GL orcs haga defeated a-l-m-e-d-e-m-e elves tala sun 2-2-7
2nd generation, 2nd time haga and 2 dwell. On 1-3-7 there was a choice - either through the adjacent zone to the enemy, or into the treasure zone. Leveled up BDP on the portal pits - decided to take a risk - broke through, and on the other side hydras). Practically without losses in the treasure zone. There lava, a week there, a week in the mini and a week at his place - ran a lot - collected little, bare everywhere. Final fight at the elf's castle 28 lvl vs 24, heavily suppressed magic, took down the druids immediately - the rest hardly bothered. Got lucky with the ATB setup as well. Thanks for the game!
P.S. On week 4 I was still a bit afraid of the kragu - which at that time was at the elf's and was not inferior to haga in stats

GL orcs HAGA defeated a-l-m-e-d-e-m-e elves TALA SUN 2-2-7

it happens)

1st generation: a tolerable setup, there's Lucretia, tolerable starting conditions but with poor troops - HAGA has a hero with a nymph and some recruits, I take a rest.
2nd generation: on the starting map, there's Talanar, with horses and a summoning skill, there's no regeneration in the game master mode, there are archers all around, only Kreg is pleasing, but you can't outsmart an orc with Kreg =\ - HAGA has a hero with a nymph and some recruits).

kontra(demons, Grok) lost to oneman(dwarves, Karli) 1-3-6 Spider

We played without restarts. I got a very lucky hand (not that I know how to play it :)). I got Karli and a character with priests. Nearby I found a dwelling with spears. The portals weren't offering anything particularly good, and they wouldn't let me have the tent; I only started breaking through on day 7. Karli was leveling up incredibly poorly. By the end of the game I only had 3 secondary skills (soldiering, tent, and BB), the rest went into primary stats because at each level I was given 1-2 useless skills from the luck tree. I quickly scouted all the adjacent zones with war dancers. I couldn't break through the guards there even by week 3. So I farmed the small treasure zones, built up my castle nicely, and saw that Grok had teleported into my adjacent zone. I returned the main hero to the castle, learned useless runes, and sat down to wait. On the next turn, Grok accidentally ran into the wrong portal and lost 12 horses there, although in the end it wouldn't have made much difference. I was expecting Armageddon or another hit-and-run tactic, but the opponent apparently just decided to attack. Both heroes were weak mages shooting 2nd-level spells, and I had much more fodder, so the siege failed.
In the end, I still don't understand how to play these dwarves, because even with a great starting hand, you can't break through the guards even by week 3.

Many thanks for the game; it was funny how we couldn't load a couple of times – sometimes my internet dropped, sometimes the opponent froze, sometimes I got an error :)

valery (demon, Delab) defeated Vip.rus (gnome, Inga), sun, 4th week

Delab arrived on the 2nd day and immediately ran quite briskly, even though they didn't let her out of the tent for a long time. There was a lot of money, the pace was excellent, and then she also got incredibly lucky with two weeks of dogs in a row (with 2 hiding spots :D). As a result, she came to the gnome on the 4th week, when he was clearly not ready to defend himself against her.

Thank you for the game and good luck in the future!

bmay (Orcs, Haggesh) defeated Kapitan (Elves, Anven) with a score of 1-3-5. 1. I took a restart, even though a wyvern and 5 assassins appeared; the respawn point was just too empty, and the crash helped me decide. 2. The opponent took the second restart, almost immediately due to my mistake – I revealed a Krag with a wyvern. 3. The game continued without further restarts. Keegan appeared as the starting hero, in the tavern of Haggesh. It was immediately unpleasant – there was a third dwelling near the castle, which, as you know, is not ideal when playing against elves. However, the respawn point had many magic buildings and experience obelisks; Haggesh quickly acquired machines and a log. I painted the goblin dwelling and defended the outpost with shamans. By day 1-1-7, I had built bio-portals to the adjacent areas. In one, I sent cockroaches; in the other, I dove in with Haggesh, a ballista, centaurs, goblins, and shamans. In one of the adjacent areas, I found another dwelling of orcish fighters, which boosted my morale. By the third week, I had accumulated 145 warmongers, the same number of centaurs, and Haggesh with 20 attack, ranged attack, and almost a third shot for the ballista. With this, I cleared the second resource zone and looked for exits to the treasure. I blindly entered a portal and encountered 162 red succubi and the same number of minotaurs. They destroyed 50 centaurs and warmongers, after which I decided to return the loan (I had given my opponent a loan at the end of the second week). We loaded up and I entered another portal, located 5 steps from where I had been wronged. I cleared it without problems and, at the exit, saw the opponent's main hero. At that moment, I had enough thief guilds to assess the opponent's army: 8 upgraded treants, about 140 blue flies, 15 blue druids, 3 monks, and 46 elves (apparently, the opponent's life was not easy, because 46 elves with a dwelling on the third week is not much). Moreover, the opponent had transferred 15 druids to the cockroach. And I attacked. The ballista with centaurs immediately destroyed the archer stack, and even the regeneration on the treants could not help Anven withstand the attack. And, I must add, he had very good stats. The opponent fled, I immediately killed the cockroach with 15 druids, after which the opponent decided not to continue. Thank you, Kapitan, for the interesting game

From the start, there are 3 native heroes: Anven, Ilfina, and Dirael. It's beneficial to break into the adjacent area on day 2. There, I saw 2 artifacts related to magic guarded by ghosts, so I decided to take them (45 ghosts left me with only 1 fairy after I took 1 artifact). I returned to the starting area and found a dwelling of druids, but I didn't have anyone to break through it. I rushed to the second adjacent area, explored it, found some artifacts, and leveled up to level 20. The first and second adjacent areas were connected by a gate, which I cleared. I wanted to break into the mini-dungeon, but when I was clearing the guards, the opponent asked for a save (I returned the favor). We loaded the save, repeated the turn, crossed paths, and a Hag emerged from the portal. The archers and the ballista had already gone earlier... In general, it didn't turn out very well. Thank you for the game. Your Cap:smile19:

valery (demon, Delab) defeated Vip.rus (gnome, Inga), Sun, week 4

Delab arrived on day 2 and immediately started running quite briskly, even though they didn't let him into the tent for a long time. He had a lot of money, a great pace, and then he also got incredibly lucky with two weeks of dogs in a row (with 2 ambushes :D). As a result, he arrived at the gnome's place on week 4, when he was clearly not ready to defend himself.

Thanks for the game and good luck in the future!

Confirmed.

grelly (Haven, Vittorio) lost to Vsev (Necropolis, Lucretia) in a Match 3, 2-2-3 game.

Well, what can I say? He was playing aggressively throughout the game. But for some reason, instead of using a standard build with a Grand Order, he decided to use Match 3 and got confused with the zones:D. As a result, he barely managed to clear 7 zones by the 6th week and finally found a human castle. Since Vitia didn't have magic, he decided not to stay in the castle and attacked me during his turn. So, we fought in the field.

Thanks for the game;

P.S. My internet was lagging all days, and I haven't crashed this often in a long time:smile18:

grelly (Haven, Vittorio) lost to Vsev (Necropolis, Lucretia) in Might and Magic III, 2-2-3

Confirmed.
Although the initial setup was very good – Rutger, Vitia; 1st, 2nd dwellings, and a fortress – he couldn't break out of the skirmishes for a long time. As a result, he couldn't level up properly or get decent artifacts. Vitia only took the light castle literally one turn before the finale – without mass spells and without higher-level spells, he couldn't do anything against the Necropolis.
Thanks for the game. Good luck!

ekzekutor (Dungeon, Erinn) defeated Zak (Academy, Ora) in week 3
The game was going well, and I was ready to break through in the beginning of week 4. Zak was also ready, but his computer was constantly glitching. In the end, the opponent decided not to continue.
Thanks for the game.

ekzekutor (Dungeon, Erin) defeated Zak (Academy, Ora) in week 3

I confirm! Everything was fine, Ora reached the center in week 3! She was killing almost everyone, but my computer wouldn't let me play the whole game; I kept getting a blue screen! After about 15 times, I decided not to torture myself or my opponent anymore! Thanks for the game and your patience! I'll try to get my computer ready for the next game!

alex_nv (red, Orcs, Krag + Hagga) lost to moz (blue, Dwarves, Brand + Ingvar) 145. Labyrinth. Both players seemed to be doing well – towards the end, my Brand was level 22 with 16 spells, pyrokinesis, and machines. And Ingvar aggressively attacked with everything he had, with 10 spells and a bunch of weak units. But then the opponent started experiencing lag, and he decided not to prolong the game, although according to him, both heroes were over level 20.

Vsev (red, Stronghold, Haggeh + Krag) defeated Raykonnen (blue, Sylvan, Anven) in a mask match, week 7. Both players were doing well. Haggeh focused on secondary resources, while the elf concentrated on treasure. Their first encounter occurred on week 5 near my castle. Anven ended up paying 9 logs against my 380 goblins. After that, both players recovered, and I attacked the elf. The second encounter took place near the elf's castle, and in the end, only 12 Earth Spirits and 100 goblins remained. Because I had captured the secondary resources, I already had a strong base with 10 Lava Dragons and other dwarven units, plus Krag started leveling up (reached level 18, I think), so even if I had lost against the elf, my base would have secured the victory. Thanks for the game.

Vsev (red, Stronghold, Haggeh + Krag) defeated Raykonnen (blue, Sylvan, Anven) in a mask match, week 7

Both players were doing well; Haggeh focused on secondary heroes, while the elf relied on a treant. Their first encounter took place on week 5 near my castle. In the end, Anven bought his way out with 9 logs against my 380 goblins. After that, both players recovered, and I went after the elf. The second encounter was near the elf's castle, and in the end, only 12 Earth Spirits and 100 goblins remained. Because I had captured the secondary heroes, I already had a strong base with 10 lava dragons and other dwarven units, plus Krag had started to level up (around level 18, I think), so even if I had lost against the elf, my base would have decided the outcome.

Thanks for the game;)

Confirmed... I couldn't find him online, neither in the guild nor on the magic forums...

alex_nv (red, Orcs, Krag + Hagga) lost to moz (blue, Dwarves, Brand + Ingvar) 145. Labyrinth.

We were both doing pretty well - at the end, my Brand was level 22 with 16 spell power, pyrokinesis, and machines. And Ingvar aggressively attacked with everything he had, with 10 spells and junk. But then my opponent started experiencing lag, and he decided not to drag it out, although he said that both heroes were over level 20.

Yes, that's how it was, both were level 21-22. On turn 3, he was in the center, on turn 5 he wanted to attack the Guardian Orb, Krag was on the Battle Standard of Plenty, with Devil's Blow, Logistics to Path, Education, and was leveling up Leadership (it was given very late) to Empathy, Hagga - Attack to Stranglehold, Battle Standard of Plenty, Logistics to Path, and started leveling up machines (didn't want to take it, but was forced to). In the center was a native outpost with levels 5 and 6, and everything would have been fine, but I couldn't concentrate on the game and didn't want to torture the respected Moz. Thanks for the game!
