed to shoot, eliminating almost all of the Archangels. Then, a nasty ballista finished them off. When it came to my hero's turn, I unleashed a barrage of arrows charged with Earth Shock. It was brutal!!! Many humans died))) In general, I started to gain the upper hand, and then Dugal summoned about 70 fire elementals and a phoenix to help. The elementals didn't help him much, but the phoenix killed a lot of my warriors and almost evened the playing field. But I finished off almost everyone with Chaos magic. Dugal resurrected a group of monks and retreated home, leaving me with about 30 units and a bunch of horses. My morale/luck ratio of 3/5 helped me a lot))) My opponent, thanks to the Cloak of Shadow, had 0/0. Without hesitation, I headed towards my opponent's castle, which was nearby, and finished him off there, amidst indignant cries like "damn elves":D Thanks for the game!

Alex_nv (Necropolis, Naadir) def Igor916 (Warlock, Kifrah) 2-3-1, Sun Template, "To Each Their Own"

Well, what can I say? :) I was lucky in everything! With the hero Naadir, right next to the castle, there was an artifact shop and a guild (Subjugation, Phantom, and Phoenix). My opponent was having a harder time – he wrote that he didn't get anything interesting. I cleared the starting area – defeating 26 Earth Elementals on day 4, I took the abandoned shack (Gold), on the 3rd week – the area with the Mercury Mine, and on the 4th-5th week, the area with the Gold Mine – 2 groves + 2 elemental repositories + 2 witch repositories (almost all maxed out!). I leveled up to 20 and decided to return to the castle for spells. Then Igor appeared with Kifrah! He hung out at the area with the Mercury Mine and then returned to his own castle, apparently. I spent some time in the main town and cleared a path to the silver and emerald mines. After buying artifacts from the 2nd month and troops, I went to the battlefield (it was the end of the 6th week), and Igor appeared again with a decent army led by 5 Black Dragons. He approached me closely. I bought the remaining troops from weeks 2-3-1, except for dragons and specters (I didn't take the week 7 bonus!), and attacked with an army of approximately 700+ alt. skeletons / 140 negre zombies / 20+20 alt. specters / 43 grade vampires / 31 grade liches / 17 heralds!

In the final battle, I used Phoenix + Raise Dead, and Phantom Skeletal once, but it failed because the opponent killed it with Meteor. That's it!

Primus (Necromancer, Zoltan) def A1coho1!c (Mage, Ora) - Sun, large map without underground, 1-4-3

He was doing great. In the second week, he had a setback. Apparently, the opponent was very upset by this fact, as he fell far behind in development. In the beginning of the second week, I took a scroll with the Berserk spell from the neutrals, and after that, it all went downhill for him! In the third week, our interests clashed, in the fourth week I took the utopia, in which I received the Tome of Dark Magic. On the next turn, the final battle took place. The opponent died from the very first cast! Thank you for the game.

Vip.rus (Dungeon, Iranna) def / Igrok_v_geroev (Academy, Razzak) - Chaos, approximately one and a half months

We were playing, and then I received a message that my opponent had surrendered on neutral ground. That's when we ended the game; the situation was roughly equal in terms of gameplay! Thanks for the game.

Enhanced Earth Shock was already dealing over 1000 HP; for mages, it was Fire Rain with pyrokinesis!:smile10:
