barma21(sylvan vinrael) defeated Mordas(sylvan gilraen) week 3
slowly developed - on the second week Ossir arrived - it became easier - there was logistics - took chaos and circle of ice, had a scroll of god' same revenge - and then the opponent threw in the Dragon Utopia

Yeah, I took a risk with 14 Archers, 67 Blades, 70 Fairies (all upgraded), 8 Fire Elementals and 4 Earth ones, plus mass Blessing and Stone Skin and an level 11 hero
and by the way it was the second week, day 12-13
I hit a Dragon Utopia at 4-4-6-8 and that's where I got wiped (the dragons were taking out 35 Blades at a time—Stone Skin didn't help for shit)

Lok1978(Dwarves Bears)-won Aleks-nv(Nura Mages)-lost 2-2-5
The start was, shall we say, not great. Inga and the Bears arrived (more accurately, a hero with bears), but in the entire starting area there wasn't a single pile of crystals. As a result, I only managed to plug in tans for 4 weeks. Regarding dwellings, there were none at all because the generator damn well generated half of the mage's lands, and for the dwarf only the starting area and ГО). That's the base I started with. At the end of the first week, they gave me one-hit machines, then fire ones. By the end of the second, I broke through to the mines and Dragon Utopia. The upgrade building was also there. Well, that' same the whole strategy (three adjacent zones with the mage's Dragon Utopia; I ran around there a couple of centimeters a day). Having built a chain, I decided to clear everything there. By the 5th week, I broke into the Castle, upgrading almost all troops. By this time, Nura had also reached her own domain.
And that was exactly what I needed; I went to hit ГО. By the breakthrough, I had level 20 machines fully equipped with a 4th shot ring, resurrection, and a resurrection rune as well.
Once I broke through to the mage, he surrendered. Alex saved the game.

Alex_R (Ingvar Dwarves) defeated Mordas (Mages?) in a very long game, lasting 2 weeks (at the beginning).
Oleg surrendered.
Thank you for the game!

As of today, the players who took 1st and 2nd place have been determined in two groups (congratulations to them), and in accordance with the regulations, we already have 2 pairs for the quarterfinals (see screenshot).

Lok1978(Dwarf Bears)-won Aleks-nv(Archmage Nura)-lost2-2-5

Confirmed! Having breached one of the passages into the adjacent zone with Nura, on the second week I decided to break through the entrance to the mini-center past a horde of bears and a horde of berserkers. Having lost a dozen mages (all of them), about 20 pests out of just over 200, and all the gargoyles (about 30), I decided to retreat and not force the portal exit, since my mana was almost depleted. It turned out that Lok had broken into the same mini-center, and the simultaneity ended. After pulling Nazir over with golems and other gargoyles, and handing over the pests... I made one of the two mistakes that ultimately cost me the game. Without scouting the exit with a cockroach, I jumped into the void with Nazir and... ran into a horde of liches, split into three stacks, one of which consisted of higher liches. All perished :( The hero fled in disgrace to the castle. And earlier, as it turned out, I had made the main mistake — I didn't break into the second adjacent zone. The first one was Necromancer territory, but the second turned out to be Mage territory (daaaamn, what a fool) with an external golem dwelling. And from there on, it was all Mage lands :(. Then Ibba broke through the liches, and it turned out the mini-center was also Mage territory. Too bad that Ibba, seeing the emptiness, turned back, apparently sensing something was wrong. And I had already gotten my hopes up for a last chance to attack her with shackles and magic, trying to overcome the dwarf, since I was just two days' travel from that portal. But it wasn't meant to be. Lok told the rest...

Smerti_Po (Humans, Rutger) defeated immortal (Orcs, Tilsek). In the third week, two heroes of level 20 met. The opponent didn't concede in time. Thank you for the game.

Smerti_Po (Humans, Rutger) defeated immortal (Orcs, Tilsek).
I confirm, I didn't use my brain at all in that battle :( ...

Smerti_Po, immortal
Please upload the "Repka" map if possible.

There wasn't anything interesting there; it was just a blunder on my part during troop deployment and in battle, so I didn't record it. Death probably happened too. Both had a two-week growth rate for archers and single units of peasant-goblins.

Indeed, there wasn't much to record. In short, the ballista killed the Kentaur in two rounds, and the single Goblins were defeated by the single Peasants. My archers were shot down by the Kentaur with the ballista.

dmitrik (red, dwarves, Ingvar) defeated raykonen (blue, elves, Anven) – Week 6

It was an interesting game, although I didn't have a great start. The machines haven't been helping my dwarves much in the last few games, so I was playing from behind. On the second day, I moved to the center, took a Utopia on the third day, broke through to the treasury, found another Utopia there, and that was it. There were no artifacts in the treasury, but there were a lot of monsters (I generated a very large one instead of a huge one, so it's my own fault).

On 2-1-1, I broke through to the Guardian of Order. The next day, an angry elf appeared on the other side, so I quickly ran to the Mentor, which a cockroach finally found in the center. I learned the Light spell for Chaos (my dwarf was growing well in magic) and just managed to jump back home. We decided to fight in the field. The elf had no fire resistance, which was lucky for me. However, in my excitement, I cast two Armageddon spells instead of one, when I should have resurrected someone. As a result, Michael raised archers and fled. I went to his Castle; the battle was tough, but I finally finished him off, and teleportation helped a lot.

Thank you for the interesting game.

I confirm Dmitrik's report. Everything was going well, but he fell for the "machines" again for no apparent reason, resulting in 3 unnecessary upgrades and failing to re-educate 5 units, as there was no mentor available. He also cleared a couple of dungeons, but on the fourth treasure, he decided not to risk defending the dwarven set (it generated exclusively dwarven items), and there wouldn't have been much point in doing so. It would have been easier with fire resistance, but they persistently used "Storm Wind." The inventory turned out to be a mess. Level 25 for the final, 15-20-16-15, 6 dragon artifacts, staff -20. Artificial defense - resistance Artificial logistics to path Artificial luck Artificial light to eternal Artificial machines(( Thank you for the game, Dmitry. Good luck in the semi-finals.

moz (red, orcs, Krag + Kilgan) defeated twaryna (blue, mages, Ora + Narhez) at the beginning of week 6. A relatively easy game for me: first, I used Kilgan to attack everything alive, and by level 124, I even managed to break into the Treasury, although I couldn't defend it. However, I at least got to see what was on the ground. From the beginning of week 4, I started clearing the second Treasury, defeated the enemies there, took everything of value, and returned to the first Treasury. By this time, Krag was already well-leveled (by the beginning of week 5), and he became the main hero. At the beginning of week 6, I broke through the portal from the Treasury to the enemy and was attacked by Narhez. In general, twaryna's game didn't go well, and the battle was one-sided. Krag, level 27, stats 30, 24, 10, 6 (army: 70 Paladins, 40 Earth Elementals, 5 Cyclops, 41 Kentaur (almost all of them were given to neutral creatures in the Treasury)). Considering that Narhez attacked from the darkness, I thought it would be tough, but he didn't have a proper army. And he couldn't decide on a summon at that stage. Thanks for the game.

moz (red, orcs, Krag + Kilghan) defeated twaryna (blue, mages, Ora + Narhez) at the beginning of week 6.
A relatively easy game for me: first, I cleared everything with Kilghan and a tent. By day 124, I even managed to reach the Treasure Chamber, although I couldn't defend it. But at least I got to see what was inside. Starting from the beginning of week 4, I started clearing the second Treasure Chamber, took the bracers, and grabbed everything of value before returning to the first Treasure Chamber. By this point, I had a well-developed Krag (by the beginning of week 5), who became the main hero. At the beginning of week 6, I opened a portal from the Treasure Chamber to the enemy's territory and was attacked by Narhez. Frankly, twaryna's game didn't go well, and the battle was one-sided.
Krag, level 27, stats 30, 24, 10, 6 (army: 70 Executioners, 40 Earth Elementals, 5 Cyclops, 41 Kentaur (most of them were given to neutral creatures in the Treasure Chamber)). Considering that Narhez attacked from the darkness, I thought it would be tough, but he didn't have a proper army. And he couldn't decide when to summon creatures.

Thank you for the game.

Confirmed. My game didn't go well at all. Thank you for the game!
