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.

I confirm. On the other hand, I had problems finding the possible location of my opponent/utopia. I barely found one on the 4th week, and another one was revealed in a neighboring zone from the tower. Excited, I rushed in that direction and fell into an ambush, having only hunters and furies with me. Thank you for the game; the heroes were level 22 (Synitar) and 23 (Inga).

As part of the "Best of the Best" tournament: Vasja. (Orcs, Tilshek) def AID (Elves, Anven) - Maze map, 6-4-2. There's not much to write about, as the forces were "extremely" unequal. I leveled up while looking for an opponent, reaching level 28 with 35 attack points, while Anven had only 7 attack points... Vanya, thanks for the game! :smile14:

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.

It was a thing. Spawned infernos in the dungeon. Noticed it late. In the entire native respawn there was 1 free treasure chest. In the neighboring one, there were 2.:) Accordingly, the start was slow - I've gotten used to the huge amount of free stuff.
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.

As part of the "Best of the Best" tournament

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!

Confirming the kill report! Armageddon is incredibly powerful, and I didn't know how to counter it because its units are tougher than those of the Sylvan faction... first, a few Hydras survived, and in the second battle, the Minotaurs. Kill, thanks for the game!

As part of the "Best of the Best" Tournaments
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!

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.

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! :(

As part of the "Best of the Best" tournament: Leolopus (Orcs, Krag) - won; AID (Dungeon, Sinithar) - lost, Sun template, very large map without a metro, day 19. Krag - level 17, 13-7-1-2 (0-2) Developed attack - BB shooting Developed logistics - paths - path of war Expert in ballista, tent, triple shot Expert in blood rage - blood memory - power against magic. From the start, Krag, in the tavern, Keegan and Garuna, spent about 5 minutes deciding who to level up and eventually settled on Krag. By the end of the second turn, Krag was already level 7. The starting zone was not large; quickly clearing everything in it, by day 5, he broke through to an adjacent zone, which turned out to be with native lands. Besides the Orc dwelling and a couple of not very useful artifacts, I didn't find anything else in it, so I started breaking through the next portal (28 forest ents and a mix of djinns and archmages) which led to the fire land. To my great disappointment, I didn't find anything decent here either, so without lingering, I moved towards the next portal. At this time, the game switched to turn-based mode (I think it was day 14 or 15). Easily breaking through the next portal, to my surprise, I found myself in the opponent's starting zone and captured his Castle in one turn. A day later, Sinithar appeared, but instead of retaking his Castle, he moved towards mine. On the way to me, Krag caught up with Sinithar, and the battle was not long. The advantage in troops was clearly on the side of the Orc. Thanks to my opponent for the game!
