Vip.rus (Undead, Lucretia) def / lose Igrok_v_geroev - Maze, 2-4-4

This map turned out to be a real paradise for the Undead, if that's even possible:D. Right next to the main town, there were 2 dwellings, providing 4 Vampires or Zombies every week (mostly they were Vampires). And I was also collecting resources from about 3 dwellings, totaling 5 per week. Around week 3-4, I captured a bunch of Elven dwellings, almost all levels, and a lot more. In short, my army was growing by the hour. I developed peacefully; I got Logistics almost immediately (it seems my opponent didn't get it for a long time), and Education was given much later. There were about ten mentors on the map, in almost every location. I captured 2 towns, continued exploring the map, and found a treasure. Right away, I found the War Chains. On the next turn, I ran into a weaker opponent:smile08: And that's the end of the story! Of course, I really wanted to have a mega-battle with all my armies, but I was a little afraid of the Humans' Knights (they say there were already about 80 of them), and the game was dragging on, and I had to go! In the end, the opponent left the battle unfinished (I don't like it when they do that!!!) Thanks for the game.

Vip.rus (Orcs, Haggesh) def / lose Lok1978 (Humans, Dugal) - Letos, 2-2-5, I think!

During extensive leveling, I reached level 20; with attack with BB, shooting, OS; logistics with sharp mind; and machines with a ballista and 3 shots. Through another portal, I flew right to my opponent, having a superior army, including 14 paoka, about 250 centaurs, and others. During a quick battle, I lost about 40 centaurs, and my opponent lost almost his entire army except for the Zealots, and he surrendered. We didn't continue, and he acknowledged me as the winner! Well, in general, that's the right outcome!:D
Thanks for the game)

Igrok_v_geroev (Dwarves of Ingvar) won against Leolopus (Elves of Ilfirin) using the spider map template without a dungeon.
The map wasn't generated very well, I didn't like it. I ran around, ran around, and then ran to the enemy's castle. In his absence, I captured the castle, brought reinforcements, and then we fought. We fought a little, and then the enemy ran out of war supplies. I think this victory was easy for me.
Thanks for the game.

Primus (Mage, Nur) def Igrok_v_geroev (Dwarf, Karl) - Letos, very large map without underground, 3-1-4

We played several times, so I don't remember much. The final battle was in the opponent's castle. I didn't expect it to be so difficult. The opponent forgot about machines and logistics on the Mentor and focused on defense and education. As a result, the Dwarf turned out to be very strong - skilled defense with BB, ranged attack + skilled defense with evasion and 9 27 ? 19 stats for the main hero. Divine Vengeance, Resurrection, Artifact Absorption, and Subjugation artifacts were very helpful; against the Berserker, the Shield turned out to be:mad:! With the Seal of Light, Karl ran out of mana quickly, so he relied only on antimagic and a few mass spells. Thanks for the game!

Primus (Necromancer, Nadir) def Igrok_v_geroev (Dwarf, Ingvar) - Sun, very large without underground, 2-3-7
Caspar and Nadir from the start. Since one-man armies are forbidden, I had to take Nadir, but I wasn't particularly upset. Leveled up normally, upgraded Higher Education by level 6-7. Unfortunately, Logistics and Spiritual Connection weren't available for a long time. In the third week, I decided to attack a squad of cyclops; it turned out there were 9 basic and 9 upgraded ones. I messed up, miscalculated, and in the end lost 40 ghosts—short by one mana for raising them. At the end of the fourth week, I reached level 20 and crashed into the Castle. I couldn't find a library anywhere on the map. I had to go look for other spells with Berserker, Unholy Word, and Heavenly Shield. At 2-1-3 I grabbed Shackles and ran with my entire upgraded army toward the opponent; he was not far from me. I was just a few steps short of ending the game. The opponent had apparently only reached level 20, so he gave about 250 warriors and 150 spear masters to the cockroach, and then crashed into the Castle himself. On the next turn, the opponent's squire was killed. In the middle of the sixth week, I finally found Ice Shield, as I was 99% sure that Igrok would go for Chaos with Pyrokinesis. In the seventh week, I opened two Dragon Utopia and retrained as a Mentor. Then I spent almost a week running to the opponent, as jumping would have taken even longer. The finale was in the opponent's Castle and it was one-sided. Thanks for the game!

Leolopus (Stronghold, Wingael) - won; Lok1978 (Magic, Nur) - lost - Chaos, very large.
The opponent was very strong and was ahead in levels throughout the game, but he came to me with a not very large army, apparently relying on magic and spells of Darkness and Chaos (he had everything!!!), and paid for it, the nimble elves quickly did their job )) I don't remember the stats of the heroes, as both quickly left the game, Lok, thank you for the game!
