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

Academy with mini-artifacts – they are powerful everywhere.
On turn 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, Academy, 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 be available in a few days.
Hafiz had manacles, but he didn't equip them.
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's city through the Gate of the Elements.
The final battle was in his city. The mage had too much of an advantage in terms of meat and other stats (except for magic). Plus, Hafiz's skills were almost unused – the battle was just too quick.
Letos was level 25, Hafiz was level 30 (he got the log when his level was already over 20).

I confirm ekzekut's report. There's a huge difference in stats. The starting and adjacent zones are terribly stretched, and he fell behind in development. Thanks for the game.

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

Had 1-3 growths at spawn, week 2 - double growth for all creatures :D so there were 59 archers,
and I didn't bother upgrading and just leveled, luckily I found Bless.
Went at a moderate pace, level 20 on day 20, but Light was only given on day 21 :), so I had to grind to level 23 before the split.
On day 4 I ran the route: adjacent zone - center - secondary zone, on day 5 I broke into the treasure zone, and on day 6 we met the opponent's GG there.
Even though our armies were evenly matched, Ossir was noticeably older than Ingvar, so it turned into a one-sided game.

Here's how I leveled:
Ossir lvl 30: 29-22-16-23
3 racials - Rain, Arrow
3 attack - Ballista, Archery, Tactics
3 logistics - Pathfinding, to Intelligence
3 defense
3 luck - to Elven Luck (thanks to TE, now it can be taken for Ossir too)
3 light - Protection + Fire Resistance, Blessings (tried for 2 days to have the mentor unlearn it in exchange for Mass Haste, but no luck, pushed Eternal Light 4 times)

Thanks to the opponent for the game!

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!

I confirm - leveling was difficult, logistics was never given until the end of the game, so I moved like a turtle with broken legs and a pinched tail:smile05:
Machines were given but only towards the end of the game.. so it's hard to compete with an elf in level,
by the way, on week 2 with double growth it was even harder - since there were no free wood piles, I decided at the end of week 1 to build bears instead of spears...
that's where I messed up
thanks to the opponent for the game and a couple of useful tips!

MakStar30 (red, mages, Hafiz) lost, and Kolobok (blue, Dungeon, Sinitar) won. Week 6.
I think I did everything correctly, 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 a fever event, I was only level 17 and had a significant stat disadvantage. Then I caught up a bit, upgraded my creatures and everything else, 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.

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.

Confirmed! He didn't make it to the Castle, and the battle against the Elves in the field was like death:rolleyes:

BOLIVAR
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).

Confirmed! This was the first time that "Arcane Wave" was given only once, and instead of it, Chaos was chosen, and "Sense Magic" was never given. If all of this had been available, he probably would have been able to destroy any enemy stack with a single magic blast, as the explosion dealt 2200 damage without any proficiency skills. ;)

Leolopus (dwarves, Brand) won, chOOpеr (mages, Jalib) 1-3-2, Labyrinth map
In principle, as I understand it, the opponent hasn't been playing online for very long. The choice of the hero Jalib, of course, surprised me a bit; it's not often you see that. As chOOpеr explained, he wanted to level up a skilled wizard, and I think that's another mistake. Chaos (in the form of a single magic school) isn't the best helper for leveling up (unless you're playing in a dungeon). In short, the opponent lost during the exploration of the main town. Brand, on the other hand, was a pleasant surprise; he had no problems with leveling up, except that he only got the log cabin at level 20. By level 24, Brand was already far ahead and had Resurrection, a tent, and Ogre Slayers, so he didn't really hesitate whether to attack or not attack evil neutrals. As a result, at the beginning of the second month, he already had 6 Dragon Guards and an Archer's Dream Bow. Thanks for the game!
P.S. We didn't replay the game; besides prolonging the game, it probably wouldn't have changed anything.

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 victory.
Thank you for the game.

Confirmed.
There seems to be a lack of experience playing on templates for the tournament; with each game, it gets worse and worse. Many mistakes were made during the game, resulting in losing creatures, which wasn't critical but had a significant impact. The artifacts weren't particularly helpful. The Warrior was upgraded with:
Racial Expertise - Shout, Mark
Darkness Expertise - 3 Lords
Defense Expertise - Resilience, Hide, Dodge
Logistics Expertise
Attack Expertise - Tactics, Frenzy, Ranged Attack
Education Expertise - Eye, Attraction, Scholar
Thank you to my opponent for the game!!!

That's right, the final was intense! For a while, I thought the outcome was uncertain. Thanks for the game. With a little more practice, the tournament results will be completely different. Good luck.

dmitrik (Dungeon) won against beardedbeer (Gnomes)
ekzekutor (Demons) won against beardedbeer (Orcs)
sonik81 (Dungeon) won against beardedbeer (Demons)

dmitrik already knows that I surrendered to him (in reality, I lost due to monsters anyway), ekzekutor and sonik81 don't know yet, but that's how it is. I'm writing this so that their wins are recorded, as we played fairly and there wasn't much left to play until the end.

I also want to inform you that I am forced to withdraw from the tournament, so the remaining unplayed games should be recorded as technical wins/losses.

Unfortunately! Sorry.

dmitrik (Dungeon) won against beardedbeer (Fortress).

We started a while ago, and continued yesterday. While I was trying to remember what was happening, I received a message about the surrender.

Thanks for the game.

I'm a little surprised that BeardedBeer gave up, but that's how it is, and I'm even a bit disappointed. The opponent says he leveled up Nimus's super ability (but I was expecting this move from him – I read the previous reports). I estimated my chances at 2 to 1 in my favor, and I'll explain why (when I lose, I know I'm losing). Erin didn't lose a single native unit -1 +2 beasts +1 minotaur pit -2 additional scout building -3 bought 8 lizards in the houses -4 building a higher-level building would have been mine by the end of the week -5 Rain dealt 2000 damage with boots, and that's without chains -6 Shock was there, the ring was there, the chain was there (at that moment) -7 Treasure was nearby, and the Ent's amulet was guarding it -8 (it's mine, without losses, except maybe a couple of elements) -8 I was running around like crazy -9 He didn't have much meat for Nimus, which would have been vulnerable to my magic -10, and most importantly... and so on. But still, thank you to my opponent for the game. I wouldn't be too happy about the surrender:smile32:

detmers (Sylvan, level 24) defeated raykonnen (Human, level 25).
Dwell, level 3, made me very happy). I was playing calmly, then Rutger arrived with a small army – I sent him away with all my might. He came back again for some reason – I already had a portal to the city – I sent him away again). Then I went to the Treasury, where we met – my opponent didn't stand a chance.
