Bolivar (mages, Jhalib + Krag) won against Theoretik (orcs, Garuna) this summer, at the beginning of the second month.

They met in the center; Jhalib had already upgraded his triple ranged attack and had the Ring of the Magi. The mage killed almost all the creatures and escaped through a portal into the city.
After that, Jhalib bought everyone (except the Titans, with whom Krag was earning money) and ran back to the center - it wasn't far, and the Logician with boots helped him.
The final battle took place in the same center, but Garuna stood at the gates (I think the opponent made a mistake here), and while the orcs were running to Jhalib's troops, the mage managed to summon a Phoenix + a phantom on a Rakshasa (he had a level 6 ambush). And, of course, a ballista.
Thanks for the game.

moz (red, Orcs, Krag) won rakot (blue, Mages) M3, week 5
Thank you for the game.

Bolivar (mages, Jalib+Deleb) defeated MOO_IR (mages, Miv) sun, 7th week I think.

External dwelling 4+5 - multidwell. And it was a nightmare. All guards were upgraded - mages and djinn were upgraded, rakshasas and Thunderers were alt-upgraded. Now, I'm not the father of all to give definitive advice, but taking such an external dwelling on week 1... Djinns used same-type spell on my gremlins, mages used fist and fireball, alt-upgraded rakshasa went to tear down the cover, and Thunderers just pulled back onto those same gremlins. On week 1 you lose all your troops just to take ordinary mages and djinns...
On day 2 I bought Jalib, and he even managed to take this external dwelling at the end of the week, losing only half the gremlins. But all the gargoyles and some minor cover were gone. The opponent fared worse, although Nazir was glowing for him.
Well anyway, about the game.
In the city there was regen, but nothing else - no resurrection, no phoenix.
In the intermediate and respawn zones - grass, in MT - orc land, in the treasure zone - demonic.
Logistics wasn't offered throughout the whole game, nor attack. Luckily, there was defense, given somewhere around lvl 20. I never caught evasion, but Miv had evasion and held up well in the finale (though she was without attack).
The finale happened in my treasure zone - the opponent jumped over the wall (by the way, why make such thick walls around a treasure zone if there are holes in them that allow you to jump into the treasure zone in 2 moves? probably a bug).
The opponent managed to eat my Temple. And some other minor things. Jalib quickly ate the Dragon Utopia and one turn later, with shackles, both boots and stables, reached Miv - having previously brought all troops to Jalib (Miv had no gargoyles, golems and was missing one full growth). But by that time Jalib already had a stats advantage of +20, and wasn't far behind in attack and defense.
Towards the end of the finale, Jalib started using minis for troop recovery and the opponent surrendered.
There was also a native city in the secondary zone, but I didn't have much time to build it up, so it practically didn't affect the finale. But if it had dragged on, it would have helped, of course. And near the second city - a gargoyle external dwelling.
Yes, there was also Deleb lvl 22, with logistics, light, mass-evasion, mass-score, BDP and OSs in addition to specialty. But she only distinguished herself by making money, although, in principle, she was prepared for the finale too.
Thanks for the game.

Noom (red, Orcs, Haggash/Krag) defeated Moo_ir (blue, Mages, Hafiz) 141, spider.

We scribbled our way to this pair, the opponent restarted the first layout; in the second one I tried to kill the 111 guard of the dwelling with a skill (20-50 Crossbowmen), failed, and took a restart. We played the third map, external dwelling of witches, starting with Haggash; immediately took the pre-max crypt (lost 5 Centaurs and 30 Gobs) and went to grind. Quickly found machines with a tent, cleared the adjacent zone, crashed back home and at 132 went into the center. There I ate two pillars, opened a portal to the second center, found a ring of machines and the road to the opponent. At 137 I was already at his starting area. At 141 I brought the remnants of unrecruited meat from the previous week and killed the mage in the castle without issue. Thanks for the game.

alijvit (elves, Haven) defeated KillAndAction (orcs, Fortress) on Spider map.

Thanks for the game!

Noom (red, human, Dugal/Vitya) defeated Teoretik (blue, dwarf, Erling) 311, Sun.

He played well – Dugal with a hidden unit, then Vitya came as a cockroach. Portals to adjacent areas – it took about a day and a half to travel, so he moved slowly. On the 4th week, he only broke through to the main town, and sent Vitya to the gold mine. He trained monks throughout the game, starting from the second week. Dugal, without logistics, cleared the treasure that turned out to be without undead and temples – only 5 relics guarded by units like 100 dragons and a hidden unit of phoenixes in the treasury for gold. On the 6th week, he broke through to the opponent's main town and they met (previously, he sacrificed Vitya – Erling managed to attack on the last turn and killed him, preventing him from taking a turn). I, without dispel and antimagic, endured an attack from a dark-aligned dwarf with a full set of spells. I had to pay 60 monks when they started casting spells that dealt -25 damage to monks. The opponent was left with 150 shields, 19 Erlings, and 20 elders – the rest died. A couple of days later, the opponent made a mistake and gave my cockroach almost an empty Castle, while he defended the secondary town. The second encounter was a one-sided victory in my treasure, where I had already acquired all the light magic, and 100 monks were unstoppable.

Bolivar (Elves, Ossir+Gilraen) defeated Noom (Elves, Vinrael+Gilraen) on the last day of the second month.

P.S. We chatted with the opponent after the game, and at the time of Gilraen's defeat, Ossir had more troops in all his stacks. And although the opponent had a hero of level 25 with a troop bonus, I wouldn't have given him another month or two to develop.
