As part of the "best of the best" tournament:
Lok1978 (Dwarves of Inga) defeated Antonag07 (Lethos dungeon). Loss - Maze template.
I played very cautiously; to be honest, I was tired of losing. I constantly monitored my opponent, and it turned out that I almost didn't lose sight of him throughout the game. First, he came into the field of vision of the observation towers, then I took a silent hunter and revealed half of the map. At the beginning of the second month, I found a stronghold plus rings of speed and immediately headed towards them. A couple of days before the artifacts appeared, my opponent showed up in the territory that I had already explored and moved right to the location where the artifacts were.
Then it was just a matter of technique: I took the artifacts, reinforced my army, and attacked with the stronghold.
That's how the game went. My stats were 7-17-19-11, which is pretty good for a dwarf, plus the artifacts. He became a real monster!)
Antonag07, thank you for the game.

Tournament "The Best..."
Vector1 (mage, Razzak) def Smerti_Po (Barbarian, Argath) - Labyrinth, week 5
The start was successful, many treasure chests. Everything is very close, only dwellers were found on week 2. Managed to hire Hagesha - thereby somewhat limiting the opponent's centaurs. After taking the pyramid - Razzak learned Armageddon. Roughly speaking, this decided a lot.
In the final, somewhere in the middle of ГО, both heroes were level 20. But the combination of golems with Armageddon decided the outcome of the battle.
Thanks for the game, it was interesting and intriguing.
But even under those conditions, I could have won, if I hadn't decided in the final to kill everyone first and leave the golems for dessert:D. Why - I still don't understand.
Thanks for the game.

KillAndAction (Dungeon, Erathia) def. Raykkonen (Sylvan, Ilfina) Maze 2-2-1, very large map without a metro.
The game was interesting in terms of battles against a worthy opponent. Started with a Warlock and a Sorcerer, on day 3, Erathia appeared in the tavern. I stopped developing the Warlock and focused on Erathia. I leveled up quickly, so for the first 3 weeks, I was ahead of my worthy opponent in stats, but since logistics were only available at level 16, my opponent soon overtook me and surpassed me in development... While I was clearing out neutrals and running towards the Guardian, my worthy opponent also visited there. The first battle took place on the 5th week, I think, on day 3. I was level 19, my opponent was level 23.
Using all of Ilfina's units, she killed about 60% of my army. I used Armageddon and retreated...
I hired Erathia again and, having gathered all the money I could, attacked again.
My opponent retreated.
And then I attacked the opponent's city again.
Skills:
3 racial - Sense Magic
3 attack
3 chaos - Fire Lord
3 education - Attraction - Graduate
3 luck
3 logistics
Plus, the artifacts were so-so: the most useful one was the Phoenix Cloak.
That's all, guys!
Thanks for the game!
twaryna (Mages, Razzak) def A1coho1!c (Elves, Wingael) - Labyrinth, huge without metro, 2-4-7
The start was gorgeous - 3 native heroes, including Ora and Razzak + a ring +2+2 attack-defense. Razzak became the dad, Ora became the mom :) The whole game went easily and effortlessly (only very long), on the 3rd week a Dragon Utopia was spotted in one of the zones; Razzak headed there and took the maximum, losing a hundred gremlins. Ora was clearing adjacent zones during this time. Also, a ring +20 init and a quiver were bought in 2 shops, and a bow was found in a grave. In another shop, I bought the Tome of Darkness (leveling Chaos and Darkness). As a result, I was stocked with relics to the brim (I've never seen this before - definitely more than 10). In the second month, I took the 2nd Dragon Utopia, wandered through the treasury a bit, broke it, and rushed to ГО. After visiting the mentor, a mega-mage resulted: racial - mark; defense - 2hp - evasion - bdp; attack - bb - haste; chaos; darkness - mind lord. Knowledge was 30, there were tons of resources, so everyone was decked out from head to toe. Everything was gorgeous with artifacts too: staff - 20 init, ring +20 init, ring +10 init, Cap of Lion's Courage, Tome of Darkness, claw, etc. In the end, the finale happened at the approaches to the opponent's ГО guard (he attacked me). And although there was parity in terms of one-on-one meat, and he had overtaken me by 2 levels (24 against 26), the battle was a no-contest.
Thanks for the game!
Darth Erin (Haven, Vittorio) def. Alex_nv (Sylvan, Ossir) Maze 7-1-3 very large map, no starting towns.
Starting hero - Vittorio, in the tavern Iris.
Immediately started leveling up Vittorio. Received Fireball almost immediately, so there were no problems with neutrals. Reached level 29. Then I noticed the opponent on the horizon and teleported to the town. The opponent attacked, in the battle my ballista took away 11 dragons, the elven archers didn't have time to shoot, I killed them with adepts and griffins. The opponent surrendered. Ossir was level 24, 10-23-11-20.

Alex_nv, thanks for the game!!!
It happened! I lost! Again, I took too long to expand from my starting zones and allowed my opponent to loot all the treasures. Please, Erin!

Will (Vittorio's people) def. Xodun (Nazir's mages) with a score of 2-1-2 (approximately) in the "best of the best" tournament.
Vittorio is, well, Vittorio, although his opponent put up a good fight, capturing my castle, and in the end, I had to storm it in the final battle, which was successful.
Thanks for the game.
Confirmed.
As part of the "Best of the Best" tournament:
legasy.0.1 (Stronghold, Krag) def Vip.rus (Sylvan, Ossir) - Sun map, large size, no dungeon, exactly 2 months.
The battle was tough. Krag won. Thanks for the game.
I confirm. Krag is, in my opinion, an overpowered hero; he took out more than half of my army on his own! :(
