Posts from The Great Confrontation – reports and summaries.

I confirm. Yes, griffins were destroying everyone, no defense helped.

Moz (Talanar + Anven, Elves) lost to dwp (Nimus and Co, Demons) on M3, 147.

From the start, Nimus, Nimbros, and Sveya were present. I decided to go for Chaos and target the Elf.
It started off pretty well, but then things went downhill.
On the second day, Osir appeared in the tavern. There was no choice but to buy him. Hafiz ended up in the dungeon.

And this support team immediately started working. Hafiz gained troop growth, received a helmet that doubled his stats, and took control of the Castle. Sveya was developing Chaos and Education skills to pass Chaos on to the Demon. Nimbros was leveling up to increase the growth of Imps. And Osir, with his presence alone, was doing as much as everyone else combined. Because not only did he drop a 3rd-level dwelling, but the Elf's Castle also provided +1 Elf.

But Chaos wasn't being given. I cleared two adjacent dwellings. No 17th-level Chaos spell.
They also weren't giving me Battle Discipline, so I eventually stopped trying to get it and focused on other skills to improve defense.
I escaped through a dwelling into the third adjacent area, knowing that I wouldn't be able to return.
On the third week, I broke through to the main center, and right in front of it, I encountered the Elf. They finally gave me Chaos. I somehow managed to make it an expert skill by level 23. I saw a Fort in the center. I bought all the dwellings, except for the Pit, and, right under Talanar's nose (knowing that I was taking a risk), I passed the center to Nimus. In the center, I combined them, upgraded, and prepared to attack the Elf. BUT then Anven appeared with half of her army, took her trident, and attacked the enemy, but there was no chance for her. It was a one-sided battle

Will (Kragg, Barbarian) defeated dwp (Letos, Dungeon) in a spiral game. Week 3.

Nothing was working out. Although the position seemed good.
He surrendered to avoid prolonging the game.

Confirm

detmers(kigan22vitya23) lost to will(ora) maska

both wanted better iron) they struggled and struggled - but in the end they played - against Vila, luck should have been on his side - and there was no resurrection guild - they didn't give him a tent - in the shop, there was again no light - and of course, I had potions - because of which I surrendered - not fatal - but periodic - I lost a lot of griffins and paladins, and didn't save an archer - I didn't risk it in the treasury - I broke through from the outside - I lost griffins(( and the game was dragging on - you need to play Heroes in winter))

Confirmed, by week 4 I had already cleared one dungeon, but we started experiencing crashes, and the opponent decided not to continue. Thanks for the game.

Due to a lack of time, I request that I be marked as having lost the game against Alex.

dmitrik (red, mages, Nura) lost to Ekzekutor (blue, elves, Talanar) in a spiral match, 3rd week

In general, he surrendered on the 3rd week, as continuing would only waste his and his opponent's time.

The starting zone is elongated, huge, and empty, approximately the same as the adjacent zone. In two weeks, he reached level 9, had no money, and few resources. He couldn't find a way out of the adjacent zone to access resources, although two "roaches" (presumably fast units) had opened almost the entire adjacent zone. At the beginning of the 3rd week, he tried to break through a mini-treasury from the starting zone, which contained a hundred hydras, but his hero was only level 9. He lost 70 gremlins and 18 golems, although even with such a hero, he could have avoided losses if he had only taken mages. He checked with a "roach" to see what was on the other side: 11 sum. dragons and 34 nightmares. It was impossible to win with 22 archmages and any hero. He could have continued to search for a resource zone, but it would take at least 5 days to get there, and there would be no increase in money or resources, so he surrendered.

Thank you for the game.

It used to be. The old templates have become quite limited; without logic, you often have to play one battle per turn. Here, the Elves have it a bit easier.

ekzekutor (blue, humans, Rutger, Iris) defeated dmitrik (red, dwarves, Brand) in week 6.
He seemed to be struggling throughout the game, initially focusing on leveling up Rutger, but after losing two duels against griffons, he realized he needed Iris. However, he only started leveling her up slowly, around week 3, and she was only level 15 by the end of week 4. Rutger also turned out to be a rather weak unit. He barely managed to scrape together enough resources for training. Then, towards the end, he found a training building in a hut and, by transferring griffons and archangels, managed to level her up to 25 in a week. At the same time, on the 3rd portal, he entered the Treasury and acquired a maxed-out Temple and Utopia, with very useful artifacts for chaos resistance, as it turned out. Then, he jumped (after Rutger taught him the portal skill) back home and ran to attack the Guardian of Order. He was afraid that the opponent would rush and take his castle. That's where they met. Against Iris with two dwarven artifacts and the Forgotten armor, chaos didn't work. Although, if the dwarf had arrived a week earlier, there would have been nothing to fight with.
Thanks for the game.

ekzekutor (blue, humans, rutger, iris) defeated dmitrik (red, dwarves, brand) in week 6, I think.

That happened. We played at the end of week 5, but it turned out to be too late. When I saw two level 4 outposts, I immediately switched to Chaos, as I couldn't think of anything better against Iris with griffins. I spent too long searching for spells on the map, and I mistook a minor treasure for a major one, which resulted in me falling behind in resources and not being able to buy enough troops quickly. In the final, there was no chance; against my Chaos, my opponent had -50% to earth and fire, two dwarven units with -40% and 45% resistance, which I absolutely didn't expect.

Thanks for the game, Alexey played well and deservedly won the tournament; my congratulations :)
