Full restart and a lucky shuffle. The native respawn is poor on gold, but the Griffin Conservatory is revealed. I immediately go for the Inferno secondary. By the time I reached and took it, I nearly lost the entire stack of Gnolls due to nasty guards. From two respawns I barely scraped together enough for Vivi in the citadel. The main hero isn't leveling properly, no gold... everything is bad. Bought the growth with an exchange down to zero. Picked up the Flail +4, Boots, and headed for the underground secondary, but news of the forfeit arrives. The opponent died in the conservatory. Just lucky.
Thanks for the game!

On the first week I took my native secondary hero and opened an overview that revealed the enemy's respawn. On the second week I gathered an army and attacked the hero in the castle, but was defeated and bought myself out; amigo had only one angel in his army. On the 3rd week I gathered all the meat and attacked, only this time the mage zapped the angel with the archer on 133.
Thanks for the game.

I confirm.

I didn't have a day to buy an army.

You should have built a Capitol.

Group D shameonyou (blue, swamp, alkin) def. Player_ (red, undead, tamika) 2SM4d(3) 134

I messed up with the dark elf, ended up giving away the red undead :( .

Opp used all three restarts, I used none, so we played on.

111. Scouting with 5 heroes, meat is average, but I see decent gold, good roads, opponent is in the dungeon, and there are less than 5 heroes on day one, I decide to play (just in case 112).

112. I find a native secondary behind a horde of unupgraded zombies. Good. I play. Money-wise not a lot, but tolerable.

113. I attack a stack of zombies for the secondary with a scout hero with stats 0 0 3 3 and useless magic. There are 100 of them, and I have 15 unupgraded lizardmen; due to a fail I didn't have enough money to upgrade. I had to sweat through a long fight. In the end I break through with losses of 10 gnolls and 1 lizardman.

114. I take the native secondary, nearby a sword +2 +2 behind a group of knights, I think about taking it later. Money problems start. I collect what I can with chains.

115-117. I run around collecting money and resources, I build 1 2 6 in the citadel in both castles, buy lizardmen and break through a horde of upgraded zombies for the second native secondary. Simply great. On the secondary there's Griffin Conservatory 2-4, on my respawn there's an unchecked one, there's a Dragon Fly Hive behind a horde of iron golems.

121-124. I somehow buy wyverns and lizardmen, I carry troops to take the level 2 Griffin Conservatory. No spell book, but I have a scholar with slow in my pocket, so I'm not too worried, earth should work. The Griffin Conservatory falls with heavy losses in the form of 50 gnolls. I fought poorly. But now I have two angels.

125-126. I break through the golems for the hive and burst in, it has 4 wyverns :( . They give earth :smile20: I break into the underground through a group of pegasi that didn't retreat, then a group of fanatics retreats :D . I see red flags, good, opponent is nearby.

127. I build a supply chain + upgrade lizardmen from the secondary, I take the opponent's main, standing unguarded. Everything is bought out there, but knights are in the citadel and the grail. I buy a spell book for alkin, re-learn slow. Earth is still the base.

131-132. I bring all the purchases from two castles, in the army there are 95 lizardmen, 22 wyverns, and 2 angels + I have a reserve in the form of two drowning waves + two Griffin Conservatories at home.

133-134. I run to the portal leading to the citadel (the opponent ran there), I realize the opponent most likely went into the treasure zone on mud (there's an exit to it from my respawn as well). I almost entered the treasure zone, but news of the wipe comes :D .

Thanks for the game!

He approached the game very seriously.)))
On the same day that Sergey messaged me on ICQ with a proposal to play a tournament, I found out that he not only lives in the near Moscow suburbs but is also from the same hometown as me. Therefore, we unanimously decided to celebrate all this today at some pub over a mug of beer. This is what I like about the Heroes community – it's full of open and friendly people, and Sergey is one of them. I'm very glad to have met him.

I approached the game more than thoroughly )))
The same day Sergey pinged me on ICQ with an offer to play a tournament game, I found out that not only does he also live in the near Moscow suburbs, but he's also a fellow countryman from the "small homeland". Therefore, a unanimous decision was made to celebrate this very day in some pub over a mug of beer. What I like about the Heroes community is the open and sociable people, and Sergey is exactly that. Very glad to meet him ))

Now about the game.
On 111 I see 2 roads - one to a swamp secondary town, the other to the Guarded Object for LotS of ghost dragons. The road to the secondary can't be broken through either - a horde of gr. lizards, so I have to take the swamp off-road, fortunately there is a passage there behind a horde of centaurs.
The hero lineup is excellent - Moner, Ciele, Clavius. Since no external dwellings are visible except one of imps, I decide to make Clavius the main hero, so that at least skeletons trickle in, since I need something to fight with.
On day 4 I capture the swamp castle, at its respawn I find 3!! external dwellings of bulls, 1 of hydras and 1 of wyverns. Hydras and wyverns are behind impenetrable guards, so I only collect the bulls.
Things are bad with money - of the income buildings, only the dwarf cottage for 20 at the respawn, which I don't have time to capture in week 1.
Building - in Inferno: 1000 gold, market, gogs and demons.
In the swamp: market, flies and bulls.
I managed to buy all the bulls from 3 external dwellings by trading resources.
Clavius immediately got Logistics and on 121 is preparing to break through the passage into the treasure zone along the road behind the LotS of Eyes.
After breaking through, we see a Dragon Fly Hive in the underground behind a horde of gr. eyes, a utopia, and we rush further to a teleporter leading to another secondary town. It turned out that the path to the secondary goes through the treasure zone with a teleporter. The secondary turned out to be a Castle one with an external dwelling of marksmen, griffins, an imp hovel, 2 crypts for 5 and 10 vamps, and a mini-naga bank. I collect all this, finally get money for recruitment, and aside from that I gathered 100 skeletons. The skeletons, however, all fell when the scout hero broke through a horde of gr. lizards that were on the road to the swamp secondary. Clavius got Air magic, has Haste.

At the end of the second week, the scout hero at the swamp respawn finds a passage into a second treasure zone, where, in principle, there are things to do, but everything is rather far away, and also a passage to the opponent's respawn with a conveniently located stable.
I make a decision - to run to the opponent's respawn rather than into the treasure zone, hoping for surprise, besides I had leveled up Mass Haste.
On 127 I arrive with Clavius, with what I had: 21 bulls and 1 gr. fly at the opponent's respawn. 90 shooters and Mass Haste. I think, if he attacks, I'll buy myself out with a trade of troops. But Nitro didn't attack; on 131 with the same army I run around his respawn, reveal the map, and see that no one can reach me, because I have Expert Air Magic Scouting and I can see where the enemy heroes are. On his turn, Valeska returns to the respawn. On 132 I buy 5 wyverns, 7 bulls, 7 gr. flies, upgrade 10 basilisks, also transfer 100 skeletons, bring all this to Clavius and attack Valeska, who has higher stats, has 22 marksmen, 20 wyverns and 5 champions, but has nothing to counter Mass Haste.
Thanks for the game!
