Adv (red, elves, Ilfina) won against Bolivar (blue, necropolis, Casper) in a maze, 1-1-7.

Casper kept going, and ended up in a gargoyle nest at the end of the first week. And it turned out to be full. Casper is good, but deceptive. )))
In principle, Adv suggested continuing, but... since he lost, he lost.

However, that's not true; we continued the game, and I also lost once, so I suggest either ending it or declaring a draw.

detmers (Haven) wins, sir moz (Fortress) loses.
He usually plays like this: first Haven and then Fortress – he takes Haven because he gets the Logu right away. In the Castle, he gets Resurrection and Mass Slow. He breaks through to the center, takes the Bow of Accuracy, and the Helmet and Chainmail. He only had 4 artifacts and 2 sets of items. He turns the blue creatures into yellow ones, breaks through to the Fortress, attacks Arghat with a third of his army, and takes the Boots from him. With the Boots, he catches up to Krag with 2/3 of his army. The archers with double direct damage and speed slow down the Petersburg orcs. He just got lucky.

detmers (Wing Forest) wins against sir moz (Argat, Crag Horde), Maze
He usually plays like this: starts with Wing and Osi – he took Wing because he immediately got the Logu artifact. In the Castle, he got Resurrection and Mass Haste. He broke through to the center, took the Bow of the Archers, and the Helmet and Chainmail. He only had 4 artillery units and 2 sets of troops. He converted the blue creatures to yellow, broke through to the Gate of the Goblin, attacked Argat in the Castle with a third of his army, and took the Boots of Speed from him. With the Boots of Speed, he caught up with Crag, who had two-thirds of his army left. The archers with double direct damage and Haste dealt massive damage to the St. Petersburg orcs. It was pure luck.
From my perspective, it looked a little different. Argat reached level 25 by the end of the third week, visited many zones, and consumed a lot of stat-boosting items. Even without good artifacts, his stats were 32, 19, Osi, and BDP. He collected a lot of creatures from the camps, spotted Wing in the second center, and jumped in to cause trouble. But Wing got lucky and went through the Gate of the Goblin. Everything happened very quickly, and Argat only had the portal with some weak creatures. Crag went to level up. Six heroes had "Protect Us All," and three had "Horde of Thugs" (if you put them all together, you'd have around 750 units by the fifth week. With such a powerful force, you could take a Castle without much difficulty, and there were also two very good heroes). But one wrong decision – giving the creatures to Crag and letting him search for the enemy – led to a significant defeat instead of a good victory.

drunk (red, mages, Hafiz) lost to dmitrik (blue, necro, Lucrezia) labyrinth, week 6

We played random, and this pairing came out. As necro, the start was usual — skeletons and hordes, quickly broke into the center and by the end of week two I flew into the adjacent zone toward the mage, but didn't go further because Hafiz was leveling quite strongly, and if he had chaos, I would've gotten beaten. Overall, I left to find the treasure zone, ended up finding two, ran around them a bit, and through ГО to the mage. I took [it] at the castle — it really helped: +4 to speed from logistics and staff -20 initiative.

Thanks for the game.

I recorded the replays of the toughest fight with the week two army, thought they'd tear me apart :smile13:

drunk (red, mages, Hafiz) lost to dmitrik (blue, necropolis, Lucretia) in the Labyrinth map, week 6
That's how it happened. I was prepared for a quick game, but not for a long one. Without the "Logistics" skill and "Boots of Swiftness," I fell behind significantly. The final battle was a one-sided affair.
Thank you for the game.

ekzekutor (blue, dark, summer) defeated Gastelo (red, humans, Elaine) in a diamond match. They met at the end of week 4 at the opponent's castle. Ekzekutor had a field army and retreated, leaving behind peasants, archers, and a few knights. Gastelo didn't wait for more attacks from Summer and surrendered. Thanks for the game.

ip0203 (blue, light, Ossir) lost to will (red, light, Wing + Talanar) with a smile.
The game didn't go well at all. In the first game, I managed to build 3 levels + a Stronghold, but in the second, due to poor planning, I was left without a castle. I also had bad luck with scouting – in the beginning of the second week, I was left with only 16 units. In the end, I decided not to waste my time or my opponent's time – I surrendered. Thanks for the game.

dwp (Ogre, Mage, Red) defeated bolivar (Dugald, Humans, Blue) 221 smiles

It turned out to be an unexpectedly long game.
I initially planned to rush with Chaos against Dugald, and it started quite well.
But Smiles became much stronger on the new map, and I wasn't prepared for that.
He wasn't allowed to get Log.
He ended up with 28 Daughters of Heaven. He only left the starting zone at the end of the second week.
After that, things were also rather sparse. And the paths to the resource and treasure nodes were very strong.
He went to the town. By the end of the third week, he somehow managed to reach level 20 there.
He teleported home, bought Thunderbirds, Mages, and Golems. He had no money and no resources.
He fought like that until the end, without any mini-arts. He rushed to the treasure node at the end of the fourth week, but he only just made it and missed, ending up in the resource node. After that, there was no point in wandering around; he went to the town. There was a battle at the beginning of the fifth week in the castle. He played a little poorly, but the archers carried him, and he lost a few Griffins, but the Golems, Mages, and 1 Colossus survived.
He bought Titans and Ghouls and rushed to the treasure node. But since Log hadn't appeared throughout the game, he arrived, and Dugald was right there, eating everything up.
Damn, he didn't manage to eat anything, so he had to run back to the castle. Along the way, he called in reinforcements and attacked 221.

The battle was close. Dugald had a lot of artillery, and I was empty.
If it weren't for the hit-and-run tactic, I would have definitely lost the first battle, but somehow I managed to pull through.

Thanks for the game. :)

dwp (Oracle, Mage, red) defeated bolivar (Dugald, Humans, blue) 221 smiles

It turned out to be an unexpectedly long game.
I initially planned to rush Dugald with Chaos, and it started well.
But the smiles became much more aggressive on the new generator, and I wasn't ready for that.
He doesn't give up.
At the end, I had 28 Daughters of Heaven. I only left the zone at the end of the second week.
After that, it was also quite empty, and the passages to the resource and treasure locations were very strong.
I went to the town. By the end of the third week, I somehow managed to reach level 20 there.

There was no point in wandering around, so I went to the town. There was a battle at the beginning of the fifth week in the Castle. I didn't play very well, but the archers carried me, and I had a slight advantage in griffins. I lost some golems and mages, and 1 Colossus.
I bought Titans and Ghouls and rushed to the treasure location. But since there were no logs throughout the game, I arrived, and Dugald was already there, right under my nose. Damn, I didn't have time to eat anything, so I had to run to the Castle. Along the way, I called for reinforcements and attacked 221.

The battle was on the edge. Dugald had a lot of artillery, and I was empty.
If it weren't for the hit-and-run tactic, I would have definitely lost the first battle, but somehow I managed to pull through.

Thanks for the game. :)

Yes, that's how it was. I just want to clarify that I never got the machines, so there were some awkward battles where I lost troops. There were no resurrections in the Castle. So, in both the first and second battles against the mage, I was behind in terms of troops. What was good about my build was reflection in defense and resistance in luck. And in the second battle, I had dwarven shields and greaves - I managed to get to the Utopia before the mage, plus there was a shop with artifacts. Also, a ring of lightning protection, a cloak of earth, and a flaming dragon tongue. But all of that turned out to be not enough - the mage also had expert summoning (I looked closely and saw it), and in the second battle, there was also a Phoenix. Which mowed down my troops.

Thanks to my opponent for the game and patience - it was my fault that we couldn't start the game right away.

detmers (Necropolis, Casper) defeated lok1978 (Sylvan, Gilraen) with a smile in the middle of the 3rd month.
The map was completely empty - absolutely no chests in the starting or transition areas. He got lucky with one - in the logger's hut! And then there was a long, drawn-out struggle with exchanging castles and mutual mistakes - but I almost didn't lose any units, while lok gradually lost his - the finale was interesting, but almost 600 zombies came out even after 6 or 7 Avatars of Vengeance.

I confirm.
Luck favors the strong. I was a little unlucky.
