Adv (Mages, Ogre + Knight) defeated Mak0ffKa (Humans, Laslo) in Game 3, 1-4-7

In the first week, I rescued Knight from prison and generally had no problems.
It took a while to get Chaos, even though I had already found all the enhancement artifacts. Towards the end of the 3rd week, I emerged in one of the centers, which turned out to be a minor one, meaning it was poor. It was also covered in snow, and I lost almost a week there.
Then, while trying to find a treasure or a rich center, I breached the nearest portal, which, as it turned out, led to a neighboring town of my opponent.
I reached the town in 2 days, but I was one tile short of capturing it empty. As a result, we had a battle in the field, and Chaos won in favor of the Mage.
Thanks to my opponent for the game!

I confirm.
Something told me that Humans against Mages wasn't the best matchup, and I was right. My first "gift" was Laslo and Ellaine, plus a not-so-great starting zone. Thinking that things couldn't get any worse, I decided to restart. What do you think was waiting for me in the castles? Ellaine and Laslo...
I ran into over 80 blue elven archers with dwarven meat in the portal and lost over 40 archers.
Logistics only came online at level 15.
Thanks for the game.

KillAndAction (Fortress, Karli+Helmar) won against Zybr (Stronghold, Kragh) on Spider 2-3-5.

He probably didn't develop Kragh properly, and as a result, he couldn't kill the strongest guards. He lost periodically. Thanks for the game.

JonnyP (elves, Vinrael) lost to WisTrit (humans, Iris + Mive) in a spiral match, week 2. On the first day of the second week, I foolishly attacked the gargoyle lair and lost. My opponent didn't give me a chance to reload. I decided there was no point in continuing, so I surrendered. Thanks for the game.

Amko (Dwarves, Helmar) def Zybr (Necromancers, Kaspar) 2-3-5. M3.

I was developing a Light Mage, which is typical for Helmar. I was exploring dungeons, not bothering anyone. On week 6, I started developing a second hero. The main hero was exploring a great dungeon with mines. Then a Necromancer appeared. I had a full army, although there were very few Titans and Dragons. Of course, I recruited a lot of Dwarves. We fought. The Necromancer suddenly cast Slow. He would have destroyed 3/4 of my Dragons, but 40% resistance is a useful thing. And then, suddenly, a disconnect! I was shocked and started to PANIC. What if the nice resistance doesn't work? So, we reloaded and fought again. We did the same thing, the Necromancer cast his Slow... and nothing, there was no resistance, goodbye Dragons =( On the next turn, he cast Ring of Fire, finished off the last Dragon, and destroyed a bunch of Priests and Pikemen. I thought it was all over. But the Dragons and Messengers missed their targets due to the Rune of Invisibility, and the thick Dwarves reached a bunch of Archliches. Suddenly, luck returned, and the units hit with all their Dwarven might. The remaining ghost squad tried to escape from a group of units, but the Bears finished them off. There were still enough Skeletons to retreat, but Zybr decided to die and kill as many Dwarves as possible, so he could go out in style. The enemy hero died. Zybr surrendered to the mercy of the mountain people. The battle is over. Thank you for the game.

Amko (Dwarves, Helmar) def. Zybr (Necropolis, Kaspar) 2-3-5. M3.

I was developing a Light Mage, as expected from Helmar. I was exploring treasures, not bothering anyone. On week 6, I started developing a second hero. The main hero was exploring a great treasure with mines. Then a Necropolis hero attacked. I had a full army, although there were very few Titans and Dragons. Of course, I recruited a lot of Dwarves. We fought. The Necropolis hero suddenly cast Slow. He would have destroyed 3/4 of my Dragons, but 40% resistance is a useful thing. And then, suddenly, a disconnect! I was shocked, I started to PANIC. What if the nice resistance doesn't work? Well, we reloaded and fought again. We played the same way, the Necropolis hero cast his Slow... and nothing, there was no resistance, goodbye Dragons =( On the next turn, he cast a Ring of Fire, finished off the last Dragon, and destroyed a lot of Priests and Pikemen. I thought it was all over. But the Dragons and Messengers missed their targets because of the Rune of Immovability, and the thick Dwarves reached a bunch of Archliches. Suddenly, luck returned, and the units hit with all their Dwarven might. The remaining Ghost squad tried to run away from a group of units, but the Bears finished them off. There were still enough Skeletons to retreat, but Zybr decided to die and kill as many Dwarves as possible, so he could go out in style. The enemy hero died. Zybr surrendered to the mountain people. The battle is over. Thank you for the game.

The second attempt started very well - everything went smoothly. I was lucky with the obstacles, and I trapped the Archers nicely. But there was nothing to dispel the Light Aura of the Dwarf, and after a good start, everything went downhill - if there was double damage, it was against Immovability, almost all spells were resisted, the Dwarf was hitting with luck almost constantly, and he also had the Berserk Rune. In short, although there was an advantage in numbers, everyone was killed. I didn't run away, although there was still something to fight with, I didn't want to waste time. I don't see the point in grinding for victory, developing another hero, clearing all the treasures around, when I completely outplayed him in developing Amko. Thank you for the game:)

Adv(Necros, Lucretia) defeated Ment(Elves, Ilfina) 2-2-7 Diamond

Started with Vlad, then captured an external dwelling of level 5 and bought Lucretia; there was also an external dwelling of level 3, which played into the elf's hands.
My opponent had Ilfina, everything seemed fine, but something went wrong for him.
For me, on the contrary, everything went like clockwork; at the end of week 3 I found a treasure zone, and without logistics I feasted on it for almost 2 weeks; on week 5 I broke camp and headed toward the enemy through a secondary hero. The final showdown was in the elf's castle; a significant advantage in troops and hero progression decided the game in the necro's favor.
Thanks to my opponent for the game!

Adv(Necro, Lucretia) defeated Ment(Elves, Ilphine) 2-2-7 Diamond

Started with Vlad, then captured an external dwelling of 5th level and bought Lucretia; there was also a 3rd level external dwelling, which played into the Elf's hands.
My opponent had Ilphine, seemed to have everything, but something didn't work out for him.
For me, on the contrary, everything went smoothly; at the end of week 3 I found a treasure zone, and without the Logistics skill I feasted on it for almost 2 weeks; on week 5 I broke out and headed to the enemy through a secondary hero. The finale was in the Elf's Castle; a significant advantage in troops and leveling decided it in favor of the Necro.
Thanks to my opponent for the game!

I confirm all points. From the very beginning, I had an experimental approach to the game. That's why I allowed such a not-so-good faction matchup during the random roll. When I started, the odds were simply astonishing: the game gave me an Elven dwelling, and Ilphine was offered machines at level 3! I was so happy that for a second I forgot that I was playing Ilphine, and a second later it was already too late to fix anything. Well, I thought, okay, let's try this way. Naturally, the Logistics skill couldn't fit into the build anymore, I was running around at a snail's pace, spell schools almost never came up on level-ups... Also, luck with neutrals wasn't great: max stacks everywhere, Dwarf Cottages with five Erels — that's certainly a nasty thing, and due to my own noobiness I kept forgetting to remove my shooters before battle. At least there were no money problems, but considering my opponent was a Necro, that's definitely not a plus. Another nuisance: the guild had no decent spells, neither Chaos nor Light. In particular, there was no Stop Cold spell, which is almost always present in Elven castles. Towards the end, I scouted around a bit and seemed to have entered a good zone with a secondary town (unfortunately, Orcish) and a bunch of useful artifacts (before that, mostly junk was turning up), but then reconnaissance reported that the Necro had entered that zone. I expected him to be strong, but not to this extent... His army was about twice as large as anticipated; apparently, Adv had acquired a secondary castle a long time ago. I hastily retreated to my castle, and he came running. The last unpleasant surprise was my opponent's tactics, which prevented me from shielding my troops with Ancient Ents, and his high speed (couldn't have been without a ring). Mass Haste and Summon Phoenix from my opponent's side were already perceived more as a funny joke, just to have a laugh :) But regardless, we had a good time. Thanks for the game!

Bolivar (Humans, Krag + Knight) defeated WisTrit (Demons, Deleb) on Spiral, around week 5. The first time, I restarted – my opponent had Deleb. I had Dugald. But I didn't see any archer nests. The second time – my opponent had Deleb. I didn't have Dugald, nor any archer nests. As it turned out later, only griffins were available. So, my opponent would have Temptresses. I started with Knight and 1 peasant. Later, I bought Krag with 1 goblin. As a result, I had problems with gold. But from week 2, Krag started to excel. I invested in anti-darkness against demons. The final battle was in the treasure, Krag was level 25, and Deleb was level 21. Krag had more troops – the training made a difference. And, it seems, my opponent didn't quite succeed, as there were few Temptresses. Thanks for the game.

Ment(Orcs, Haghesh, a bit of Garuna) def Zybr(Demons, Jezebeth, Daleb)
It started out too well (Hagga, two Centaurs), but the opponent didn't take a rest. Apparently, like last time, I decided to experiment :) To my surprise, I took Jez (later I found out that this hero was given machines at the second level). Hagga was a beast. I took education, leadership (with a passion for battle), attack with ranged weapons (the only drawback of the build is that retribution wasn't fully developed by the end of the game), anti-magic, and logistics (with finding the path and the path of war). I went to clear things out – here and there. The opponent was doing worse: Jez wasn't developing well. In the second month, the opponent decided to take Daleb instead of her, but it was too late: I decided to attack, and three days later I reached the opponent's castle, but he wasn't there yet. In the castle, Zybr had some remaining growth and an unlearned berserk. The opponent said that he couldn't make it and surrendered.
Thank you for the game!

In Zybr's castle, there was still some growth remaining and an unlearned berserk skill. The opponent said that he was already too late and surrendered.
Thanks for the game!

I decided to play as Demons because they supposedly gave Jez and quickly got machines. But things turned out much worse. Jez never got ballista, and in the second week, there was a plague week, which halved the number of Succubi. Throughout the game, they kept pushing for catapult and earth shock. I wanted to switch to Grok, but things didn't work out for him either. Then, at the beginning of the second month, Daleb arrived. Things went well with her, but the opponent timely interrupted my Plan B by appearing at a very unfortunate time for me. It was late, and it would be unwise to waste any more time on pointless farming. So, I raised the white flag.
Thanks for the game:)

Ment(Academy, Hafiz) def Amko(Sylvan, Anven), with a smile.
First, the opponent took a break. I didn't mind, as my hero selection wasn't great: Jalib and Faiz, not the best heroes against elves. After the break, Hafiz and Razzak appeared, and I was happy. Things went pretty well; almost everything was being defeated. The only problem: they didn't want to give me a log (they didn't give me one until level 23, even though I left a slot empty). I moved into the third zone, and it turned out to be already half-cleared by an elf, but the best stuff was still there. I attacked a fort guarded by 150 archmages, and they dealt me a lot of damage, unfortunately. Then, the elf came to me, we fought, but I surrendered with a small number of Rakshasa and one Titan. I started to build up my strength, clearing another zone. The elf was impatient, so he came to me. We circled around for a while and eventually started a battle in an open field. I defeated his dancers and unicorns (the latter thanks to the Fan spell). The opponent didn't continue the battle, assessing his chances as very low.
Thanks for the game!

Adv(Gnomes, Sveya) defeated Zybr(Infos, Grok) 2-2-4 Spider

Terrible start, Sveya and Brand, very poor respawn, shooters and mages everywhere... The situation was saved by a redeemed Nazir and a Phoenix Cloak that arrived at Sveya's starting position.
One adjacent zone was sand, very stretched and sparse, the second was steppe without roads, and didn't allow expanding. Only the third adjacent zone turned out to be normal, so I leveled there. From the adjacent zone on week 3 I broke into a resource zone, there I leveled up to 22 and broke into the town on week 4, then into a mini-treasure zone, where on week 6 we met the demon in the field. I had all my main army with me, the opponent only had their field army, the demon decided not to drag things out and simply crashed into Sveya, which he did.
Thanks for the game!
