despite the fact that Solmir and Taz were papas until the end, Taras and Ajit fought in the finale

there were 3 swamps on the map, the opp took one in week 1, double))
Solmir, however, spent the whole week running across the wilderness to his companion, the road was blocked by treasure zone guards((
naga dwellings without djinn (there was their external dwelling, but there weren't enough resources for construction, so I put in a citadel)
when I saw that I couldn't reach the companion on 121, U-turn, Solmir goes to take the 2nd cons, then into the corner, nowhere else to go for now, there are gloves, boots, another cons (3) and Jeddit from prison, who basically decided the game :)
first he took back a +5 shield, then -- already with adv. earth -- the cyclops nest on the tower, and for his sake I leveled up as many as 2 loser-schoolboys (Solmir had earth too)), failed the 1st one with air, but the 2nd was leveled up at the very last moment, when the papa with about 180 mana burst into the Dragon Utopia on 133
max level, I go in with everything I had, angels in the corner under shield and stone skin, plus a slayer from Coronius came in handy as an add-on to resurrect)) got out with angels and caps, they gave boots for resist, +10 knowledge cap and 2 books -- blue and white, which decided it:

there was contact in the center, my loser was chased away from the tavern village (after Laura's kettle, the last harpy survived on 1 (!!!) hit :D I check the overview in the basement, and I see a necro-village with blue power nearby, as well as the Dragon Utopia to the right
I make a run with the papa supposedly toward the upper village, but actually I want to turn toward the lift, to lure away the Dragon Utopia if the blues don't get there first
the opp didn't know he was spotted and gave a gift: half the power on the loser, half in the village and Taz on the move, though with gr. fly and tactics he is unkillable without shackles
Dragon Utopia for now can wait, I destroy the power, cut down everyone around (thought for a long time -- whether to chase Taz away, or let him spend moves breaking it himself, but chased him anyway)
then 2nd Dragon Utopia (there was stone skin, yeah))) and runs with losers and papa for AoTD
then running around, I take the surviving swamp-companion and Solmir at the start of the week doesn't reach it, as usual, 1 move from the opp's swamp -- the blues move their growth into the corner
then I take the last swamp from the blues, and they are without castles, but temporarily
eat another 3 Dragon Utopias, interesting stuff: blue cap, +10 SP, sword +12 and everything in pairs of 2
parallel to this, I level up Taras with air and logy, Solmir also got logy in the 8th slot as a bonus -- oh wonder -- to offense!! before that I even took water for the book))
power: at the start of the week I buy everything from 3 swamps, upgrade ducks and Solmir makes a dash into the corner, Taras breaks in there, DD, minus loser, another DD -- blue army! (didn't have time to hit Taz)
finale under orb and AoTD, opponent writes GG

thanks for the game, good luck further :)

The spawn was simply magnificent: Kyrre with elves, Dragon Fly Hive, and OneToAll for 50-99 vampires right under the Castle, not far from the road to the Griffin Conservatory, I found a total of 4 Conservatories at home, 3 stacks of Grand Elves, 2 stacks of Dwarves, 1 stack of Pegasi, 1 Centaur. There were stables a bit off the road, but not far from the first Conservatory. Also, Ivor appeared from the start, which resulted in having 11 units without buying from the town on day 111. There were many good heroes: Nimus, Moandor who necromanced whenever possible, Taz joined at the end of the week. By the end of the week I had decently leveled Kyrre and Ivor, took all the stacks — had some minor money issues, but managed to buy out the main heroes. On day 121 I had 50+ Grand Elves, 100+ Centaurs, 50+ Dwarves, Dendroid Soldiers, and 5 Unicorns, and Ivor with Expert Archery and Offense, both heroes standing at the stables, ready to break any Conservatories. But the generator played a trick on me — out of 4 home Conservatories, 2 were Minis and 2 were Dwarves, and another 3 Conservatories in the nearest adjacent zones were also minimum-size. Sticky's situation was diametrically opposite — all Conservatories were very fat — none smaller than 3, but there wasn't enough army to take them in the second week, which ultimately decided the game. Marusya couldn't handle the first Conservatory on maximum.

Thanks for the game!

Thank you for the game.

7 heroes, good main, 3 paths, stables, 13 fish, the opponent surrendered due to a lack of motivation for the tournament.
Thank you for the game!

Galtran, 2 Gnoll lairs, 7 Basilisks from Bron, but he got distracted by something outside the game and attacked 20+ Water Elementals (even though there were almost 50), and he also got distracted during the battle, it was a bad game.
Thanks for the time.

I barely made it to the end of the first week because I encountered 3 companions at a crossroads (and each one, unfortunately, had a ranged unit). Then I helped out a bit. And on turn 137, my opponent brings a powerful unit on a horse to Kirruha.
Thank you for the game.

I ran into exactly what I feared when I had 2 resets left — Galthran, Ciele, Clavius, and a couple of other strong heroes showed up, an experience stone stable along the way, everything seemed great, I started necromancing right away, there was even an extra bugged passage with a road! But it turned out to be blocked by a relic and pandora's box guard. When I saw that the second direction along the road was blocked, vague suspicions started creeping in. Naturally, it turned out I was completely locked in when I could no longer reset. On day 117, with almost my entire army lost, I break through the road block of 15 hell creatures with Ciele, but 8 skeletons aren't an army, and I had no money. Things didn't get much better after that — a little further and another block. In the end, I endured for 2 weeks trying to get some momentum through Gurney, another week to gather at least some skeleton army and start taking hives. By the end of the fourth week, I repelled the КВ, took a Dragon Utopia with a level 5 hat, +4+4 belly armor, but essentially nothing else for stats. However, with the boost, Explosion dealt 1200 damage. I took the opponent's main, killed all the meat there except for the Vivi, which turned out to be 70+ against Gundula with superior stats but no mana. In the end, sloppy movement and an attack after Gundula took 2 more hives — there were 84 Vivi with 27 attack and 12 defense. My stats: 13/14 and +2 speed, 40 Vivi, 270 skeletons, 25 demons, genies. But there was Winged Movement — I was tempted to attack, couldn't test it properly. There was an Orb, no money. I traded my entire army for 47 Vivi, retreated, and started scraping together an army again. Over 2 turns, I gathered 20 ducks, 2 bone dragons + 150 skeletons, bought some growth with money from a Pandora's Box, took the computer, checked, and there the opponent, after 2 Dimension Doors, takes the Pandora's Box, doesn't kill its guard, and runs off further. And we were playing with ХВ rules to prevent such things. I didn't forgive him, as usual) thanks for the time.

Played well, except for the one-sided match. Went with a Striker on a difficult map, found a Necropolis, and by the second turn, I had collected 400 bones. I noticed some red players and managed to catch Craig in the village at the beginning of the third turn. GG.
Thank you for the game.

The game went great, with good results against other players (2 Myth units on the respawn point) and a minimum of +1 conservation. On another respawn point, there were a couple of Hives and a couple of conservation points. But there was no money at all, and as a result, I lost in a conservation battle – I killed Craig and then spent a long time struggling with 6 heroes, and thanks to the companions coming out of the one-way portals, there were only 4 of them left. I took only one object for money on day 131. Somewhere in the middle of the week, I captured a Town Portal, and then found a place to build it. There were 3 folders with expert Earth creatures: Dessa, Gundula, and Nella. They slowly devoured a good half of the map, and on day 147, I dug up Craig, quickly pumped him up, and with 18 Grey Dragons, 19 Angels, and 60 Vivacious, I came to the opponent, and also had an elixir, a Red Orb, and +2 to speed. There is a terrible road network and only one exit to the world through a crooked one-way portal on the snow. I'm already annoyed by Sodushka with these one-way portals; it's impossible to play. 6LM or 8HM games end with victories for the Monoliths.
Thank you for the game.
