To avoid any complaints later, we've drawn the playoff bracket in advance. Please pay attention - post #3!!! ;)

Players from the same group can only meet in the final.

Javdet (ramp, red, Kyrre, Kyrre) def Loi (necromancer, Thant, Thant) 2sm4d3 147

Victory due to speed - Kyrre with all the traveling ammunition and regular visits to stables.
And the start was rough. Respawn in the center, without hideouts, beehives, or cans, with only 7 elves I dream of guys with spears... up the road a barbarian secondary, down something on the grass, but behind a blocker of horses, I think I found a way around, but upon approaching the conflux town I turn back - right next to it a group of flies guard a pillar and an artifact for +4 magic. Returned home for a shield +5 - a loooot of gr centaurs died, then I put the blocker of horses in, and after the flies there were 4 horses, 4 puppets, and about 20 grand elves left.... Clearing to take the barbarian secondary and Kyrre with pathfinding finds 2 movement dwellings and another scout hero dwelling not far away - life improves. Had to shell out 7k gold for Earth magic, but it was worth it - in the Dragon Utopia they gave the spell book for it, on 147 capture of the enemy capital and then capitulation - Thant never came out of the Dragon Utopia.

Thanks for the game.

Tough Situation (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Dubrovin Pavel (red, ramp, Kirr, Kirr), 2sm4d3, 133

Thanks for the game, it was interesting)

I haven't been able to play Heroes for a long time.

There was a time.
Now I've gone to the other extreme - I don't take breaks, even though there was only one path.

In the first week, I secured Consul on my own map and Consul on the Conflow map. Knights in the Castle.

In the second week, I got Consul Tier 2 and Tier 3, but no Magic was given. There was only a passage to the Treasury, which wasn't easy to reach. I messed up when I didn't break through the Snipers and send Loshk there, who would have revealed the defenseless Shakti with a Spy, but instead I got distracted by the Hive, and in the end, I didn't have enough moves.

In Fortress Battle, I had no chance, because I still didn't get Magic, and the first turn and mass spell cut down a lot of my troops.

Thanks for the game!

We agreed on Fortress Battle, especially since the main heroes are standing face to face.

Cool!:)

Thanks for the game.

On the second week I played sloppily, without replenishing mana and failing to notice that the ogre mages were guarding not only the psychs' external dwelling, but also a tree, a resource, and a scroll—I attacked, and after meeting 48 moralists, I was left with 80 skeles. The second throw happened at the start of the third—purely due to forcing the tempo. Anyway, by the end of the fourth, with a pitiful 300 skeles, 7 horses, 2 angels, 6 vivs, and 20+ ghosts, I limped over to the Dragon Utopia—I attacked without even looking—it was a max stack; I threw for the third time with a peaceful soul, leaving 10 living drags wondering what kind of weakling had come to visit them.
Thanks for the game!

Group H (2sm4d(3))

scorp (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def Деконтаминатор (red, Rampart, Kyrre, Kyrre) 2sm4d(3), 132

111 - 5 heroes, 100 Troglodytes, a couple of steps short of reaching the scout tower, 3 Troglodyte external dwellings and 1 Harpy external dwelling visible
112 - scout tower: nothing interesting, ГО, Inferno secondary worth 50-99 upg Lizardmen
113 - Necromancer secondary
114 - Gnome dwelling with 15 each
115 - breaking through the treasure guard
116 - red flag flickers on my secondary (Inferno), which is along the path, I break myself home to break through 50-99 Mummies for a Pandora's Box and a Mercenary Camp
117 - I lose 120+ Troglodytes without finishing off a couple of Mummies (85 units), a scout finishes them off with 2 Medusas, doesn't touch the Pandora's Box (80 basic Troglodytes), and in the camp there are normal Genies - apparently in vain, for buildings: dwellings 1-4,6 in the Citadel, in the secondary 1000 coins, market and Vampires for breaking through the level 1 block - for scouting
121 - in the camp there are upg Dragonflies, one for speed for the miner
123 - Naga Bank with 4 with an upg stack and a Hive with 6 Wyverns
125 - another 2 Naga Banks with 2 each
126 - Kyrre flies out of the Inferno secondary with a decent army, I break myself home and transfer the army
127 - didn't expect an attack on the capital and Fireball

Shakti 4 6 3 4 (40 mana - expert Haste): 163 upg Troglodyte, 6 Wyverns, 4 Centaurs, 17 Evil Eyes, 8 Medusas, 12 Harpies, and 1 upg Dragonfly

Kyrre 5 7 2 3 (20 mana - expert Slow/Archery): 1 Angel, 22+1 upg Pegasus, 45 Grand Elves, 6 upg Unicorns, 9 Dendroid Soldiers, and 50+ Centaurs

immediately neither player reveals mass magic, in the second round Mass Slow, the gate is blocked by a half-wounded Angel, 22 Pegasi fly over (there was morale — so it moved again) - the response is Mass Haste and the Pegasi die, a shootout with bows and in the end 1 Unicorn remains, 8 Dendroid Soldiers, and about 30 Centaurs, on my side I have 5 Wyverns, Evil Eyes, Medusas, about 100 Troglodytes, Harpies - roughly like that, Mass Haste, and then 2 Dendroid Soldiers remain and petrified Centaurs - retreat

next I head to the capital of the reds, since they are tight on gold, I take the Inferno secondary with the scout and then Shakti is on the grass

132 - I attack the capital, there are 10-19 Grand Elves, 4 upg Unicorns, and a handful of Pegasi, Shakti with growth easily wins

Thanks for the game, once again surprised by Mass Slow - second game in a row ))

121-127 Griffin Conservatory at 3, scout kills the unicorn niche, another Griffin Conservatory at 3 angels, secondary Dungeon...
131-137 Griffin Conservatory at angel, war for the opponent's native secondary. I take his capital and home Dragon Utopia at 136 for 3 black dragons, gave a sword +5 to all...
141-142 delivery of growth, blocking Tant in the portal, he attacks himself and dies a hero's death. Necros are not rolling these days!!!
Thanks for the hot match...

I enjoyed the game and the communication in the chat!
Thank you for the game and the experience.

SEM_56 (red, Rampart, Ivor, Ivor) def Alone (blue, Necropolis, Tamika, Tanta) 2cm4d(3), 142
Tanta blocked in the portal, attacks on his own and dies a hero's death. Necros don't roll these days!!!
Thx for the hot game...

Took all the rest, the surface spawned secondary swamp. There were 2 experience pillars, but the two necros never got advanced necromancy. Tanta was forced to level expert earth. In the capital, he placed horses in the citadel, the exterior skeletons were painted and 2 more were revealed far away under guard. Without necromancy, at the end of the week a pathetic hundred skeletons. On the second day, troops are transferred to Tamika, who takes the angel, then skeletons and the angel to Tanta, horses to Tamika, who clears the native respawn. The necromancer's mage takes the native secondary through the portal and there cons to 3 angels, breaks through to the treasure zone entry. On the second day, with the forces of two expert necromancers, there are already about 4k skeletons, a citadel and liches in the secondary. On the third week, there are plans to unite the army and first take the home Dragon Utopia, and then in the treasure zone — where I seem to be the only one with entry. BUT Ivor arrived just in time, positioning himself right between Tamika and Tanta. He moved the troops from the capital off-road around the capital, united the forces, took back the necro secondary, and from there Tanta left for the unexplored treasure zone. Then several battles with leftovers — sent Mephala to the tavern 3 times. Tanta got 20 wis, but the treasure zone is empty — only +2 all stats boots on the parameters. In the final, without growth and significantly lagging behind in stats — lost. Once again convinced, in a quick game the mage loses to the warrior.

Thank you for the intense game.

Kluka (blue, Dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def NumOne (red, Barbarian, Gurnisson, Gurnisson) 2sm4d(3) 122

I have a strong secondary town (at the top!) and plenty of money.
My opponent has the opposite – no secondary towns and a financial crisis.

I played terribly myself, but on turn 122, I received news of his surrender.

Thanks for the game.

PS. 1:1 in head-to-head matches.

Kluka (blue, dungeon, Shakti, Shakti) def NumOne (red, Barbarian, Gunnisson, Gunnisson) 2sm4d(3) 122

Confirmed.
The roads are slow, the wolves are not built. The map is very stretched out in all directions, but there is little money. I fell for an external dwelling of behemoths, but the guard was up to 99 lvl rag-troops (also guarding were level 3 magic and boots of speed, meaning it could have been nearly a hundred). I might have decided to take them on by the end of the week, but I just couldn't advance ballistics; instead, I found another external dwelling of behemoths guarded by up to 19 ogres. On day 117 I break it, and on day 121 I decide to break a nearby Griffin Conservatory with 2 behemoths. I scouted it with a scout hero - a two-layered dwelling, and I didn't want to retreat since there would be no need to double back. I attacked out of greed and was defeated. Serves me right.

Thanks for the game!

Forrest (Blue, Rampart, Ivor) def Javdet (Rampart, Kyrre), 1-2-7, 2sm4d(3), TE (no experience tax)

Used all restarts. Romych 1-1-1.
Middle income. Lots of gold. Two grass tiles, but no conservatories or external dwellings (only human horses) on three grass tiles (later found a min Griffin Conservatory).
On the first week, 8 heroes. 3 of them have +350. Leveling Jenova. Using her for scouting. She helps find the conservatory and the external dwelling of cavaliers (she takes it too). I clear the first Garrisons of Fools for 65 griffins with upgrade. Later, the GOF helps beat shooter guards without losses. Ivor gets nothing good until day 6. Then I take Resist. Then Armor. I become a Warrior. At least something. Twice refused magic. Earth and Water. Eventually take Earth. Jenova breaks through into two treasuries for scouting. Nothing special there. Ivor is on a small turn without even stables. Jenova with a scout shines alright. I buy two more +350 heroes and level them through the obelisks. Income is high.
It should be noted that the GO is not visible. There was a block from the gogs; no tempo to kill.
In the end, I still find the temple. And Shiva 4+4 Pegasi, 5 Centaurs, and 7 Dendroids take down 45 gogs, advance the scout, and reveal a spherical GO — upgraded pits. Stables nearby. Pure rush for Kyrre. I spend a day in the treasury, take 25 war goats from the box, clear boots from a crowd of cyclops. On the opponent's side, I see a brief glimpse of Mephala at the GO and someone crashed. The hero list shifted. I decide not to tempt fate and after a few moves, I break through home via a Dragon Utopia. Don't even pick up +4 SP. And Ivor 10-10-2-3 heads home. Jenova in the treasury — I plan to use her 1-2-7 to haul the army back there while guarding with Ivor. Jenova will take 3-3 fangs. Income is cosmic — also took a gold mine. I build horses with a citadel in the Castle. Then I head to kindergarten to pick up my son. I say about 15 minutes.
I come back — Romych surrendered) He killed the GO with Kyrre but ran to the castle with Mephala. And there's Ivor) with the whole army) Thanks for the game. It was very pleasant to play with Roma.
