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!

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

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.

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!

Ment (Orcs, Hag, a bit of Garuna) def. Zybr (Demons, Jezebel, Daleb)
It started too well (Hag, two Centaurs), but the opponent didn't take a break. Apparently, like last time, I decided to experiment. To my surprise, he took Jez (I later found out that this hero was given machines at level 2). Hag was a beast. I took education, leadership (with battle frenzy), attack with ranged weapons (the only drawback of the build was that retribution was never fully developed), anti-magic, and logistics (with pathfinding and warpath). I went to clear things out – here and there. The opponent was in worse shape: Jez's build wasn't working out. 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 enemy castle, but he wasn't there yet. 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!
