dmitrik (Elves, Wing) defeated ekzekuter (Dungeon, Irbet) with a Spider, week 5. The Elf had the advantage, with strongholds at positions 3, 6, and 7, and Wing as his hero. The Dungeon player, on the other hand, didn't have a good game. Thank you for the game.

Daniel (mages, Axel + Nazir) defeated Stefandmy (human, Dugald). Mask, 2-4-2
We played without restarts. At the start, we had Faiz, Nazir, and Vitya. We only had level 1 creatures in the dungeon. I initially decided to use Nazir for ranged units and Vitya for the late game, but Axel appeared in the second week, and I thought he would be more перспективнее. I played at a leisurely pace; in the second week, I took the adjacent mine, and in the third week, I took the secondary mine, but I didn't take the Necropolis. Nazir grew well in the dungeon and got Pyrokinesis. From the third week, Axel cleaned up the second adjacent mine with mages and thunderbirds. In the Castle, there was no regeneration or resurrection, so I had to get Eternal Light. In the fourth week, I broke into the Treasury, where I got Resurrection, and I started clearing the Treasury more calmly. I spent about two weeks doing this (there was no log). I got the Orb of the Magi, and then I had to take Leadership on the Mentor. Meanwhile, my opponent cleared his Treasury and the mini-Treasury. And I left the Shackles in my Treasury for some reason, so my opponent entered my Treasury and took the Shackles. My Nazir lost 80 golems when trying to break through from the adjacent mine and flew home. At the same time, Axel crashed there, received mini-creatures from the mage (knowledge 32), and went to fight in the center. The human had already been in the center, but he didn't take much. In the seventh week, I reached Stefan's Castle, but I didn't dare to attack; I wanted Nazir to do something first, although, considering the Shackles, it was almost pointless. In the end, Nazir managed to take 1 angel and 17 griffins. The final battle was in the human's Castle. I had more mana and all the mass spells, except for Divine Might. My opponent was unlucky; his spells were deflected a couple of times. Slowly but surely, the mage shot down the human until the arrows ran out, and then I finished it off with a teleport of cats with 30 initiative to the monks.
Thank you for the game!
P.S. I'm attaching a recording of the final battle.

The elf came to my starting town and died there. Thanks for the game.

Confirmed. "Died" is putting it mildly. ))))
Lucretia was level 31, with a significant advantage in stats and hit points compared to Osira.
Thanks for the game!

It was. Didn't restock at the start with three of my own units. Can't complain, the setup was quite decent. My skills are lacking, what can you do – I was still thinking about equipping the Amulet of Light and visiting the Fountain. But...
Thanks for the game.

XREH (Humans, Dugal + Erin) defeated Sir_Moz (Mages, Jalib + Wingael) in Might & Magic III, 1-3-6. We gave out Night Stalkers 3+7, gave Dugal, and he started collecting resources. He built 40 archers in the first week and rushed into the dungeon, where he was defeated. Moz gave him a load. He continued more cautiously, took firearms, Outlaw, and Oracle... and it seemed like nothing was scary anymore. In the second week, he went through the portal. On one side, there were 100+ riders, which he defeated without problems, but on the other side, there were 100 druids, against whom he was defeated again. Moz gave him another load. He went through another zone and ended up in a resource-rich area almost simultaneously with Jalib. They missed each other slightly, and he ran to take the castle. In the castle, Wingael was with only 5 titans and some minor units. He took the castle and won.

G_L people dugal won ABKSever magic orc 2-1-2 spider
Turns 2, 3, 4, 6: lots of creatures, little money. On turn 2, I bought Vit for resource gathering, but he produced more than he gathered. On turn 3, I moved to the center, reinforced myself well, and on turn 4, I went to the enemy's castle. There, I encountered the orc. I faced a hit-and-run attack with 2 archers, a dozen griffins, and about 30 archers. On the next turn, I moved to the castle. The mage had little mana, the titans were not upgraded, had little defense, and almost no minions. A ballista, not blocked or destroyed, and ranged attack, along with 5 remaining archers with resurrection from dugal, secured the victory. Thanks for the game!

G_L people, DuGal won against ABKSever, Magic Ores 2-1-2 spider
External dwellings 2,3,4,6, lots of meat, little gold. On 2 I bought Vitya for resource gathering, but he ended up losing more than he gathered. On 3 to the center, where I reinforced decently, lost about 30 archers to hell horses, and on 4 to the GO. There I met up with the Horde. I ran into Hitran with 2 archangels, a dozen griffins, and about 30 arbalests. Next turn into the castle. The Mage had little meat, unupgraded titans, no defense, and almost no minis. The ballista that wasn't blocked and wasn't destroyed, with firearms, and 5 remaining archers with resurrection from DuGal carried the day. Thanks for the game!

It happened. Restarted 2-3, got archers again, plus DuGal from the start. Overall the start wasn't bad, but unfortunately the adjacent zone with portals to the center was snowy, the other two, though native, were very unpleasant in terms of huge spaces without roads and scattered objects, plus the distance from the adjacent zone with the portal to the treasure zone (where I ended up) to the adjacent zone to the resource zone was 4 full days (breaking to town didn't save much either, the gain was half a day at best, and even that wasn't certain). Well, I didn't fight in the center, I had no ice, because the secret wouldn't be revealed, and the Horde turned out to be somehow off (at level 21 with the highest native spell school at 6). In the end, on the fourth try I broke to town, decided to level Narghez, charged him into the GO from my side, from the other side came Heralds with deadly grip, I had to hit them with the Horde and golems. I saw the opponent, Narghez was level 13 with expert light and magic resistance, but I decided to fight with the Horde, as the stat difference was just awful (3-3) against something like 18-18, and I simply had nothing to damage with. In the fight, luck wasn't on my side either, the ballista resisted the first cast of Ring of Cold at 10%, and well, overall the Horde with 8 spell schools and chaos didn't carry. And my main mistake was at the draft stage, when due to my dislike of rushes I removed the dungeon for myself.
Thanks for the game.

Will, blue people, Rutger def Noom, mage, Narhiz, week 5, Lab.
He didn't take machines against the mage and initially moved slowly, giving out two-for-one trades, which was good for the blue players, 2-4 on week 4. He found a treasure and quickly cleared it, finding many good artifacts and a ring of initiative 20. Then, through the Global Order, he went to his opponent and attacked a castle without the main hero - thanks for the game.

Confirmed. The pace wasn't right – I realized too late that I needed to level up Helmar as one of the main heroes (there was no better option). Before the opponent broke through my Town Hall, I was attacking their Town Hall with chaos and golems, I made a mistake and had to retreat – I didn't have time to buy myself out, and my second hero was only level 16 and was leveling up in the adjacent area. In principle, there was no chance against Rudger with 25/25/20/20 stats and teleport, anyway. Good luck to Will in the next round, and I'm going on vacation.

Adv (Orcs, Krag) defeated Alex_nv (Dungeon, Irka) 1-4-7 Mask
Sneaks 2-2-3, Krag from the start, no restarts.
On turn 3, he defended his native secondary town and went looking for treasure, at the beginning of turn 4 he found it, immediately entered the temple, it turned out to be a maximum level one, he gave 50 gold, but received bracers, equipped himself with artifacts, and fully upgraded his anti-chaos skills. There was one adjacent town next to the opponent's town, so he decided to return home, jump around, and kill on turn 4. But then the opponent decided to jump himself.
As a result, a "battle" in the field, Krag level 26, with all the meat, with a large stat advantage, Dungeon level 20 and 14 mana, and that's the end of the story.
Thank you for the game.

dmitrik (Elves, Wynn) defeated Daniel (League, Sinistar) 5 week rainbow

Tough game, tricky template, bold opponent.

Dwellings of unicorns and dendroids, one treasure chest on the starting zone, adjacent zones were rather poor, not enough gold. From the second day I went with Talanar, from the beginning of the second week with Anwen on unicorns and regeneration, by the end of the second week two heroes had cleared 3 adjacent zones, but the gold was only enough for building.

From week 3 I rushed Wynn, gave him an army after exchanging resources, and immediately sent him through the portal to the center. He went from level 2 up to 18 in a few days, and at the end of week 3 I encountered the Warlock — the enemy lost half the hydras, I lost archers and half the unicorns, which hurt me more, but I drove the Warlock away from my native secondary town.

Next, I searched for the treasure zone with Wynn, but it wasn't that easy. I broke through a bunch of portals, found two more secondary towns, but no treasure zone or treasure vaults — in the entire game I found only one Grove among the strong treasure vaults. Light magic wasn't offered until level 21, so the pace was slow. The ordeal ended abruptly — the Warlock flew out from a Garrison Obelisk and attacked Wynn the next day; the Warlock's battle stats were higher than the Elf's, spell power nearly 30, but the Elf got lucky — luck, curses. The Warlock managed to cast spells twice, but couldn't buy himself more time.

Thanks for the game.

From week 3 I ran Wynn, gave him an army after trading for resources and immediately sent him via portal to the center, from second level he rose to 18 in a few days and at the end of week 3 we met a warlock, opponent lost half the hydras, I lost archers and half the unicorns, hurt me more, but drove the warlock away from my native secondary town.

Then Wynn went looking for treasure zone, but no such luck, broke through a bunch of portals, found two more secondary towns, but neither treasure zone nor treasure vaults, in the whole game found only one grove among strong treasure vaults. Light magic was not given until level 21, so the pace was slow. The ordeal ended suddenly, a warlock flew out of the Guardian Object and the next day attacked Wynn, the warlock's battle stats were higher than the elf's, spell power close to 30, but the elf got lucky, luck, curses, the warlock managed to cast twice, but didn't have time to retreat.

Thanks for the game.

I confirm.
I was going slowly myself. Sinitar was delayed in the adjacent zone, where there was a decent number of Dwarf Cottages/crypts, only broke into the center in the middle of week 3. In parallel, I sent Irbet to another one - but in that entire adjacent zone - only one Dwarf Cottage and no more crypts or gargoyles either. In the center, Sinya saw only 2 crypts before meeting the enemy. So I was also short on money. Buying artifacts from the shop was out of the question. Irbet ended up being only level 10. Having spent almost all resources, I bought hydras and witches and went to hit the Guardian Object. Hundreds of yellow ents and hundreds of knights (along with Isabel's knights) on my side went through relatively smoothly. The opponent at the Guardian Object had hundreds of monks and hundreds of unicorns. Struggled with the monks, they roughed me up a bit, the unicorns went through smoothly. Didn't make it from the Guardian Object to the castle in 1 day. In the final battle, the warlock hit hard, but luck 3, which worked almost like absolute luck, didn't allow him to escape in time. Well, fortune favors the strongest:)
Thanks for the game!

Yaughen (Stronghold, Keegan) lost to Nobody (Fortress, Brand)
2-4-2 Letos

Both took a restart; on the third map there were external dwellings of levels 1, 2, and 3. I started quickly with Brand and everything was fine, but there was no external market in the starting or adjacent zones. Arcane warriors didn't spawn in week 1, and dragons didn't spawn in week 2. After that, I managed to build up somehow. An Orc with good stats entered my same-zone with a marching army; he didn't attack and ran off somewhere. Meanwhile, I finally reached my treasure zone, fought for the Unicorn Bow, two Dragon Utopia, and returned home to hit ГО. Simultaneously, Inga leveled up on chaos and learned several runes. I bought a couple of artifacts in ГО and holed up in the castle. The Orc rushed me through ГО. I tried to outsmart him about 3 times with Inga, but 900+ goblins didn't let me cast (I had shock with boots, orb with phoenix cloak). Plus, the Orc banned chaos, but Brand was on light with all mass spells except mass dispel and bless. In the castle, the Orc was shot down without making a single hole in the wall. Thanks to my opponent for the game!
