Two native heroes and 3-4 cons arrived at the castle, but right away, on the way, I encountered a block of 10-19 Wyvern Monarchs guarding the Pandora's Box... I thought for a long time whether to take the last rest or not, but I decided to play on. I found 2 more cons of 3-4 in the depths of the respawn, built 1-3 in the citadel, and defeated the miner for the book (found a scroll of blessing and a necklace +1 round). In the next 2 turns, I gathered 9 angels and started spreading out. I killed the Castle's companion and started building angels. On turn 126, I found a level 2 Utopia (with wings) at home and another Utopia in the treasure room. I built a chain there to take a level 9 Marrow, but the Utopia turned out to be maxed out, so I had to wait for growth. I took the Pandora's Box with a level 10 hero, having farmed it on Hydras and maxed out the mass shield. On turn 131, I broke through the maxed-out defense, losing all my health and one angel, and the only useful thing I got was +4+4 armor, but I have 9 Archons! On turn 147, I overwhelmed the opponent in the castle. With equal parameters, 20 Archons under the elixir, he had nothing to kill them with.
Thank you for the game.

The judges put our group through hell, so just in case, I'm reporting this. Bludi said he could play on the weekend from 12:00, but he couldn't. He promised to play today after 21:00, but the result was the same.

A worthy opponent did not show up, so I decided to necro with Vidomina, while using Turis as the main hero. On the first day, I didn't take the company swamp because of the shooter blockers, which were very annoying by the end of the game and almost cost me the main castle. I ran to the underground village via Town Portal; the village was a Dungeon. I farmed almost a hundred skeletons, got the horses built at the Citadel, and barely found wood by the end of the week. On the second day, both main heroes started gathering Dragon Fly Hives — Vidomina with Oil and Turis with Haste), and I wasted all the timer. I got the Angel, the Library with both heroes, and by the end of the second week, I had about 48 Ducks. I ran towards the zone where at the start of the third week I took the Blue tavern. The next turn, Miner shows up with decent stats around 25-9-7-5, clearly after a Dragon Utopia. It got scary even with the hundred Ducks, so I ran back towards the Blue super-treacherous area looking for goodies and Dragon Utopias, where I spotted the edge of another Library. Meanwhile, Brown started scouting my respawn area with about 125 creatures. Good thing he didn't attack the castle where 7 Gnolls led by a Mage were sitting), because I couldn't send the chain due to the action on the map. Thanks to max Cyclops by the end of the second week, I managed to build the 5th Mage Guild. It gave decent spells for early contact: Armageddon + Resurrection + Mirror. Blue, on their turn, takes back the Tower; their army shows 9 Angels, 8 Ducks, 160 Troglodytes, plus meat. It's scary to attack with just Ducks and without the offensive magic that Vidomina still hasn't learned since I just finished the Mage Guild and there was action. So I run into the super-treacherous area with just the two main heroes and build a sneaky chain. Miner decides to run towards my Dungeon — the trap plan worked, Miner stopped a few steps from the castle. I transfer the army to Turis, disband Vidomina, Turis scouts everything back. I buy back Vidomina in the Dungeon and attack with 47 Ducks in one stack. First turn, Armageddon for 600 damage, which kills everyone except 7 Angels and 60 Troglodytes. Then melee with the remaining 37 Ducks using Resurrection. Good game.
Thanks for the game!

I attack with 47 ducks in one stack.

So many final battles were lost... once, wowa caught my dad with 10 gray bears in one stack; he had 5 snakes and a lot of mana. I already thought I would have to type "gg," but luckily, he managed to buy his way out with 3 bears :)

Very lucky with minimum stat utopians. In the first one, immediate control, in the second +5 to everything. My opponent fought admirably in the final, but there was nothing and no one to finish off 2 angels.

Thanks for the game.

The plan was clear: drench them with rain and then resurrect them against the remaining units. That's why I didn't think it was necessary to take the other 4 horses, 1 angel, and some meat into the battle. I only thought about blinding them later.

There was a clear plan here: drench them with rain and then resurrect them to fight the remaining forces. That's why I didn't think it was necessary to bring the other 4 horses, 1 angel, and some meat into the battle. I only thought about blinding them later.
