Kolobokk (Red, Elf) defeated Lok1978 (Dungeon, Blue) 2-2-3

The game was interesting, the Dungeon player was strong. I leveled up to 27, but couldn't find the treasure and went into the endgame. By the final, I was already level 30, thanks for the game.

immortal (Red, Orcs, Haggeesh) defeated Shadow35 (Blue, Inferno, Deleb) 2_1_7.
Well, what can I say, Haggeesh is a beast of a hero. He took the attack tactic, BDP for defense, and didn't have any particular problems... Thanks to Logistics and Path of War, he moved quickly. He also got lucky with education. In the 3rd week, he cleared the resource, leveled up to 21, and rushed home at the beginning of the 4th week to get reinforcements. Then he headed to the center, didn't linger there much, and took only one Entar. Because the nearest portal was in the Treasury. He broke into it on 1_4_7, and at the beginning of the 5th week, he took the Sunken Temple. By that time, Entars were already being taken on auto-battle. There were some good artifacts there, but the guards were very inconvenient... I was already thinking of returning home and going through the Gate of the Underworld, but then the Inferno player appeared in the same center and headed towards my portal to the Treasury. I had just enough movement points to reach him, so I pulled up the entire army in a chain and attacked. As a result, I gained an advantage in both army and hero level, so the battle was one-sided... Thanks for the game.

ekzekutor (blue, gnomes, dwarves) defeated eldarmoon (red, elves, haven)

KillAndAction (Academy, Hafiz) def. Lok 1978 (Mountain, Ingvar) 2-3-6

I immediately found a resource zone, then the center, and a treasure (I only took the staff -20 to initiative). Our interests crossed there, I created some minor artifacts and moved through the Guardian Order to the opponent's zone.

Hafiz, level 29: 13-8-31-30
3 racial - mark - mirror
3 machines - machine gun - first aid kit
3 summons - fire warriors - lord of life
3 spell - secret knowledge
3 education - magical reward - graduate
3 logistics
I'll probably write a report. Ingvar and a dwarf came at the start. I took Ingvar, hoping for a quick acquisition of building development points. There was a level 3 Temple with a ring of rings near the castle. The question of magic was resolved by itself.
I was breaking through everything. But the lack of logistics affected the speed of acquiring skills. Plus, rings are rings, but dwarves don't have dark ritual, so I periodically ran to the wells. In the third week, I defeated 140 liches (with losses, one stack was half-covered by terrain, 52 of them, and by the time I reached them, 70 archers had left).
In general, I squeezed out everything I could, took a staff and the Forgotten One's amulet, plus an ice amulet from the shop. As a result, I didn't have enough for improvements of towns and battles.
The final game is uploaded, you can take a look. The only thing is that the opponent slightly lied about the acquired artifacts. But this wasn't the last game, we'll take it into account.
Thank you for the game.
Here's the final game:

Thanks for the game.

chudo_udo (red, humans, Laslo) lost to dmitrik (blue, humans, Miv) week 6

I think I got lucky with the heroes. On the first day, I got Miv, and on the second day, I got Vitek, who became the main hero for the first two weeks and earned money.

Miv started running on 3 arches from the beginning of the third week, then got trained monks and quickly caught up with Vitek in levels. At the end of the 4th week, he broke into the Treasury, and I got lucky with a cloak -2 BD and luck, everything else was so-so, for sale.

At the end of the 5th week, I broke into the Guild of Outcasts, bought the armor of the forgotten hero, and went to the opponent. We fought near the castle. Dexter was training horses; if they had morale, they could have caused trouble, but the morale didn't work, so the opponent surrendered.

Thank you for the game, good luck in the tournament.

ekzekutor (red, humans, rutger) defeated barma21 (blue, elves, vinrael) 2.2.3. Humans, as I think, are very strong on this map. Lots of money for training.
