ХитрыйКот (red, dwarves, Ingvar) lost to Adv (blue, elves, Ossir) on Labirynth, week 6

At respawn 1-3 growths, week 2 - double growth of all creatures :D had 59 archers,
so I didn't grind much and leveled up, luckily I found bless.
Went at an average pace, day 20 level 20, but light was only given on day 21 :), so I had to grind to level 23 before splitting.
On week 4 I cleared the route adjacent zone-center-secondary zone, on week 5 I broke into the treasure zone, and on week 6 we met there with the opponent's ГГ.
Though our armies were equal, Ossir was noticeably older than Ingvar, so it was a one-sided fight.

Here's how I leveled:
Ossir lvl 30 29-22-16-23
3 magic - rain, arrow
3 attack - BB, archery, tactics
3 logistics - pathfinding, wisdom
3 defense
3 luck - up to elven (thanks to TE, now it can be leveled on Ossir too)
3 light - defense + fire protection, blessing (spent 2 days trying to forget it with the mentor in exchange for mass haste, but no luck, pushed eternal light 4 times)

Thanks to the opponent for the game!

Will, red Elves of Gilraen, defeated Lutii, blue Mages of Orah, in the Labyrinth, week 5.
After passing through the Gate of the Overlord, he captured the enemy's Castle, where he bought a staff, and then the final battle took place in the field; he didn't reach the Mages' soldiers.

Lutii (red, dungeon, Letos) lost to Bolivar (blue, Mages, Hafiz), 3-1-5, Maze

Mages with mini-artifacts – they are Mages everywhere.
In round 2-4-4, the opponent teleported all his troops from the Castle (except for the Furies) to one of the zones where my hero was. The danger was high; I only had 3 stacks – Thunderbirds, Mages, and Gremlins. But with mini-artifacts.
I didn't want to give up the zone – there was a shop with artifacts there, and new ones would appear in a few days.
Hafiz had manacles, but I didn't put them on.
As a result, Letos managed to escape with 2 Hydras, and I lost a third of my troops.
After that, I cleared the zone a bit, teleported to the city, used the mini-artifacts to the fullest – and went to the opponent through the Gate of the Overlord.
The final battle was in his city. The Mage had too much of an advantage in troops and other stats (except for magic). Plus, Hafiz's skills were almost unused – the battle was just over quickly.
Letos was level 25, Hafiz was level 30 (he got the log when he was already over level 20).

drunk (Inga, Erling the Gnome) defeated ip0203 (Zoltan the Necromancer) in week 7.
Inga learned all the runes except one. Erling collected the Gnome set in the Treasure. The final battle was a one-sided affair.
Thank you for the game.

MakStar30 (red, mages, Hafiz) lost to Kolobok (blue, Dungeon, Sinithar) who won. Week 6 of the tournament.
I think I did everything right, just a bit slowly. There was no well in the starting area, which also slowed me down. As a result, by week 4, which unfortunately had the Fever event, I was only level 17 and had a significant stat disadvantage. Then I caught up a bit, upgraded my units, and did the rest, but I couldn't catch up to my opponent.
In the final, he came to my castle. He was level 24, and I was level 20. We fought well, but the Dungeon's special ability made a difference – he burned my entire army with pyrokinesis.
I tormented him with darkness – he was left with a stack of hydras. This was my second game in the tournament – it went better than the first, although the result was the same :)

dmitrik (Dungeon) won against beardedbeer (Fortress).
